Amaç: Tüberkülozlu olguların epidemiyolojik, klinik, radyolojik, mikrobiyolojik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, tedavi sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi ve bu özelliklerin tüberküloz evreleri ile ilişkisinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: İntaniye Polikliniğinde Mayıs 2006- Mayıs 2007 tarihleri arasında temaslı, latent ve aktif evre tüberküloz tanılarıyla takip edilen hastaların şikayetleri, fizik muayene bulguları, tanı sırasında kullanılan yöntemler, Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) ile aşılanma durumları, tedavi seçenekleri ve komplikasyonları geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışmamıza temaslı, latent ve aktif tüberküloz evresindeki toplam 418 olgu alındı. Yaş ortalamaları 7.9 ± 3.7 yıl olan olguların 217’si kız (%52)’dı. Olguların 20’si (%4.8) temas, 322’si (%76.7) latent enfeksiyon (LE), 76’sı (%18.1) aktif hastalık (AH) evresindeydi. Aktif hastalığın daha çok 5 yaş altında, latent enfeksiyonun ise 5 yaş üstünde olduğu görüldü (p:0.04). Hastaneye başvuru sebebi latent enfeksiyonlu olgularda en sık nonproduktif öksürük (%38.7) iken aktif hastalık grubunda prodüktif öksürük ve gece terlemesi (%25)’di (p:0.01). Aktif hastalığı olan 76 hastanın 55’inde (%72) akciğer parankiminde tutulum mevcuttu. İkinci sırada olan tutulum yeri ise 10 (%13) olguda görülen lenf nodu tutulumuydu. BCG ile aşılanma sıklığı %91 olarak tespit edildi. BCG skar sayısı artıkça aktif hastalık gelişmesi oranı anlamlı derecede düşmekteydi. BCG skarı olmayanların %47.4’ü, bir adet BCG skarı olanların %20’i ve 2 adet BCG skarı olanların %9’u aktif hastalık evresinde tespit edildi (p:0.01). Çalışmaya dahil edilen tüm olguların tüberkülin deri testi olan Pürified Protein Derivative (PPD) pozitifliği %85 olarak tespit edildi. En sık rastlanan radyolojik bulgular bronkopnömonik infiltrasyon (LE:%4.7, AH:%28.9), perihiler lenf nodu (LE:%4.7; AH:%19.9) ve atelektazi (LE:%4.7; AH:%11.8)’di. Çalışmamızda sadece 3 hastamıza bağlı oldukları Verem Savaş Dispanseri (VSD) tarafından doğrudan gözetimli tedavi (DGT) uygulanmaktaydı. Tedavi sırasında olgularımızın 18’inde (%4.3) aspartat aminotransferaz (SGOT) ve alanin aminotransferaz (SGPT) enzim değerlerinde kullanılan ilaç sayısı ile orantılı olarak artış tespit edildi. İzoniazid (INH) profilaksisini 10 mg/kg’dan (maks 300mg/gün) alan 3 hastada cilt reaksiyonu gelişti. Olguların %90’ı tedavilerini tamamlamıştı geri kalan %10 ise takiplere hiç gelmemişti.Sonuç: Önemli bir birey ve halk sağlığı sorunu olan tüberküloz ile mücadele için çocuk ve erişkin tüm tüberkülozlu hastaların tek merkezden takip ve tedavilerinin yapılması etkin bir yol olarak görülmektedir.
Objective: Our aim was to determine the epidemiological, clinical, radiological, microbiological properties and the treatment results of cases with tuberculosis and the relationship of these properties with disease stages.Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with latent and active tuberculosis and children who had contacted an adult tuberculosis case and had been followed up by the infectious diseases department of our hospital between May 2006 and May 2007 were included in the study. All were evaluated retrospectively for their complaints, physical examination findings, laboratory findings, BCG vaccination situation, treatment modalities and complications due to the treatment. results: A total of 418 cases were included in our study. The mean age was 7.9 ± 3.7 years and 217 (52%) were female. Cases were grouped as contact (n: 20, 4.8%), latent infection (n: 322, 76.7%) and active disease (n: 76, 18.1%). It was demonstrated that active disease was usually seen in cases younger than 5 years old and latent infection in cases greater than 5 years old (p:0.04). The main complaint was nonproductive cough (38.7%) in the latent group and secretory cough with night sweating (25%) in the active group (p:0.01). There was pulmonary involvement in 55 (72%) of the active cases. The second most common location of the disease was the lymph nodes (13%). The BCG vaccination rate was 91%. The occurrence of active disease was decreased significantly as the number of BCG scars increased. The PPD test was positive in 85% of the cases. The most common findings on chest x-rays were bronchopneumonic infiltration (LI: 4.7%, AD: 28.9%), peribronchial lymphadenopathy (LI: 4.7%; AD: 19.9%) and atelectasis (LI: 4.7%; AD: 11.8%). Only 3 cases received directly observed treatment (DOT). During the treatment, 18 (4.3%) cases had a complication such as increased levels of AST and ALT and 3 cases had allergic skin reactions due to INH. The treatment of 90% of cases was completed whereas 10% of cases did not come for follow-up.conclusion: To fight tuberculosis, which is an important person and community health problem, all child and adult patients should be treated and followed up at a single center organised for this aim

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.
