Abstract

Aim: To evaluate malnutrition, anemia and related deficiency of vitamin B12, iron and folic acid in children with neurological disease and related nutritional problems. Material and Method: In this study, our aim was to investigate anemia and possible reasons such as iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency among patients with nutritional problems who were admitted to Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Faculty of Medicine, Outpatient and Service of Pediatric Neurology between June 2010 and December 2010. The study involved a total of 50 patients (30 male and 20 female). A control group including 30 boys and 20 girls was included in the study as well. Complete blood count, iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 values were studied. Results: A total of 39 patients (78%) had malnutrition; among malnutrition patients 16 (32%) had severe malnutrition, 18 (36%) had moderate malnutrition and five (10%) had mild malnutrition. A total of 22 patients (44%) had anemia, iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency or vitamin B12 deficiency alone or in combination. Nine of 22 patients (18%) had iron deficiency anemia, four (8%) had iron deficiency, five (10%) had folic acid deficiency, one (2%) had folic acid deficiency macrocytic anemia, six (12%) had anemia of chronic disease, two (4%) had B12 deficiency, four (8%) had both iron deficiency anemia and folic acid deficiency. Conclusions: In our patients with neurological disease, nutritional deficiencies and anemia were found to be quite frequent. These patients should get a special care for nutrition and should be checked periodically for anemia and nutritinal parameters.

Özet

Amaç: Nörolojik hastalığı ve buna bağlı olarak beslenme sorunu olan hastalarda beslenme bozukluğu, anemi ve bununla ilişkili olarak demir, folik asit ve vitamin B12 eksikliğini değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Nöroloji Polikliniği’ne ve servisine Haziran 2010- Aralık 2010 tarihleri arasında başvuran, beslenme sorunu olan nörolojik hastalarda anemi ve bunun nedeni olabilecek Fe eksikliği, folik asit ve B12 eksiklikleri ileriye dönük olarak araştırıldı. Çalışmaya 30’u erkek, 20’si kız toplam 50 hasta alındı. Hasta grubu ile karşılaştırmak üzere 30’u erkek ve 20’si kız olmak üzere 50 çocuk kontrol grubu olarak alındı. Tüm hastaların ve kontrol grubunun kan sayımı, demir, folik asit ve B12 vitamini çalışıldı. Çalışma için etik kurul onayı alındı (05.08.2010/200-11/3). Bulgular: Hastaların 16’sında (%32) ağır, 18’inde (%36) orta, beşinde ise (%10) hafif derecede olmak üzere toplam 39 (%78) beslenme bozukluğu vardı. Yirmi ikisinin (%44) laboratuvar bulgularında anemi ya da eksikliği, folik asit ya da B12 vitamini yönünden anormallik saptandı. Bunların dokuzunda (%18) demir eksikliği anemisi, dördünde (%8) demir eksikliği, beşinde (%10) folik asit eksikliği, birinde (%2) folik asit eksikliğine bağlı makrositer anemi, altısında (%12) kronik hastalık anemisi, ikisinde (%4) B12 eksikliği, dördünde (%8) ise demir eksikliği anemisi ve folik asit eksikliği birlikteliği vardı.Çıkarımlar: Nörolojik hastalığa bağlı beslenme yetersizliği olan hastalarımızda beslenme bozukluğu ve anemi oldukça sık görülmüştür. Bu grup hastalarda beslenmeye özel bir özen gösterilmeli ve hastalar anemi yönünden zaman zaman kontrol edilmelidir.
