Üst Gastrointestinal Kanamalı Hirudiniasis Vakası

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 3, 0 - 0, 01.07.2012

Abstract

Sülük enfestasyonları epistaksis, hemoptizi, hematemez, vajinal
kanama ve anemi gibi semptomlara sebep olabilir. Beş yaşında
erkek hasta acile 1 aydan beri burundan çift taraflı sızıntı şeklinde
kanama ve 2 gündür kanlı kusma şikayeti ile getirildi. Hasta soluk,
burun ve orofarinkste sızıntı şeklinde taze kanama ile birlikte farinkste pıhtı olarak değerlendirilen görünüm izlendi. Laboratuar
tetkikleri normal olan hastanın aktif kanamanın kontrolü için yapılan tekrarlı orofarinks ve nazofarinks fizik incelenmesinde pıhtı
benzeri görünümün 4x1 cm boyutlarında sülük olduğu kanaatine
varıldı. Hipertonik saline solüsyonu verilerek mukozadan ayrıştırılarak çıkarıldı. Kırsal kesimden gelen hastalarda sebebi açıklanamayan kanama ve anemi tablolarında sülük enfestasyonu akla
getirilmelidir.

A Case of Hirudiniasis with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 3, 0 - 0, 01.07.2012

Abstract

Leech infestations can lead to several symptoms, including epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematemesis, vaginal bleeding and anemia. A five-year-old male patient presented to the emergency ward with bilateral bleeding from the nose in the form of leakage with a duration of one month, as well as bloody vomiting and blood in the sputum for two days prior to admission. The patient was pale, the nose and oropharyngeal mucosa were pale with fresh leakagetype bleeding and there was a similar clot in the nasopharynx. Laboratory examinations were normal. Examination of the oropharynx and nasopharynx was repeated to assess for active bleeding, and a leech 4x1 cm in size was found in addition to a clot. The leech was detached from the mucosa following administration of a hypertonic saline solution and removed with forceps. Leech infestation should be considered in cases of bleeding and anemia of unknown etiology in patients from rural areas
