Familyal veya primer hemofagositik lenfohistiositozis (FHLH) nadir görülen otozomal resesif geçişli genetik bir hastalıktır. FHLH genellikle infant döneminde tanı almakta, ateş, hepatosplenomegali, pansitopeni ve daha az sıklıkta santral sinir sistemi tutulumu ile karakterizedir. Hastalığın kesin tanısı hastalığa neden olan mutasyonun gösterilmesi ile konur. FHLH ile ilgili bilinen genetik mutasyonlar; perforin (PRF1; FHLH 2), UNC13D (FHLH 3), syntaxin 11 (STX11; FHLH 4), syntaxinbinding protein 2 (STXBP2; FHLH 5) ve bilinmeyen 9q21.3-q22 (FHLH 1) kromozomunda lokalize gen mutasyonlarıdır. STXBP2 (FHLH 5) mutasyonu infant döneminde sıklıkla gastroenterit sonrası görülen genellikle kötü seyirli bir HLH tipidir. Biz de kliniğimize akut hepatit tablosu ile başvuran ve HLH tanı kriterlerini sağlayan, HLH 2004 tedavi protokolü sonrası ishal ve SSS tutulum bulguları ile nüks izlenen altı aylık bir infantı yeni birleşik heterozigot STXBP2 mutasyonu saptanması nedeniyle sunduk.
Familial or primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) is a rare genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. FHLH is usually diagnosed during infancy and it is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia and less often involvement of the central nervous system. One of the diagnostic criteria is demonstrating a previously known mutation. Known gene mutations related to FHLH are perforin (PRF1; FHLH 2), UNC13D (FHLH 3), syntaxin 11 (STX11; FHLH 4), syntaxin-binding protein 2 (STXBP2; FHLH 5) and unknown gene mutations localized on chromosome 9q21.3-q22 (FHLH 1). The STXBP-2 (FHLH 5) mutation is a poor prognosis HLH type frequently seen in infants after gastroenteritis. We detected a novel compound heterozygous STXBP2 mutation in a six-month-old infant presenting with acute hepatitis and meeting the HLH diagnostic criteria and who developed reactivation with diarrhea and CNS involvement findings after the HLH 2004 treatment protocol was used

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.
