Özet

Hemorrhagic varicella is one of the serious and frequently fatal forms of the VZV infections especially in immunocompromised patients. We report a 9-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia suffered from hemorrhagic varicella infection. During follow-up period progressed acute respiratory distress syndrome developed in the patient. Continuous acyclovir infusion therapy was applied instead of intermittent acyclovir administration. Continuous infusion of acyclovir could be a life-saving treatment strategy in disseminated or hemorrhagic varicella infections in immunocompromised children.

Abstract

Hemorajik suçiçeği, özellikle bağışıklık sistemi baskılanmış hastalarda varisellazoster-virüs enfeksiyonlarının ciddi ve sıklıkla fatal seyreden formlarından biridir. Hemorajik suçiçeği enfeksiyonu geçiren akut lenfoblastik lösemili 9 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunduk. Hastanın takibinde akut solunum sıkıntısı sendromu gelişti. Aralıklı asiklovir tedavisi yerine sürekli asiklovir infüzyonu tedavisi uygulanmıştır. Sürekli asiklovirin infüzyonu bağışıklığı baskılanmış çocuklarda dissemine veya hemorajik suçiçeği enfeksiyonlarında yaşam kurtarıcı bir tedavi stratejisi olabilir.
