Abstract

In this study, 19 patients with-Mediterranean spotted fever followed up in Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital between 1996 and 2004 are retrospectively evaluated with their epidemiologic, clinic and laboratory findings. All the patients had high fever and maculopapuler rash, and 14 patients (73.6 %) had "tache noire". The diagnosis was confirmed with indirect immuno-fluorescent antibody assay in one case and in others with Weil-Felix agglutination test. One patient was treated with levofioxacin (500 mg/day), two patients with ciprofioxacin (1.5 g/day) and the other patients with doxycycline (200 mg/day) successfully.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Haydarpaşa Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde 1996-2004 yılları arasında izlenen 19 Akdeniz benekli ateşi olgusu, epidemiyolojik, klinik ve laboratuvar bulgularıyla retrospektif olarak irdelenmiştir. Olguların tümünde ateş ve makülopapüler döküntü, 14 (%73.6)'ünde "tache noire" saptanmıştır. Tanı; bir olguda indirekt floresan antikor testi ile, diğerlerinde Weil-Felix aglü¬tinasyon testi ile doğrulanmıştır. Bir olguya levofloksasin (500 mg/gün), iki olguya siprofloksasin (1.5 g/gün), diğer olgulara doksi-siklin (200 mg/gün) tedavisi uygulanmış olup olguların tümü şifa ile sonlanmıştır.
