Amaç: Bu çalışma, kistik fibrozis (KF) tanısı konulan hastaların demografik özellikleri, başvuru kliniği ve tanıya yönelik testlerin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2005-Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında Dr. Sami Ulus Kadın Doğum, Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Pediatri kliniğine başvuran kistik fibrozisli 2 gün-4 ay yaş aralığındaki 41 hastanın demografik özellikleri, başvuru şikayeti, başvuru kliniği ve tanıya yönelik testleri incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların tanı anındaki yaş ortalaması 5.2 aydı. Hastaların %61.1’inde akrabalık öyküsü saptandı. Kistik fibrozis gen analizi yapılan hastaların %75’inde mutasyon saptandı. En sık başvuru şikayetini gastrointestinal sistem şikayetleri oluşturuyordu (%43.9). Gastrointestinal sistem tutulumu, solunum sistemi tutulumu (%31.7) ve Pseudobartter sendromu kliniği (%24.4) ile başvuran hastaların demografik özellikleri, tanı anındaki yaşları, şikayet süreleri, hastaneye yatış öyküleri, ter testi değerleri ve mutasyon analizleri arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Kistik fibrozis, solunum sistemi ve gastrointestinal sistemi ilgilendiren bulguların yanısıra Pseudobartter kliniğiyle de ortaya çıkabilen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Ülkemizde farklı genotipik özellikler nedeniyle kistik fibrozisin farklı klinik tablolarda başvurabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
Objective: This study was performed to examine the demographic characteristics, clinical features and diagnostic tests of children with the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Material and Methods: Presenting symptoms, complaints on admission, clinical features, and diagnostic tests for 41 children with cystic fibrosis between the age of 2 days and 4 months diagnosed at the Pediatrics clinic of Dr. Sami Ulus Maternity, Children Health and Diseases Training and Research Hospital between January 2005 and June 2012 were examined.Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 5.2 months. There was a history of consanguinity in 61.1% of cystic fibrosis patients. Mutation analysis revealed that 75% of the children had a cystic fibrosis mutation. Gastrointestinal complaints were the most common presenting complaint (43.9%). There was no statistically significant difference between demographic characteristics, age at diagnosis, duration of complaints, hospitalization frequency, sweat test values, and mutation analysis between children presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory tract symptoms (31.7%) and the Pseudo-Bartter clinical syndrome (24.4%).Conclusion: Cystic fibrosis is a multisystemic disease with findings related to the respiratory system and gastrointestinal system, and patients might present with the Pseudo-Bartter syndrome as well. It should be noted that cystic fibrosis can present with different clinical presentations due to the different genotypic features in our country

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 6 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.
