Abstract

Background and Design: There are very few clinical series about Mediterranean Spotted Fever (MSF) reported from Turkey. Fifty-six patients admitted with fever and rash were diagnosed as MSF in our hospital by clinical, epidemiological signs and Weil-Felix test. We aimed to take attention to the similarities and differencies with another tick-borne infection Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) reported lately in Turkey. Material and Method: Between 1989-2006 years 56 cases were diagnosed as rickettsioses based on epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data. We evaluated the patients retrospectively using by “Diagnosis guide for tick transmitted infections in Europe” prepared by ESCMID Study group for Coxiella, Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Barthonella (ESCAR). We compared two diseases according to the Fisher’s exact test in clinical and laboratory characteristics. Results: Twenty-nine female and 27 male cases reached to 25 point according to ESCAR diagnostic scoring were included into the present study. Age distribution was 20-80 years (mean 43), duration of hospitalization was 1-38 days (mean 8 days). Tache noire was established in most of the cases (64%). All of the cases were recovered by 7-10 days of doxycyclin treatment except one case stayed in hospital for 38 days and died. When it is compared statistically haemorrhagic manifestations, history of tick exposure, nausea and vomiting, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia rates were found higher in CCHF (p

Özet

Amaç: Ülkemizden Akdeniz Benekli Ateşine (ABA) ait yayınlanmış veriler sınırlı sayıdadır. Döküntü ve ateş yakınması ile başvuran 56 hastaya kliniğimizde klinik, epidemiyolojik bulgular ve Weil-Felix testi ile ABA tanısı konmuş, literatürde ülkemizden bildirilmiş, keneyle bulaşan Kırım Kongo Kanamalı Ateşi (KKKA) olguları ile benzerlik ve farklılıklarına dikkat çekilmek istenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1989-2006 yılları arasında epidemiyolojik, klinik ve laboratuvar özellikleri ile 56 riketsiyoz olgusuna tanı konmuştur. ESCAR çalışma grubu (ESCMID Study Group for Coxiella, Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Bartonella) tarafından hazırlanan “Avrupa’da Kene ile Bulaşan Bakteriyel Hastalıklar Tanı Kılavuzu” ile hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. ABA ve KKKA; klinik ve laboratuvar özellikleri açısından Fisher’in exact testi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: ESCAR tanı kılavuzuna göre gerekli 25 puana ulaşmış 29’u kadın 27’si erkek 56 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Yaş dağılımı 20-80 yaş (ortalama 43), hastanede kalış süresi 1-38 gün (ortalama 8) idi. Olguların çoğunda 'tache noire' (%64) saptandı. Tedavide 7-10 gün doksisiklin kullanılan olgulardan 38 gün hastanede yatan ve kaybedilen tek olgu dışındaki diğerleri tamamen iyileşti. İstatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldığında, hemorajik manifestasyonlar, kene teması öyküsü, bulantı-kusma, trombositopeni ve lökopeni oranları KKKA’lı olgularda ABA’ya göre yüksek bulundu (p
