Abstract
Hirudoterapi, tıbbi sülükler (Hirudo medicinalis) kullanılarak yapılan bir tedavi şeklidir. Çok eski çağlardan beri tıpta çok çeşitli koşulları
tedavi etmek için kullanılmaktadır. Hirudoterapi etki mekanizması sülüklerin kan emerken dolaşıma, içerisinde birçok biyoaktif
maddenin bulunduğu bir salgıyı enjekte etmeleri sayesinde gerçekleşir.
Hirudoterapiye bağlı muhtemel komplikasyonlar arasında uzun süren kanama, yara enfeksiyonları, anemi ve alerjik durumlardır. Bu
olgu sunumunda Hirudoterapi sonrası gelişen yara enfeksiyonu devamında lenfajit enfeksiyon olgusu ve klasik tedavinin yanında
Nöralterapi ile tedavisi sunulmuştur.

Abstract
Hirudotherapy is a form of treatment using medical leeches (Hirudo medicinalis). Since ancient times, medicine has been used to
treat a variety of conditions. The mechanism of action of hirudotherapy occurs when leeches are sucking blood into the circulation,
injecting a secretion in which there are many bioactive substances.
Possible complications due to hirudotherapy include long-term bleeding, wound infections, anemia and allergic conditions. In this
case report, we presented a case of lenfajitis infection and classical treatment as well as treatment with neural therapy following a
wound infection following hirudotherapy.
