In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings of the patients hospitalized with rotavirus gastroenteritis-related afebrile seizure, retrospectively. The study population consisted of 16 patients (9 girls and 7 boys) with a mean age of 13.81 ± 5.98 months (age range 6-26). The male/female ratio was 0.77. None of the patients had any psychomotor developmental retardation. Neurological examinations of all the patients were normal. There were 7 patients with generalized tonic (43.75%), 8 generalized tonic-clonic (50%), and 1 focal seizure (6.25%). The duration of the seizures varied at a range of 2-7 min (mean 3.68 ± 1.35 min). The period between the onset of the clinical findings of the rotavirus infection and the occurrence of the seizures was ranged from 12 to 48 h (mean 31.5 ± 12.2 h). The prognosis of the rotavirus gastroenteritis-related afebrile convulsions was generally benign. Rotavirus infection should be taken into consideration in infants with gastroenteritis and afebrile convulsions.
Background: Primary school can lead to compatibility problems in children without an early childhood education because they experience separation from their families for the first time. Objectives: In order to detect developmental delays that may arise at the school and to plan the necessary support, it was aimed to determine primary school readiness levels of the children aged 66 -72 months. Methods: This study included 91 children aged 66 -72 months who were admitted to the Pediatric Outpatient Clinic of Beyhekim State Hospital between June 2016 and August 2016. The Denver Developmental Screening Test II which consists of 134 items was performed. The Test items are divided into four main sections and surveys whether the chilren are ready for the first grade of primary school. The test results were interpreted as normal, suspect and abnormal. Results: 36 (39.6%) of 91 patients were female and 55 (60.4%) were male. There was no statistically significant difference between the test results in terms of gender. When examining the distribution of children according to months, there was no statistically significant difference. Data for the child's age, the mother's age, the father's age, duration of breastfeeding, the age (month) at
GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Gastroenterit nedeniyle hastaneye başvuran hastalarda etkeni saptamaya yönelik birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Ancak hastaneye gastroenterit nedeniyle yatan hastalardaki epidemiyolojik araştırmalar sınırlı sayıdadır. Bu çalışmada; Konya bölgesinde çocuklarda akut gastroenterite neden olan etkenlerin dağılımı ve görülme sıklığının saptanması ve akut gatroenteritli çocukların demografik, klinik ve laboratuar bulgularını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER:Bu çalışmaya Ocak 2015-Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz Çocuk sağlığı ve hastalıkları servisine akut gastroenterit tanısıyla yatırılarak izlenen, 1 ay-16 yaşlarındaki 412 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların verileri geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, mevsimsel dağılımı, semptomlar, hastanede yatış süresi, hastalığın seyri, akut gastroenteritin tipi, nazokomiyal infeksiyon sıklığı ve komplikasyonlar incelendi. BULGULAR: 12 aylık çalışma periyodunda çeşitli nedenlerle hastaneye yatan toplam hasta sayısı 3985 iken, %10.33'ünü ishal nedeniyle yatan vakalar oluşturmaktaydı. Hastaların 227'si (%55.1) erkek, 185'i (%44.9) kız idi. Yaş gruplarına göre hastaların dağılımı 0-24 ay arasında 57 hasta (%13.8), 24-60 ay arasında 262 hasta (%63.6), 60 ay üzerinde ise 93 hasta (%22.6) mevcuttu. Yaş grupları ile hastalık grupları arasında karşılaştırıldığında 24-60 ay arasında viral gastroenterit bakımından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptandı (p: 0,001). 231 (%56.1) hastada viral akut gastroenterit, 74 (%17.9) hastada amibiazis, 107 (%26.0) hastada bakteriyel gastroenterit tespit edildi.TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Çocukluk yaş grubu akut gastroenteritlerinde özellikle viral nedenler rotavirusler akılda tutulmalı; diğer etkenlerin sıklığı gözönünde bulundurularak tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımları planlanmalıdır.
