ÖZETAmaç: Çalışmada Devlet Hastanesi'nin Beydağı Kampüsü'nde Demodex türlerinin toplu yaşanılan ve kapalı alan olan hastanelerde uzun süre kalanlarda, görülme oranının tespiti, amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Hastane çalışanlarından laboratuar çalışanları, mutfak personeli, temizlik işçisi ve hemşirelerde parazit oranının belirlenmesi için Standart yüzeyel deri biyopsisi yöntemi ile yüzden örnek alınmış ve parazitoloji labooratuvarında incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Alınan 95 örneğin %74.7'sinde Demodex spp. görülmüştür. Yapılan istatistiki değerlendirmede meslekler, yaş ve cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmemiştir. Ayrıca araştırma kapsamındaki kadınların %75.4'ünün, erkeklerin ise %73.7'sinin Demodex sonucunun pozitif olduğu gözlenmiştir. Pozitif çıkan personelin alınan anemnezlerinde rosesae tanısı aldıklarını ve bazı dönemlerde yüzlerinde kaşıntı ve kızarıklık olduğunu bildirmişler ancak bununla ilgili herhangi bir tahlil yaptırmadıkları, saptanmıştır. Parazit bulunanlar ilgili kliniğe yönlendirilmişlerdir. Sonuç: Araştırmada parazitin yüksek bir oranda görülmesi, Demodex spp. konusunda personelin yeterli bilgisinin olmamasına bağlanmıştır. Methods: In order to determine the parasite prevalence among staff working in the Beydağı State Hospital, including laboratory and kitchen staff, cleaning workers and nurses, defi ned as risk groups by the infection experts and hospital administration, specimens were collected from their faces using standardized surface skin biopsy (SSSB) and analyzed in parasitology laboratories. Demodex spp. was found in 74.7% of the 95 specimens. The statistical analysis did not reveal any signifi cant differences by jobs, age and gender variables. Results: Moreover, it was observed that positivity was 75.4% for women, and 73.7% for men. Demodex spp. positive staff reported in their histories that they had been diagnosed with rosacea and had pruritus and blushes on their faces from time to time, for which they had not received any medical analyses. Subjects with Demodex spp. were referred to the relevant clinic. Conclusion: It was concluded that the high prevalence of the parasite among the hospital staff is associated with inadequate information about Demodex spp. among the staff.

This rate of parasite positivity among healthy subjects visiting hospital for porter examination suggests that intestinal parasites still constitute a public health problem in the region. Moreover, it can be considered that one important factor in the frequency of the parasite can be both the nature of the jobs of administrators and workers in sanitary and non-sanitary institutions and their interaction with people during sales.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
