Abstract

ÖZET
Amaç: Yenidoğanlarda mikrometod sedimantasyon hızının sedimantasyon hızı ile korele olduğu bildirilmiştir. Çalışmalar özellikle yenidoğan enfeksiyonlarında çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bazı çalışmalarda yenidoğanlarda sepsis taramalarında ve enfeskiyon varlığında daha değerli olduğu gösterilmiştir. Kolay, hızlı ve ekonomik bir yöntem olması nedeni ile, infeksiyonlarda mikrometod sedimantasyon hızının tanısal değerini ve diğer akut faz reaksiyon parametreleri ilişkilerini araştırmak amacı ile yapıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp fakültesi Pediatri AD na başvuran 31 hasta ve 24 sağlıklı çocuk çalışmaya alındı. Hasta grbununun 14'ünde alt solunum enfeksiyonu, 8'inde üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu 6'sında idrar yolu enfeksiyonu ve 3'ünde gastroentestinal enfeksiyon vardı. Kontrol grubunun akut veya kronik enfeksiyonu ve ilaç kullanım öyküsü yoktu. Her iki grupta mikrosedimantasyon yanında, beyaz küre sayımı, sedimantasyon,CRP ve fibrinojen değerlerine bakıldı.
Bulgular: Her iki grup arasında yaş (p=0.59) ve cinsiyet (p=0.18). yönünden istatistiksel olarak fark yoktu. Sedimantasyon hızı kontrol grubunda 11.755.87 mm/h (4-24) iken hasta grubunda 59.4826.42 mm/h (10-109) bulundu (p<0.01). Mikrosedimantasyon hızı kontrol grubunda 14.08±5.35 mm/h (4-24) iken hasta grubunda 32±11.31 (12-60) mm/h bulundu (p<0.01). Hasta grubunda beyaz küre sayımı, sedimantasyon hızı, CRP ve fibrinojen değerleri yüksekliği yanında mikrosedimantasyon hızı anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p<0.01).
Sonuç olarak; Birkaç çalışmada mikrosedimantasyon hızının makrosedimantasyondan anlamlı olarak bulunduğu fakat klinik düzeyde değerli olmadığı belirtilmiştir. Çalışmamızda ise, hasta ve kontrol grubunda mikrosedimantasyon hızı da sedimantasyon hızı kadar hassas ve özgündü. Mikrosedimantasyon hızının intarvenöz işlem gerekmeden daha basit ve hızlı olması nedeni ile daha kullanışlı olduğuna inanıyoruz .

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Micromethod erythrocyte sedimentation rate (MESR) correlates classic Westergren method in newborn. In literature, MESR or microsedimentation rate has been studied especially newborn infections. Some of them showed that this test is more valuable in the sepsis screening and predicting the presence of infection in neonates .To investigate diagnostic evaluation of MESR in infections as its fast, easy, economic method and the relation between other acute phase reactant parameters.
Material and Methods: A total 31 patient and 24 healthy children were admitted in this study in Suleyman Demirel University Medical Faculty Department of Pediatric. The patient group had various infections included 14 lower respiratory tract infection, 8 upper respiratory tract infection, 6 urinary tract infection, 3 gastrointestinal infection. The control group had no acute or chronic infections, no history taken any drugs. We performed same tests (Westergren sedimentation and MESR, CRP, WBC, fibrinogen) into two groups. There is no statistical significant between two groups as age and sex.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference of age (p=0.59) and sex (p=0.18). between two groups. Sedimentation was 11.755.87 mm/h (4-24) in control group, 59.4826.42 mm/h (10-109) in patient group (p<0.01). MSER was 14.08±5.35 mm/h (4-24) in control group, 32±11.31 (12-60) mm/h in patient group (p<0.01). Mean of sedimentation rate, MESR, CRP, WBC, and fibrinogen were significantly higher in patient group(p<0.01).
Conclusion: In several studies, the MESR values higher than the macromethod at values but this difference is not of sufficient magnitude at the clinical decision level . In our study, MESR was as sensitive and specific as erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the patient group than control group. Also, MESR is more practical as it is a simple and quick test which does not need venous sample.
