İnfluenza A ya Bağlı Postenfeksiyöz Serebellar Ataksi ve Hepatit: Olgu Sunumu

Öz

İnfluenza, sağlıklı çocuklarda genellikle kendi kendini sınırlayan bir enfeksiyon olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır; ancak birçok çocuk hastada komplikasyonlar görülür. İnfluenza virüsleri, solunum sekresyonları ile temas (hapşırma, öksürme, konuşma, dokunma) veya kontamine nesneler yoluyla insandan insana bulaşır. Genellikle; hava, damlacık ve temas yolu ile insandan insana bulaşır. Titreme ile yükselen ateş, baş ağrısı, miyalji, halsizlik, iştahsızlık, fotofobi ve balgamsız öksürük sık saptanan semptomlardır. İnfluenza enfeksiyonuna bağlı olarak miyozit, febril konvülsiyon, Reye sendromu, aseptik menenjit, akut serebeller ataksi, transvers myelit, Guillain-Barré sendromu, akut dissemine ensefalomyelit, miyokardit, perikardit ve hepatit gibi komplikasyonlar gelişebilmektedir. Bu makalede influenza A ya bağlı gelişen post enfeksiyöz serebellit ve hepatit tanısı alan bir çocuk hasta sunulmaktadır.

Postinfectious Cerebellar Ataxia and Hepatitis due to Influenza A: A Case Report

Abstract

Influenza often appears as a self-limiting infection in healthy children; but in many children complications appear. Influenza viruses are spread from person to person, through contact with respiratory secretions (through sneezing, coughing, talking, touching) or by contaminated objects. Generally; transmitted from person to person by air, droplet and contact. Fever rising with chills, headache, myalgia, weakness, loss of appetite, photophobia and cough without sputumare common symptoms. Depending on the influenza infection, complications such as myositis, febrile convulsion, Reye's syndrome, aseptic meningitis, acute cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, myocarditis, pericarditis and hepatitis may develop. In this article, a pediatric patient diagnosed with post-infectious cerebellitis and hepatitis due to influenza A is presented.
