Introduction: Many studies have shown that coagulation disorders and increased risk of thrombosis may occur during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Although cardiac or pulmonary vascular pathologies has been detected in most cases, cerebral sinus thrombosis are rare. During COVID-19 infection patients rarely present with neurological symptoms.Case Report: A 19-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with neurological symptoms. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was detected in Brain Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging examinations. Our patient was hospitalized in the neurology department of our hospital for medical treatment and was discharged after clinical recovery.Discussion: In this case report we wanted to draw attention to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis which is a rare but treatable complication of COVID-19 infection in a young patient. We examined our patient in the light of literature. Conclusion:Clinicians should keep in mind the diagnosis of CVST that may occur due to infection associated thrombosis in COVID-19 patients presenting with neurological symptoms and consider adding anticoagulants to the treatment if necessary.

Objective: The discovery of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic was encouraged to establish immunity and decrease the effects of the virus. Vaccines, like any other medicine, include the possibility of side effects. This study was carried out to categorize the side effects and to show that no severe side effects developed. In this study, we aimed to examine the patients who came to the emergency department with side effects after administering the inactivated vaccine. Material Methods: In this study, between January and March 2021, healthcare workers and people over 80 who applied to the emergency department after developing a side effect after administering the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccine were included. Results: In the study, 82 (82.8%) were healthcare professionals, and 17 (17.2%) were in the over-80 age group. The most common side effect was COVID-like findings (47.5%). While the rate of applications to the emergency department after the first dose of vaccination was69.7% (n=69), it was observed that it decreased to 30.3% (n=30) after the second dose of the vaccine. Conclusion: In general, post-vaccination side effects are tolerable and not life-threatening. Furthermore, the risk of becoming infected with the virus post-vaccination is lower. Therefore, hesitation to vaccinate may cause more risk.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada; ilimizdeki sağlık kuruluşlarında verilen beyaz kod verileri incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Yöntem: Retrospektif ve çok merkezli yapılan bu çalışmada; 1 Ocak 2017-30 Haziran 2022 tarihlerinde, Kırklareli ilindeki tüm sağlık birimlerinde şiddet görmüş sağlık personelinin bildirim yaptığı beyaz kod verileri incelenmiştir. Mağdur sağlıkçının demografik verileri, vasfı, çalıştığı sağlık kurumu ve birimi ayrıca şiddeti uygulayan kişinin hasta ile yakınlığı, şiddetin uygulandığı zaman ve sebebi not edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma aralığındaki 360 ‘beyaz kod olay bildirim formu’ incelendiğinde; mağdur sağlıkçıların çoğunun (%51,1) kadın olduğu görüldü. En fazla oranda hastanelerde (%66,9) ve poliklinik kısmında (%41,1) şiddet yaşandığı tespit edildi. Hekimlerin (%60) diğer sağlık personellerine göre daha fazla oranda, sözel şiddet (%84,4) şeklinde ve en fazla oranda mesai saatleri içinde (%59,7) şiddet yaşandığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Sağlıkta şiddetin arttığı bu günlerde; tüm sağlık çalışanlarının motivasyonunun bozulduğu görülmektedir. Maalesef ilimizdeki sonuçlar da literatürle uyumlu olarak yüksek tespit edilmiştir. Bu konu; sağlıkta şiddetin yaşanmadığı tespit edilene kadar, sürekli gündemde tutulmalı, sağlık personeline şiddeti engelleyecek yaptırımlar planlanmalıdır.

Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is still a significant public health problem in developing and developed countries. Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most common form of TB among extrapulmonary TB patients. Cervical region lesions can be confused with other lymphadenopathy diseases, making diagnosis difficult. Case report: A 26-year-old male patient with no known disease presented to our Emergency Service with complaints of swelling on his neck that had been growing steadily for several weeks. Tuberculosis bacillus was detected when a lymph node biopsy was taken and examined from the patient, whose lymphadenitis was thought to be in the foreground. Conclusion: This article aims to emphasize that tuberculosis infection, which is a specific infectious agent, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the case presenting with cervical swelling. The diagnosis can be made quickly with a simple and inexpensive imaging method such as ultrasound.
