Amaç: Eozinopeni ve enfeksiyon ilişkisi daha önce tarif edilmiş ancak hala tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Çalışmada bakteriyel enfeksiyonu olan hastalarda eozinofil sayısının tanısal değerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Çocuk Hastalıkları ve Cerrahisi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Ocak 2013 – Mart 2014 tarihleri arasında büyük çocuk servisinde yatarak izlenmiş ve alınan kan, idrar ve diğer (abse, balgam, gaita, torasentez sıvısı, eklem sıvısı) kültürlerinde bakteri üremesi saptanan 55 olgunun beyaz küre sayısı, mutlak nötrofil sayısı, C-reaktif protein ve mutlak eozinofil sayısı kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Kontrol grubu olarak büyük çocuk polikliniğine preoperatif tetkik için başvuran sağlıklı 55 çocuk alınmıştır.Bulgular: Beyaz küre sayısı, mutlak nötrofil sayısı ve C-reaktif protein değerlerinin bakteriyel enfeksiyonlu çocuklarda sağlıklı çocuklara göre anlamlı ölçüde yüksek olduğu, mutlak eozinofil sayısının ise düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. ROC analizi yapıldığında mutlak eozinofil sayısının diğer parametrelere kıyasla bakteriyel enfeksiyonu ayırmada en yüksek duyarlığa sahip olduğu ancak duyarlılıklar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadığı görülmüştür.Sonuç: Mutlak eozinofil sayısının diğer parametrelere kıyasla bakteriyel enfeksiyonu ayırmada en yüksek duyarlığa sahip olduğu görülmüş, bundan dolayı mutlak eozinofil sayısının 100/mm³’ün altında olmasının bakteriyel enfeksiyonun tanısında kullanışlı bir belirteç olabileceği düşünülmüştür.
Objective: The relationship between eosinopenia and infection was previously described, but is still not fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of eosinophil counts in patients with bacterial infection.Material and Methods: We compared white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, and absolute eosinophil count values of 55 inpatients at Izmir Dr. Behçet Uz Children’s Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital between January 2013 and March 2014 who had bacterial growth in blood, urine or other (abscess, sputum, gaita, thoracentesis fluid, joint fluid) cultures with the control group.results: The white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count and C-reactive protein values in children with bacterial infection were significantly higher than in healthy children, while the absolute eosinophil count was lower. ROC analysis revealed that the absolute eosinophil count had the highest sensitivity in differentiating bacterial infection compared to the other parameters.conclusion: Absolute eosinophil count has been shown to have the highest sensitivity compared to other parameters in the differentiation of bacterial infections. An absolute eosinophil count below 100/mm³ can be a useful marker in the diagnosis of bacterial infection

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.
