ObjectiveInfluenza is an important public health problem.They cause severe acute respiratory tract infections,especially in children, people with chronic diseases andimmunosuppressed individuals. The aim of the studywas to evaluate the frequency of Influenza cases andthe clinical findings of the patients before the Covid-19pandemic and during the pandemic period.Material and MethodsPatients aged 0-18 years, who applied to AtlasUniversity Medical Faculty Pediatric Emergency andGeneral Pediatric Polyclinics between 01.03.2019and 11.03.2021 and were diagnosed with influenza,were included in the study. The clinical features ofthe patients, the rate of hospitalization, complications,the frequency before and during the pandemic,distribution by months were examined.Results55.6% (n=594) of the cases were male and 44.4%(n=475) were female. The study was completed witha total of 1069 patients. As a result of the study, themost common symptoms were fever (96.5%), cough(51%), fatigue (42%) and nasal discharge (30.8%).93.2% of the patients belonged to the pre-Covid-19pandemic period. It was determined that influenzavirus peaked in January and influenza B type wasseen more frequently during the Covid-19 pandemicperiod.ConclusionAs a result, it was seen that Influenza decreased withthe measures taken since the first Covid-19 case wasseen.

Amaçİnfluenza önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Özellikleçocuklarda, kronik hastalıkları bulunan ve bağışıklığıbaskılanmış kişilerde ciddi akut solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarınasebep olurlar. Çalışmada çocuk hastalardaCovid-19 pandemi öncesi ve pandemi döneminde İnfluenzavakalarının sıklığı ve hastaların klinik bulgularınındeğerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve YöntemÇalışmaya, 01.03.2019-11.03.2021 tarihleri arasındaAtlas Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Acil ve GenelÇocuk Poliklinikleri'ne başvuran ve İnflueanza tanısıalan 0-18 yaş arasındaki hastalar dahil edildi. Hastalarınklinik özellikleri, yatış oranı, komplikasyonlar,pandemi öncesi ve pandemi dönemindeki sıklığı aylaragöre dağılımı incelendi.BulgularOlguların %55.6’sı (n=594) erkek, %44.4'ü (n=475)kız idi. Çalışma toplamda 1069 hasta ile tamamlandı.Çalışma sonucunda en fazla görülen semptomlarsırasıyla ateş (%96.5), öksürük (%51), halsizlik (%42)ve burun akıntısı (%30.8) idi. Hastaların %93.2’si Covid-19 pandemi öncesi döneme aitti. İnfluenza virusununOcak ayında pik yaptığı ve Covid-19 pandemisürecinde İnfluenza B tipinin daha sık görüldüğü saptandı.SonuçSonuç olarak, ilk Covid-19 vakasının görüldüğü tarihtenitibaren alınan tedbirlerle İnfluenza’nın azaldığıgörüldü.
