Year 2015, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 103 - 105, 01.06.2015

Abstract

Mersin Devlet Hastanesi Dermatoloji Kliniğine Şubat 2013 tarihinde, 30 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta, burun sırtı, sol kol ve sol kulak memesi olmak üzere üç ayrı vücut bölgesinde bulunan yara şikayeti ile başvurdu. Hastanın gübre çuvalı taşıdığı, yaraların 3 aydır mevcut olduğu anamnezinde kaydedildi. Kutanöz leishmaniasis ön tanısı konan hastanın burun sırtındaki, sol kol ve kulak memesindeki eritemli, ödemli plak tarzındaki lezyonlu deriye biyopsi yapıldı. Biyopsi materyalinden hazırlanan Giemsa boyalı yaymaların mikroskopik incelemesinde, hem ekstrasellüler, hemde intrasellüler yerleşimli amastigot formlar tespit edildi. Hastanın tedavisi için glucantime (1.5 gr/5 ml) küçük lezyonların çevresine 0.40 ml, büyük lezyonların çevresine 1 ml olmak üzere 2 gün ara ile 2 kez enjekte edildi. Bu çalışmada, Mersin’de tespit edilen endemik bölge dışı kutanöz leishmaniazis olgusu değerlendirildi.
