Özet

Dört yaşında kız çocuğu başında ve sol üst göz kapağı üzerinde kene ısırığı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Kene ısırıkları bir gün önce hastanın ailesi tarafından fark edilmişti. Muayenede sağ üst göz kapağı kirpik kenarında kene enfestasyonu saptandı. Her iki gözde kapaklar ödemliydi ve sol göz kapağı hafif hiperemikti. Künt uçlu bir forseps yardımıyla, uygun teknikle kene çıkartıldı ve profilaktik sistemik antibiyotik tedavisi başlandı. Olguda yüksek ateş ve kanama pıhtılaşma zamanlarında uzama gibi bulgular izlenmedi. Mikroskobik incelemede kenenin Ixodes türleri olduğu saptandı. Her iki göz kapağındaki ödem 3 gün sonra düzeldi ve sistemik herhangi bir komplikasyon gözlenmedi. Serolojik incelemelerde Kırım Kongo Kanamalı ateşi yönünden etken tespit edilmedi.
