Abstract

Group A Beta-Hemolytic Streptococci (GABHS) cause serious infections such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing faciitis and nonsuppurative complications as well as tonsillo-pharyngitis. In this study, the throat cultures taken from primary school children in Manisa were studied in terms of GABHS carriage. Out of 320 children GABHS was isolated from nine children (2.8%). The correlation between carriage and socio-economic level as well as hygienic conditions was investigated, but no statistically significant difference was found.

Özet

A Grubu Beta-Hemolitik Streptokoklar (AGBHS) özellikle çocukluk çağında tonsillofarinjit yanısıra streptokokkal toksik şok sendromu ve nekrotizan fasiit gibi ciddi infeksiyonlara ve nonsüpüratif komplikasyonlara yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Manisa ili'nde ilkokul çağındaki çocuklarda boğaz kültürü yapılarak AGBHS taşıyıcılığının saptanması amaçlanmıştır, incelenen 320 çocuğun dokuz tanesinden (% 2.8) AGBHS izole edilmiştir. Çocukların sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi ve hijyenik durumları ile taşıyıcılık arasındaki ilişki araştırılmış ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır.
