Abstract

Although the common clinical findings of viral infections are fever and various skin rashes (maculopapular, vesicular petechial etc.), they may cause alterations in peripheric blood cell counts such as bicytopenia, pancytopenia. Especialy in recent years, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) has started to be considered primarily in patients with complaints of fever, petechia and bicytopenia in Turkey. However, some rare viral agents may also cause the same findings. In this case, we reported a patient with sandfly fever, initially misdiagnosed as CCHF because of the clinical and laboratory findings mentioned above.

Özet

Viral enfeksiyonlar klinikte ateş ve çeşitli karakterde (makülopapüler, veziküler, peteşi gibi) deri döküntülerinin yanı sıra kan sayımı parametrelerinde bozukluklara (anemi, lökopeni, trombositopeni) neden olabilmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda, ülkemizde ateş şikayeti ile başvuran ve döküntü (peteşi) ile bisitopenin eşlik ettiği hastalarda Kırım Kongo kanamalı ateşi (KKKA) öncelikli düşünülür hale gelmiştir. Bunda bu hastalığın görülme sıklığındaki ve farkındalığın artmasının etkili olduğu söylenebilir. Ancak Türkiye'de ateş ve bisitopeni ile başvuran hastalarda artık KKKA dışında diğer nadir viral ajanlarında etken olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu vaka bildirimde kliniğe ateş şikayeti ile başvuran ve laboratuar incelemeleri sonucunda öncelikle KKKA düşünülen ancak tatarcık humması saptanan bir vaka sunulmuştur.
