Uzamış nötropenili COVID-19 vakası

Öz

Bu yazıda sağlıklı bir erişkinde COVID-19 enfeksiyonu sırasında gelişen ve yaklaşık 1,5 ay devam eden nötropeni tablosunun takip ve tedavi sürecini sunuyoruz. Halsizlik ve eklem ağrısı şikayeti ile başvurusunda pcr pozitifliği ve laboratuvar incelemesinde nötropeni, lenfopeni saptanması ile COVID-19 tedavisi devam ederken nötropeni için ek medikal tedavi verilmesi açısından değerlendirilen hastaya sekonder enfeksiyonların gelişimini önlemek amacıyla G-CSF tedavisi başlandı. Yaklaşık 1,5 ay devam eden nötropeni durumu 1,5 ayın sonunda tamamen normale döndüğü görüldü. Sağlıklı erişkinde COVID-19 enfeksiyonuna sekonder nötropeni görülebilmektedir ve tedavide G-CSF kullanımının yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

COVID-19 case with prolonged neutropenia

Öz

In this article, we present the follow-up and treatment process of neutropenia, which develops during COVID-19 infection in a healthy adult and lasts for approximately 45 days. When the patient applied with the complaints of weakness and joint pain, the PCR test was positive and neutropenia and lymphopenia were detected in the laboratory examination. Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) treatment was started in order to prevent the development of secondary infection to the patient, who was evaluated for additional medical treatment for neutropenia while the COVID-19 treatment was continuing. However, it was observed that neutropenia returned to normal after 1.5 months. Neutropenia secondary to COVID-19 infection can be seen in healthy adults and it is thought that the use of G-CSF in the treatment will be beneficial.
