Abstract

infectious diseases worldwide. Respiratory viruses are the leading causeof respiratory infections in children. Herein, we aimed to determine theepidemiologic and clinical feautures of viral agents among hospitalizedchildren with lower respiratory tract infections.Material and Methods: Nasopharyngeal swab specimens were obtainedfrom the 422 patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of lower respiratorytract infections between December 2012 and December 2016. Multiplexreverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed for thedetection of viruses.Results: Viral respiratory pathogens were detected in 311 patients(73.7%). In regard to respiratory virus subtypes, 103 patients (33.1%) hadrespiratory syncytial virus, 102 (32.7%) had human rhinovirus, 49 (15.7%)had multiple viruses, 15 (4.8%) had parainfluenzavirus, 13 (4.1%) hadadenovirus, nine (2.8%) had human metapneumovirus, eight (2.5%) hadhuman coronaviruses, six (1.9%) had bocavirus, five (1.6%) had influenzavirus, and one patient (0.3%) had enterovirus. The median age was lowerin patients with multiple viruses (p

Özet

Amaç: Solunum yolu enfeksiyonları tüm dünyada en yaygın görülen enfeksiyon hastalıkları arasındadır. Virüsler çocuklardaki solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarının en sık nedenidir. Bu yazıda, alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu nedeniyle hastanede yatan çocuklarda viral etkenlerin epidemiyolojik ve klinik özelliklerinin incelemesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Fakültemiz çocuk enfeksiyon servisinde Aralık 2012– Aralık 2016 tarihlerinde akut solunum yolu enfeksiyonları tanısı ile yatırılan 422 hastadan nasofarengeal sürüntü örneklemesi alındı. Virüslerin saptaması için multpileks polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu yöntemi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Viral solunum yolu virüsleri 311 hastada saptandı (%73,7). Solunum yolu virüslerinin tiplendirilmesi yapıldığında; 103 hastada (%33,1) respiratuvar sinsitiyal virüs, 102 hastada (%32,7) insan rinovirüs, 49 hastada (%15,7) çoklu virüs, 15 hastada (%4,8) parainfluenza virus, 13 hastada (%4,1) adenovirus, dokuz hastada (%2,8) metapnömovirüs, 8 hastada (%2,5) koronavirüs, altı hastada (%1,9) bokavirüs, beş hastada (%1,6) influenza virüsü ve bir hastada enterovirus saptandı. Çoklu virus saptanan hastaların yaşı daha küçüktü (p
