Çocukluk Çağında Nedeni Bilinmeyen Ateş

Abstract

Ateş, çocuk hekimlerine en sık başvuru nedenlerinden birisidir. Tıp alanındaki tüm gelişmelere rağmen halen %13–20 oranında nedeni bilinmeyen ateş (NBA), hekimleri en fazla uğraştıran ateş grubudur. Ateşin bir sağlık çalışanı tarafından saptanması koşuluyla, ayaktan izlenen hastalarda üç hafta, yatarak izlenen hastalarda bir haftalık değerlendirme sonrası odak bulunamaması, nedeni bilinmeyen ateş olarak tanımlanır. Tanının temeli, detaylı bir öykü ve fizik incelemeye dayanmaktadır. Yapılacak laboratuvar tetkikleri ise öykü ve fizik incelemeden elde edilecek sonuçlara göre planlanmalıdır.Nedeni bilinmeyen ateşli hastaya bir denklem çözer gibi yaklaşmak gerekir. Denklemin bilinmeyenleri olan öykü ve fizik incelemeden sağlanacak ipuçlarının yönlendirdiği, laboratuvar tetkiklerinden elde edilen verilerin doğru yorumlanması ile doğru tanıya ulaşmak olasıdır. Nedeni bilinmeyen ateşe neden olabilecek çok sayıda hastalık olması belli bir yaklaşım protokolü oluşturulmasını güçleştirdiğinden son yıllarda yapılmış NBA ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenerek çocuk hekimlerine yol gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
