Abstract

Aim: Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetti, which has been known for many years in our country and can cause epidemics from time to time. Methods: This review summarizes the epidemiology, clinical signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of Q fever, and also aims to review the literature on the involvement of this disease in children. Results: Child case reports and seroprevalence studies have increased worldwide, especially in the last 20 years. A seroprevalence study investigating Q fever in children from our country could not be reached. Conclusion: Türkiye is among the countries where Q fever can be seen. There is a need for clinical studies investigating the seroprevalence of Q fever in children (patient groups, risk groups, and healthy populations) in our country.

Özet

Amaç: Q ateşi Coxiella burnetti 'nin etkeni olduğu, ülkemizde uzun yıllardır bilinen, zaman zaman salgınlara yol açabilen zoonotik bir hastalıktır. Yöntemler: Bu derleme çalışmasında Q ateşinin epidemiyolojisi, klinik belirtileri, semptomlarını, tanı ve tedavisini özetlemekte, ayrıca bu hastalığın çocuklardaki tutulumlarına yönelik literatürün gözden geçirilmesini hedeflemektedir. Bulgular: Dünya genelinde çocuk vaka bildirimleri ve seroprevelans çalışmaları özellikle son 20 yılda artmıştır. Ülkemizden ise çocuklara Q ateşini araştıran seroprevelans çalışmasına ulaşılamadı. Sonuçlar: Türkiye Q ateşinin görülebildiği ülkeler arasındandır. Ülkemiz çocuklarında (hasta grupları, risk grupları ve sağlam popülasyonda) Q ateşi seroprevelansını araştıran ve klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
