Amaç
Anafilaksi ani başlangıçlı, hayatı tehdit eden, sistemik
alerjik bir reaksiyondur. Bu çalışmada anafilaksi tanısı
ile takip ettiğimiz olguların demografik özelliklerini,
klinik bulgularını, anafilaksi tetikleyicilerini ve ilk basamak
tedavide adrenalin kullanım durumunu değerlendirmeyi
amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Mayıs 2021- Ekim 2023 tarihleri arasında çocuk alerji
bölümünde anafilaksi tanısı ile takip edilen 0-18 yaş
arasındaki hastalar incelendi. Anafilaksi tanısı alan
olguların demografik özellikleri ve anafilaksi tanı ve
tedavi kayıt bilgileri değerlendirildi.
Bulgular
Toplam 46 anafilaksi hastası değerlendirildi. Hastaların
28’i (%61) erkek olup, ortanca yaş 3,5 (ÇAU: 1-10)
yıl idi. Tüm yaş gruplarında en sık 3 tetikleyici sırasıyla
besin (%61), ilaç (%20) ve böcek zehiri (%20)
idi. Süt, besinler içinde anafilaksiden en çok sorumlu
tetikleyici idi (%22). Olguların %28’ i ağır anafilaksi tanısı
ile takip ediliyordu. Birinci basamak tedavisinde
adrenalin kullanım oranı %52 idi.
Sonuç
Besinler erken çocukluk döneminde anafilaksiden en
çok sorumlu olan tetikleyicilerdir. İlk başvuruda adrenalin
kullanım oranı oldukça düşüktür. Anafilaksi tanı
ve tedavisine yönelik tüm sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik
eğitim programları verilmelidir.

Objective
Anaphylaxis is a sudden-onset, life-threatening,
systemic allergic reaction. In this study, we aimed
to evaluate the demographic characteristics, clinical
findings, triggers of anaphylaxis, and the use of
adrenaline in first-line treatment in pediatric patients
with anaphylaxis.
Material and Method
Patients aged 0-18 years who were followed up
with a diagnosis of anaphylaxis in the pediatric
allergy department between May 2021 and October
2023 were evaluated. Demographic characteristics,
anaphylaxis diagnosis and treatment registry of
patients with anaphylaxis were evaluated.
Results
A total of 46 anaphylaxis patients were evaluated.
Twenty-eight (61%) of the patients were male, and
the median age was 3.5 years (range: 1–10). The
three most common triggers in all age groups were
food (61%), drugs (20%), and insect venom (20%),
respectively. Milk was the most common trigger
responsible for anaphylaxis among foods (22%). 28%
of the cases were followed up with a diagnosis of
severe anaphylaxis. The rate of adrenaline use at the
initial presentation was 52%.
Conclusion
Foods are the triggers most responsible for anaphylaxis
in early childhood. The rate of adrenaline use
at first presentation is very low. Training programs
should be organized for all healthcare professionals
on the diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis.
