TY - JOUR T1 - Sudden Hearing Loss after Rabies Vaccination TT - Sudden Hearing Loss after Rabies Vaccination AU - Güçlü, Oğuz AU - Dereköy, Fevzi Sefa PY - 2013 DA - March JF - Balkan Medical Journal PB - Trakya University WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-3123 SP - 327 EP - 328 VL - 2013 IS - 3 LA - en AB - Background: Sudden hearing loss developing after immunisation is a very rare situation. Rabies is a viral disease characterised by encephalitis and death. Treatment involves active and passive immunisation. Neurologic complications including Guillain-Barre syndrome or facial paralysis are reported in the literature as a side effect after rabies immunisation. Case Report: Sudden hearing loss was detected in an 11 year-old male patient who had taken the medication for rabies immunisation. Conclusion: This study presents a case report of sudden hearing loss developing after rabies immunisation - no other aetiological factors were detected and clinical management is discussed in light of the literature. Turkish Başlık: Kuduz Aşısı Sonrasında Görülen Ani İşitme Kaybı Anahtar Kelimeler: Kuduz, aşılama, yan etki, ani işitme kaybı Arkaplan: İmmünizasyon sonrası ani işitme kaybı gelişmesi oldukça nadir görülen bir durumdur. Kuduz, ensefalit ve ölüm ile karakterize bir viral hastalıktır. Kuduz hastalığının tedavisinde aktif ve pasif immünizasyon bulunmaktadır. Literatürde kuduz immünizasyonu sonrası yan etki olarak rapor edilen nörolojik komplikasyonlar (Gullian Barre sendromu, fasiyel paralizi) bulunmaktadır. Olgu Sunumu: 11 yaşında erkek çocukta kuduz aşısı sonrasında gelişen ani işitme kaybı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada kuduz aşısı sonrasında gelişen ani işitme kaybı olgusu(başka bir etiyolojik neden bulunamamıştır) sunulmakta ve klinik yaklaşım tartışılmaktadır.
