Abstract

Leeches are blood-sucking hermaphrodite parasites and more common in rural areas. They usually occur after drinking untreated rural water or swimming in rivers or lakes. In this way, it mostly involves the upper respiratory tract. In this case, we presented a 65-year-old female patient who presented with hemoptysis due to the leech in the oropharynx.

Özet

Sülükler kan emici hermafrodit parazitleridir ve kırsal alanlarda daha yaygındır. Genellikle arıtılmamış kırsal su içtikten ya da nehir veya göllerde yüzdükten sonra ortaya çıkarlar. Bu yol ile bulaşta sıklıkla üst solunum yoluna yapışırlar. Bu olguda biz 65 yaşında hemoptizi şikayeti ile başvuran ve orofarenksinde sülük tespit edilen bir bayan hastayı sunduk.
