Abstract

Amaç: Tonsillektomi çocuk yaş grubunda en sık yapılan ameliyatlardan birisidir. Actinomiçes türleri Gram-pozitif, spor oluşturmayan fakültatif anaerobik bakterilerdir. Aktinomikoz, subakuttan kronik enfeksiyona kadar apse oluşumu ile karakterize bir hastalıktır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2016 - Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde tonsillektomi uygulanan 185 hastanın tonsillektomi materyalleri ile çalıştık.

Bulgular: Tonsillektomi yapılan 98 (% 53) erkek ve 87 (% 47) kadın 185 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Ortalama yaş 12.6 (dağılım 3-56) idi. Toplam 64 hastada Actinomiçes varlığı gösterildi.

Sonuç: Actinomyces türleri bademcik dokusu florasında fırsatçı enfeksiyona neden olan bakterilerdir. Tonsiller Aktinomikoz kolonizasyonu yetişkinlerde ve büyük çocuklarda daha yaygındır.

Actinomyces in Tonsillectomy Materials

Abstract

Aim: Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries in the pediatric age group. Actinomyces species are Gram-positive, non-spore-forming facultative anaerobic bacteria. Actinomycosis is a disease characterized by abscess formation, ranging from subacute to chronic infection.

Materials and methods: We studied with the tonsillectomy materials of 185 patients who underwent tonsillectomy in our clinic between January 2016 and January 2019.

Results: A total of 185 patients, 98 (53%) males and 87 (47%) females, who underwent tonsillectomy were included in the study. The mean age was 12.6 (range, 3-56) years. A total of 64 patients showed the presence of Actinomyces.

Conclusion: Actinomyces species are bacteria found in the tonsil tissue flora that cause opportunistic infection. Tonsillar Actinomyces colonization is more common in adults and in older children.
