Brucellosıs In Childhood

Abstract

Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease for which our country is endemic. Humans are accidental hosts and B. melitensisis the most common species that cause the disease. Theorganism passes to humans by ingestion of infected meat, unpasteurized milk and milkproducts, contact with infected animal tissues through injured skin and mucosa, or inhalation of infected aerosols. Symptoms and signs are not pathognomonic. The mostfrequent symptoms are fever, arthralgia, malaise, and abdominal pain, while signs wereperipheral arthritis, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. Almost all organs have been re-ported to be involved. Serological tests are the most frequently used diagnostic methods in clinics. To demonstrate the microorganism via culture or molecular tests onblood, bone marrow, or other tissues are diagnostic. The relapse rate of the disease is high, so two of the antibiotics, doxycycline, rifampicin,streptomycin, gentamycin, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are used in combination in the treatment of uncomplicated brucellosis for at least 6 weeks. The duration ofthe treatment can be prolonged for 4-12 months for complicated infections. Rates of relapse and complication canbe reduced with the help of appropriate antibiotics with sufficient dosage and duration. Vaccination of animals, proper isolation of infected animals, and pasteurization of milkand milk products are the most important measures for protection from the disease.

Çocukluk Çağında Bruselloz

Year 2016, Volume: 8 Issue: 4, 23 - 26, 08.07.2016

Abstract

Öz

Bruselloz, ülkemizde endemik olarak görülen zoonotik bir hastalıktır. İnsanların rastlantısal konak olduğu hastalığa en sık neden olan tür B.melitensis’tir. Hastalık, duyarlı insanlara, enfekte hayvanların etlerinin, pastörize edilmemiş süt ve süt ürünlerinin tüketimi, enfekte hayvan dokularının tahriş olmuş cilt ya da mukozalara teması ya da enfekte aerosollerin inhalasyonu yoluyla bulaşır. Semptom ve bulgular patognomonik değildir. En sık karşılaşılan semptomlar ateş, artralji, halsizlik ve karın ağrısıdır. En sık klinik bulgularsa periferik artrit, splenomegali ve hepatomegalidir. Bunun dışında hastalığa ait hemen her organa ait tutulum bildirilmiştir. Klinikte en sık başvurulan tanı yöntemi serolojik testlerdir. Tanıda etkenin kan, kemik iliği veya diğer dokularda kültür ya da moleküler yöntemlerle gösterilmesi kesin tanı koydurucudur. Hastalığın relaps oranı yüksektir. Bu nedenle komplike olmayan brusellozun tedavisinde doksisiklin, rifampisin, streptomisin, gentamisin ve trimetoprim-sulfametaksozol ikili kombinasyonlar halinde en az 6 hafta süreyle kullanılır. Komplike enfeksiyonlarda ise tedavi süresi 4-12 ay arasında uzatılabilir. Uygun, yeterli doz ve sürede kullanılan antibiyotiklerle relaps ve komplikasyon oranları düşürülebilmektedir. Hayvanların aşılanması, enfekte hayvanlarda uygun izolasyonun sağlanması ve süt ve süt ürünlerinin pastörizasyonu hastalıktan korunmada en önemli uygulamalardır.
