Abstract
Giriş ve Amaç: Tanı konulmasında zorluk yaşanan hastalarda konsültasyonlar, doktorlar arasında doğru tanı ve uygun tedavi için gerekli bir gereç olmaya devam etmektedir. Materyal-Method: 1 Eylül 2008 ve 31 Ağustos 2009 tarihleri arasında Pediatrik Allerji Kliniğimize konsülte edilen toplam 1019 hastanın hastane kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Yaşları 3 ay ile 18 yaş arasında değişen toplam 1019 hastanın konsültasyon bilgileri gözden geçirildi. Bunların 635’i (%62.3) erkekti. Konsültasyonların %71.8’i pediatri kliniklerinden, %15’i yan dal kliniklerinden, %6.4’i dermatoloji polikliniğinden, %3.8’i acil polikliniğinden ve %3’ü cerrahi kliniğinden istenmişti. Konsültasyonların en sık istenme nedenleri ise %22.3’ünde kronik öksürük, %17.6 astım, %11.3 hışıltılı infant, %10 ürtiker/anjioödem, %8.6 atopik egzema, %6.9 allerjik rinit ve %6.5 döküntü/kaşıntı idi. Kliniğimizde konulan allerjik tanılar ise astım %31.8, rinit %15.4, hışıltılı infant %12, ürtiker/anjioödem %11.7, atopik egzema %9.9 ve ilaç reaksiyonu %4.3 idi. Hastanın hastaneye ilk başvurusu ile konsültasyon istenme süresi 2 dakika ile 15 gün arasında değişmekte olup ortalama 4 saatti. Konsültasyonların cevaplanma süresi ise 1 dakika ile 2 gün arasında değişiyordu (ortalama 55 dakika). Sonuç: Konsültasyonlar yanlış tanı konulmasının önlenmesi, tanı doğruluğunun pekiştirilmesi ve hastalığın uygun şekilde yönetilmesi için önemlidir. Bu sebeple, bizim bu çalışmada pediatrik tecrübelerimiz hakkında verdiğimiz bilgilerin hem allerjistler hem de konsültan hekimler için değerli ve yararlı olacağını umuyoruz.

Abstract
Aim: Consultation among physicians remains an essential component of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of a patient having diagnostic problems. Methods: A retrospective review of hospital records was conducted in a total of 1019 patients consulted at pediatric allergy clinic between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009. Results: A total of 1019 allergy consults whose ages ranged from 3 months to 18 years old were reviewed. Among these consultations; 635 (62.3%) were boys. Consultations were requested by clinics of pediatrics (71.8%), subbranch clinics (15%), dermatology (6.4%), emergency service (3.8%), and surgery (3%). The most common reasons for consultation included chronic cough (22.3%), asthma (17.6%), wheezing (11.3%), urticaria/angioedema (10%), atopic eczema (8.6%), allergic rhinitis (6.9%), and eruption/itching (6.5%). The diagnosis of allergic disorders in our clinic were asthma (31.8%), rhinitis (15.4%), wheezy infant (12%), urticaria/angioedema (11.7%), atopic eczema (9.9%), and adverse drug reaction (4.3%). Elapsed time between patient’s first referral to our hospital and his/her consultation was ranged from 2 minutes to 15 days, with a mean duration of 4 hours. Response time to consultations differed from 1 minute to 2 days (mean duration: 55 minutes). Conclusions: Consultation is crucial in preventing misdiagnosis, improving the accuracy of diagnosis, and the appropriate management of diseases. Therefore, we hope the information about pediatric experience given in this study could be valuable and very useful for both the allergists as consultant and other counseling physicians
