Yıl 2009, Cilt: 3 Sayı: 4, 57 - 61, 01.04.2009

Ateş, çocuk hekimlerine en sık başvuru nedenlerinden birisidir. Tıp alanındaki tüm gelişmelere rağmen halen %13–20 oranında nedeni bilinmeyen ateş (NBA), hekimleri en fazla uğraştıran ateş grubudur. Ateşin bir sağlık çalışanı tarafından saptanması koşuluyla, ayaktan izlenen hastalarda üç hafta, yatarak izlenen hastalarda bir haftalık değerlendirme sonrası odak bulunamaması, nedeni bilinmeyen ateş olarak tanımlanır. Tanının temeli, detaylı bir öykü ve fizik incelemeye dayanmaktadır. Yapılacak laboratuvar tetkikleri ise öykü ve fizik incelemeden elde edilecek sonuçlara göre planlanmalıdır.Nedeni bilinmeyen ateşli hastaya bir denklem çözer gibi yaklaşmak gerekir. Denklemin bilinmeyenleri olan öykü ve fizik incelemeden sağlanacak ipuçlarının yönlendirdiği, laboratuvar tetkiklerinden elde edilen verilerin doğru yorumlanması ile doğru tanıya ulaşmak olasıdır. Nedeni bilinmeyen ateşe neden olabilecek çok sayıda hastalık olması belli bir yaklaşım protokolü oluşturulmasını güçleştirdiğinden son yıllarda yapılmış NBA ile ilgili çalışmalar incelenerek çocuk hekimlerine yol gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

FEVER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN DURING CHILDHOOD

Fever is one of the most common complaints that is consulted to the pediatricians. Despite the progress in medicine, the cause in 13–20 percent of fever in childhood is still unknown and is referred to fever of unknown origin (FUO). By definition to be called as FUO, fever should be documented by a health care provider in which etiology could not have been identified within 3 weeks as an outpatient and one week as an inpatient.When dealing with a patient with FUO the doctor should be aware of the importance of a detailed history and physical examination. The laboratory investigations should be planned accordingly through detailed history and physical examination. As there are a lot of diseases leading to FUO, a diagnosis algorithm could not be made, however recent studies on the topic were reviewed to help pediatricians in this difficult situation
