Abstract
Kuduz halen ülkemizde endemik olan önemli bir sağlık problemidir. Dokuz yaşındaki erkek hasta bilinç kaybı, solunum yetmezliği ve hipersalivasyon nedeni ile başvurdu. Hikayesinden hastanın yaklaşık bir hafta önce sol göz kapağından bir tilki tarafından ısırıldığı öğrenildi. Aynı gün kuduz aşısı ve immünglobulini uygulanan hastanın fizik muayenesinde ateşi 400C, kalp tepe atımı 160/dk, solunum hızı 20/dk, GKS 6 ve hipersalivasyonu mevcuttu. Ek olarak sol göz kapağında 3x4 cm çaplı sütüre lezyonu mevcut olan hastanın diğer sistem muayeneleri normal olarak değerlendirildi. Kuduz tanısına yönelik gönderilen serum, BOS, salya ve ense saç folikülü örneklerinden sadece ense saç folikülünde kuduz virüsüne ait viral RNA tespit edildi. Çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip edilen hasta yapılan tüm tedavilere rağmen genel durumu kötüleşerek kardiyorespiratuvar yetmezlik nedeni ile yatışının 5. gününde kaybedildi. Bu olgu vahşi hayvanlarla temas sonucu evcil hayvanlara geçerek büyük bir risk oluşturabilecek kuduz virüsünün tam eradikasyonunun sağlanması için vahşi hayvanlara da yönelik etkin immünizasyon programlarının tekrar gözden geçirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamak amacıyla sunulmuştur.

Abstract
Rabies is still an endemic public health problem in Turkey. A 9-year-old boy presented with fever, impaired consciousness, respiratory failure and hypersalivation. He had been bitten by a fox on the left eyelid one week ago. Rabies vaccine and hyperimmunoglobulin treatment were administered on the same day as the incident. Physical examination revealed hypersalivation, fever of 40 oC, heart rate 160 /min, respiratory rate 20/min and GCS of 6. There was also a sutured lesion 3x4 cm in diameter on the left eyelid because of the fox bite. Other system findings were normal. Serum, CSF, saliva and neck hair follicle samples were sent for the diagnosis of rabies but only scruff hair follicle impression smear was positive. The child was treated at the pediatric intensive care unit with supportive measures. His general condition deteriorated and he died due to cardiorespiratory failure and rabies encephalomyelitis on the 5th day. This case was presented to emphasize the need of a program that aims for complete eradication of the virus by active immunization of wild animals that may have contact with human and pets
