Amaç: Kliniğimize kuduz riskli temas sonrası başvuran çocuk olguların epidemiyolojik verilerinin ve temas sonrası profilaksi uygulamalarının gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2015- Aralık 2017 arasında kliniğimize başvuran kuduz riskli temaslı olguların retrospektif kayıtları incelendi.Bulgular: Kuduz riskli temas ile başvuran toplam 162 çocuk olgunun ortalama yaşları 9±4.8 yıl olup en sık temas %66.1 oranında erkek çocuktu. Kuduz riskli hayvan türü en sık %53.1 ile kedi olup aşılı hayvan yüzdesi %14.8’di. Temaslı kategorisi %61.1 kategori III, %38.9 kategori II’di. %59.3 üst ekstremite, %21 baş-boyun ve %19.8 alt ekstremite en sık kuduz riskli temas bölgeleriydi. Olguların %66.7’sinde temas çıplak deriden olup başvuru sırasında tüm olguların %86’sında yara bakımı yapılmadan merkezimize başvurmuştu. Yara bakımı yapılanların %79.3’ünde yalnızca antiseptik solüsyon ile yara bakımı yapıldığı öğrenildi. Kuduz aşılama oranı %95.1, immünoglobülin uygulanma oranları ise %46.9’di.Sonuç: Kuduz riskli hayvan ısırıkları fatalite oranı çok yüksek olduğundan temas sonrası profilaksi uygun ve zamanında yapıldığında %100 koruyucudur. Toplumun ve sağlık personelinin eğitimi kuduz riskini önlemede en önemli adımdır.
Objective: The aim of the study was to assess epidemiological and anti-rabies vaccination status in children in our hospital.Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of the patients who presented to our clinic with complaint of animal bite between January 2015 and December 2017.Results: A total of 162 children presenting with animal bites were included in this study. The mean age was 9±4.8 years and 66.1% of the patients were boys. Most (53.1%) of the patients were injured by cats and 14.8% of the animals were vaccinated. In the study group, 61.1% of the patients had category III contact and 38.9% had category II contact. The wound was in the upper limbs in 59.3% of the patients, the head and neck in 21% and the lower limbs in 19.8%. Lesions were on the bare skin in 66.7% of the cases and 86% of the patients presented to our clinic without previous wound care. Only an antiseptic solution was used in 79.3% of the patients who had received wound care before admission. The vaccination rate was 95.1% and human rabies immune globulin was used in 46.9% of the patients.Conclusion: The outcome of an animal bite can be fatal. The only preventive and curative measures are anti-rabies vaccination and the use of human rabies immunoglobulin. Education of the population and health professionals is therefore crucial to ensure 100% compliance with appropriate management
