Abstract

Background: Complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion causes high morbidity and mortality. Identification of the etiological agent is the key element for appropriate treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate whether getting the higher isolation rate of causative bacterial agent is possible by additional bedside blood culture method for parapneumonic effusion samples. Materials and Methods: Parapneumonic effusion samples taken from patients with pneumonia between January 2015 and January 2018 were studied in the referral hospital for thoracic diseases in Turkey. Samples were processed by both standard and bedside BacT/Alert blood culture method. Isolation and identification of bacterial agents were done by standard microbiological methods. The descriptive statistics were applied. Results: Fifty one patients with pneumonia accompanied by parapneumonic effusion, who met the inclusion criteria, were included in the study. Bacterial agents were isolated by standard microbiological method in 3 (5.9%) patients and in 11 (21.5%) patients by blood culture bottle at the bedside method. Conclusion: The bedside blood culture bottle method has been found more sensitive than the standard culture method for the detection of bacterial pathogens in parapneumonic effusions.

Özet

Amaç: Komplike parapnömonik plevral efüzyon, yüksek morbidite ve mortaliteye neden olur. Etiyolojik ajanın tanımlanması, uygun tedavi için anahtar unsurdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, parapnömonik efüzyon örnekleri için ek yatak başı kan kültürü yöntemi ile etken bakteriyel ajanın daha yüksek izolasyon oranının sağlanıp sağlanamayacağını araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2015-Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında pnömoni hastalarından alınan parapnömonik efüzyon örnekleri referans bir göğüs hastalıkları hastanesinde çalışıldı. Örnekler hem standart hem de hasta başı BacT/Alert kan kültürü yöntemiyle işlendi. Bakteriyel ajanların izolasyonu ve tanımlanması standart mikrobiyolojik yöntemlerle yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler uygulandı. Bulgular: Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan parapnömonik efüzyonun eşlik ettiği pnömonili 51 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bakteriyel ajanlar standart mikrobiyolojik yöntemle 3 (%5,9) hastada, 11 (%21,5) hastada ise kan kültürü şişesiyle yatak başı yöntemiyle izole edildi. Sonuç: Yatak başı kan kültürü şişesi yöntemi, parapnömonik efüzyonlarda bakteriyel patojenlerin saptanmasında standart kültür yönteminden daha duyarlı bulunmuştur
