Amaç: Yenidoğan bebeklerin bakım ve tedavisindeki gelişmeler yaşam sürelerini artırmıştır. Düşük doğum ağırlıklı yenidoğan bebeklerin yaşam sürelerinin uzamasına paralel olarak nozokomiyal enfeksiyon sıklığıda artmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, Eylül 2003-Ağustos 2004 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde nozokomiyal Pseudomonas infeksiyonu gelişen olgular ve bu mikroorganizmaların antibiyotik duyarlılıkları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Bu dönemde yatırılan 978 hastanın 17’sin den alınan 146 kültürden 38’inde Pseudomonas spp üredi. Olguların postnatal yaş ortalaması 45.0±83.7 saatti. Onbir olgu (%64.7) preterm, 6’sı (%35.3) term bebekti. Ortalama gestasyon yaşı 33.2±4.9(26-37) hafta olarak bulundu. Ortalama doğum ağırlığı 1807.4±826.9 (1345-3200 gr) gramdı. Hastanede kalış süresi ortalama 43±31.5 gün idi. Üreme öncesi tüm vakalar antibiyotik almıştı. Pseudomonas suşlarının en fazla imipenem (%94) ve siprofloksasine (%86) duyarlı olduğu saptandı. Kültürlerin %82’si amikasin, %80’i piperasillin, %50’si netilmisine duyarlıydı.Sonuç: Uygun antibiyotik seçimi ve hijyen önlemleri ile nozokomiyal infeksiyonlarda başarılı olunacağı düşünüldü.
Aim: Improvement in the care and treatment of neonates has contributed to increased survival. In the last few years, nosocomial infection frequency has risen up owing to the increased survival rates in the neonates. Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively assessed the prevalence of Pseudomonas infection and antibiotic sensitivity of these microorganism in our neonatal intensive care unit between September 2003-August 2004. Results: A total of 978 neonates were hospitalized during this period. 146 cultures were collected from 17 patients and Pseudomonas was isolated in 38 of these cultures. Of these 17 patients, 11(64.7%) were premature and 6(35.3%) were mature.The average birth weight was 1807.47±826.9 g(1345-3200 gr), average gestational age was 33.2±4.9 weeks and average postnatal age was 45.05±83.7 hours. Mean hospitalization time was 43±31.5 days. Antibiotics were administered to all cases before Pseudomonas isolation. The best antimicrobial sensitivity was observed with Imıpenem (94%) and Ciprofloxacin (86%) which were the most effective antibiotics for Pseudomonas infections. Of this 38 cultures, 82% were sensitive to amicasin, 80% to piperasilin, 50% to netilmycin. Conclusion: Appropiate antibiotic selection and improvements in hygiene are required to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care unit

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.
