Giriş ve amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, adenoid hipertrofisi tespit edilen çocuklarda semptomların ve immünglobulin düzeylerinin belirlenmesi.Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya, 4-15 yaş arası adenoid hipertrofisi tespit edilen 25 hasta alındı. Adenoid hipertrofisini düşündüren semptomlar belirlendi ve her vakanın lateral yan kafa grafisi çekilerek adenoid/nazofarenks oranı yüzde olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların serum immünglobulin düzeyleri belirlendi.Bulgular: 2 vakada uyku apnesi saptanırken 8 vakada seröz otit veya sık otit geçirme öyküsü vardı. Tüm vakalarda gece ağzı açık uyuma ve sık üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçirme öyküsü saptandı. 12 vakada immünglobulin düzeylerinde düşüklük tespit edilirken 3 vakanın IgE değerlerinde yükseklik saptandı.Sonuçlar: Adenoid hipertrofisi tespit edilen vakaların, olası bir immünglobulin düşüklüğü nedeniyle tedavi öncesinde serum değerleri kontrol edilmeli ve tedavi planı buna göre düzenlenmelidir.
Introduction and aim: The aim of the study is to determine the serum immunuglobulin levels and symptoms in the patients with adenoidal hypertrophy.Materials and methods: The study was included 25 patients between 4-15 ages who were detected adenoidal hypertrophy. The symtoms associated with adenoidal hypertrophy were determinated and the lateral head radiography was obtained from each patient to calculate the adenoid/nasopharyngeal ratio. The immunoglobulin levels of the patients were analyzed Results: Sleep apnea was confirmed in 2 cases, while histories of serous otitis or recurrent otitis were determined in 8 patients. The histories of open-mouth sleeping and recurrent upper-airway infectious were obtained in all patients. Decreased serum immonoglobulin levels were detected in 12 patients while elevated IgE levels were determined in 3 patients. Conclusion: In the cases that adenoidal hypertrophy was detected, because of the probable immunoglobulin lowness, serum immunoglobulin levels must be evaluated before the treatment and than the treatment strategies should be prepared

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.

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.
