Amaç: Raynaud fenomeni (RF), vücudun uç kısımlarında solukluk, siyanoz ve kızarıklıkla karakterize vazospastik bir durumdur. Altta yatan yapısal bir vasküler hastalık veya kolajen doku hastalığı olup olmamasına göre birincil ve ikincil RF olarak sınıflanır. Çalışmada, RF tanısı ile takipli çocuk olgularımızın klinik, laboratuvar ve kapilleroskopik özelliklerini özetlemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 2014-2016 yılları arasında Hacettepe Üniversitesi Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı, Romatoloji Bilim Dalı’nda RF tanısı ile takip edilen 0-18 yaş arası 35 olgu dahil edildi.Bulgular: Hastaların 26’sında (%74.3) birincil; 9’unda (%25.7) ikincil RF saptandı. Kız/erkek oranı 1.7’di. Hastaların medyan (minimum-maksimum) tanı yaşı 13 (5.5-16)’tü. 19 hastada (%54.3) bifazik, 16 hastada ise (%45.7) trifazik Raynaud saptandı. İkincil Raynaud’lu olguların semptom başlangıç ve tanı yaşlarının daha erken olduğu (10 ve 10.5 yaşa karşı 13 ve 13.75 yaş), anti nükleer antikor ve ekstrakte edilebilir nükleer antijene karşı antikor pozitifliğinin daha sık olduğu (ANA için %55.6’ya karşı %15.4; ENA için %55.6’ya karşı %0), eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı yüksekliğinin daha sık (%77.8’e karşı %0), kapilleroskopide geniş kapil görülmesi durumunun daha sık (%66.7’ye karşı %19.2), olduğu görüldü (p<0.05).Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, RF’li olgularımızda daha çok birincil RF olduğunu gördük. İkincil RF’si olan olgularda ise hastalık daha erken dönemde belirti vermekteydi ve kapilleroskopide anormal bulgu oranı daha yüksekti. Ayrıca eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı ve bazı otoantikorların birincil ve ikincil RF’li olguları ayırmada yardımcı laboratuvar parametreler olduğu sonucuna ulaştık. Daha sonra yapılacak ileri dönük, çok merkezli çalışmalarla, bu hastalarda hastalığın gidişi ile ilgili daha çok bilgi edinilebilir ve hastaların daha etkin bir biçimde tedavi edilmesi mümkün olabilir.
Objective: Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is a vasospastic condition characterized by pallor, cyanosis, and erythema in the acral parts of body. It is classified as primary and secondary RP according to the presence or absence of underlying vascular or connective tissue disease. We aimed to summarize the clinical, and capillaroscopic characteristics of our patients. Material and Methods: Thirty-five pediatric patients with RP followed at the Departments of Pediatrics, Division of Rheumatology, Hacettepe University, between 2014-2016 were included in the study.Results: Twenty-six patients had primary and nine had secondary RP. The female/male ratio was 1.7. The median (min-max) age at diagnosis was 13 years. The pattern of RP was biphasic in 19 and triphasic in 16 patients. In patients with secondary RP, the age values at symptom onset and diagnosis were younger (10 vs. 10.5 years and 13 vs. 13.75 years, respectively) and antinuclear antibody, extracted nuclear antigen antibody positivity (55.6% vs 15.4% and 55.6% vs 0%, respectively), high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (77.8% vs 0%), and dilated capillaries on capillaroscopy were seen more frequently (66.7% vs 19.2%) when compared to primary RP patients.Conclusion: In this study, we found that primary RP was more common. The disease onset was earlier and abnormal findings on capillaroscopy was more common in secondary RP patients. In addition, we demonstrated that ESR and some autoantibodies could be useful laboratory parameters to distinguish between primary and secondary RP. Future multicenter studies could provide more information about the disease course and aid in treating these cases more effectively

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
