Mezenterik Lenfadenite Bağlı İnvaginasyon ile Başvuran Glandüler Tularemi Olgusu

Abstract

Tularemi Francisella tularensis’in neden olduğu bakteriyel bir zoonozdur. Türkiye’deki tularemi olgularının büyük kısmı orofaringeal formdur, daha nadir glandüler form da raporlanmıştır. Bu yazıda, mezenterik lenfadenite bağlı intestinal invajinasyon geliştiren, glandüler tularemi tanısı alan 4 yaşında erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Literatürde tularemiye bağlı mezenterik lenfadenit ile ilgili az sayıda rapor mevcuttur. Bununla birlikte invaginasyon bildirilmemiştir. İlk olması nedeniyle olgumuz sunulmaya değer bulunmuştur.

A Case of Glandular Tularemia Presenting with Invagination due to Mesenteric Lymphadenitis

Abstract

Tularemia is zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis. Most of the cases in Turkey are the oropharyngeal form but a few cases of glandular tularemia have been reported. We present a 4-year-old patient with intestinal invagination caused by mesenteric adenitis due to glandular tularemia. There are a few reports on mesenteric adenitis due to tularemia but none had invagination. We felt our case deserved to be presented as it is the first such case
