Giriş:
Kistik fibrozis (KF), yaşam
kalitesini ve süresini olumsuz yönde etkileyen kalıtsal bir hastalıktır. Ülkemizde
yenidoğan taraması topuk kanında bakılan immün reaktif tripsinojen (IRT) düzeyi
yüksek bulunan bebeklerde ter testi (TT) yapılarak uygulanmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada ulusal yenidoğan taraması nedeniyle merkezimize yönlendirilen
bebeklerin TT yapılma ve değerlendirilme sürecinde elde ettiğimiz verileri
sunmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve yöntemler:
Bu retrospektif çalışmada Ocak 2015 -
Ocak 2019 arasında merkezimize KF yenidoğan tarama testi pozitifliği nedeniyle
yönlendirilen bebeklerin klinik verileri, TT ve kistik fibrozis transmembran regülatör (KFTR)
geni mutasyon analizi sonuçları araştırıldı. Terde klor testi (TKT) <30 mmol/L
olanlar normal, 30-59 mmol/L olanlar şüpheli yüksek, ≥60 mmol/L olanlar yüksek
olarak değerlendirildi. İlk TKT’de yetersiz ter elde edilmesine veya geçersiz sonuca (TKT<10 mmol/L)
rağmen ikinci TT yapılamayan bebekler çalışmaya dahil edilmedi.
Bulgular:
Çalışma
grubunu toplam 184 bebek [kız/erkek 113/71 (%61,4/%38,6)] oluşturdu. Başvuru süreleri ortancası postnatal 26 (9-98) gün, ortalama
gestasyon haftası 39±1,75 hafta, ortalama doğum ağırlıkları 3300±432 gr idi. Tamamı
ilk dışkısını ilk 48 saat içinde yapmıştı. Beşinde (%3,6) uzamış sarılık, ikisinde
(%1,4) yenidoğan pnömonisi vardı. Yedi bebeğin (%5) kilo alımı yetersizdi.
Fizik incelemede KF bulgusu olan bebek yoktu. Toplam 153 bebeğin (%83,1) ilk TKT sonucu
normal, birinin (%0,5) yüksek, dokuzunun (%4,9) şüpheli yüksekti. Otuzbir
hastada TKT geçersiz sonuç, yetersiz ter miktarı, yüksek/şüpheli yüksek sonuç
nedeniyle tekrarlandı. Sonuç olarak 178 bebeğin (%96,7) TKT sonucu normaldi. Altı
bebeğin (%3,3) ikinci TKT yüksek (n=2)/şüpheli yüksekti (n=4). KFTR mutasyon
analizinde bir bebekte F508 homozigot delesyonu, üç bebekte 5T/7T/9T
polimorfizmi saptandı. Bu bebeklerin üçüne tedavi başlanıldı, üçü tedavisiz
izleme alındı.
Tartışma:
KF hastalarını erken dönemde saptayıp
tedavilerine başlanmasını sağlayarak mortalite ve morbiditede azalma sağlaması
beklenen yenidoğan taraması bunu ancak standardize TT uygulanması ve sonuçların
dikkatli yorumlanması ile sağlayabilecektir. TT uygulayan merkezlerin TT
yöntemlerini ve sonuçlarını içeren verileri paylaşması sistemin otokontrolünü
sağlamak açısından önemlidir.
Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder which has negative impact on life span and quality. Newborn
screening (NBS) is carried out by sweat chloride test (SCT) in babies with high immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) values.
We aimed to present our data consisting of application and evaluation of sweat chloride test in babies referred to our
center with two elevated IRT levels following national NBS.
Material and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated clinical data, sweat chloride test and CF transmembrane
regulator (CFTR) gene mutation analysis results of referred infants due to positive CF NBS between January 2015–
January 2019. Sweat chloride test results were interpreted as normal (<30mmol/L), intermediate (30-59 mmol/L) or high
(≥60mmol/L). Infants missing a second test despite an initial invalid result (<10 mmol/L) or inadequate sweat collection
were not included.
Results: The study group consisted of 184 infants of female/male ratio as 113/71(61.4/38.6%). The median admission
time was postnatal 26 (9-98) days. The mean gestational week was 39 ± 1.75 weeks and mean birth weight was 3300
± 432 grams. All infants passed their first stool in 48 hours at most. Five infants (3.6%) faced prolonged jaundice and
two (1.4%) had neonatal pneumonia. Weight gain was insufficient in seven (5%) infants. No infant showed physical
examination findings consistent with CF. First SCT was normal (n=153, 83.1%), intermediate (n=9, 4.9%) or high (n=1,
0.5%). Thirty-one infants had the second test because of inadequate sweat collection, invalid or high/intermediate
range initial result. Consequently, 178 infants (96.7%) reflected normal results. Repeated SCT was high (n=2, 1.1%)/
intermediate (n=4, 2.2%) in six (3.3%) infants. CFTR mutation analysis revealed one homozygote F508 deletion and
three 5T/7T/9T polymorphisms. Three patients received treatment while three were conservatively followed-up.
Conclusion: NBS can provide early diagnosis of patients with CF if standardized implementation and careful interpretation
of sweat chloride test are achieved. Sharing of data by centers performing sweat chloride test is extremely important for the assurance of interoperability of the system.

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.
