Bu çalışmanın amacı kene ısırması sonucu acil servise başvuran hastaları epidemiyolojik yönden değerlendirmektir. Kene ısırması şikâyeti ile acil servisimize başvuran erişkin hastaların (yaş≥18) dosya kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen hastaların, demografik özellikleri, klinik bulguları ve tetkik sonuçları değerlendirildi. Bu çalışmaya 263 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 46,5±17,2, ve 139'u (%52,9) kadın idi. Hastalar en fazla haziran ayında (%41,4) başvurmuştu. Hastaların %57'si kırsal kesimde yaşıyordu. Kene ısırığı en fazla (%38) gövdede tespit edildi. Hastaların vücu-dundaki keneler % 63,9 oranında bir doktor tarafından çıkarılmıştı. Hastaların çoğunluğu ayaktan takip edilmişken, 33 tanesi hastaneye yatırılmıştı. Kene ısırması sonucu acil servise başvuran hastalar genellikle kırsal kesimde yaşamaktadır ve yaz mevsiminde başvurular artmaktadır. Acil servisler kene ısırması şikâyeti olan hastaların yönetiminde önemli yere sahiptir.J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2009; 26:153-156 ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the epidemiologic features of patients who admitted to Emergency Department (ED) due to the tick bite. This study was designed retrospectively by examining medical records of the patients (age≥18) who were admitted to our ED with complaints of tick bite. Demographic and clinical features and laboratory findings of the patients were assessed. A total of 263 patients was included for the study. The mean age of the patients was 46,5±17,2 and 139 of them wen female 52.9%. Most of the patients were admitted to the ED in June. 150 of patients (%57) were living in rural areas. The tick bites were mostly found in trunk part of the patients (38%). The ticks, on the body surface of the patients, were mostly removed by doctors (63.9%). While most of the patients were discharged from the ED with suggestions for turning back to control, 33 of them were hospitalized. Patients with tick bites are commonly living in rural areas and admission rate to the ED is being increased in the summer. The EDs have important role in the management of patients with complaints of tick bite.
Rectus sheath hemorrhage (RSH) is an uncommon condition characterized by abdominal pain. It is an accumulation of blood in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle, secondary to rupture of an epigastric vessel or muscle tear. It is usually located infraumblically and often misdiagnosed as acute abdomen. This case report describes a patient with RSH and retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to anticoagulant therapy, who was admitted to our Emergency Department with complaints of abdominal pain, emesis, nausea, and abdominal wall ecchymosis. Computerized tomography must be chosen for diagnosis. Main therapy is conservative management.
Pnömomediastinum (PM) mediasten içinde hava bulunmasıdır. Spontan pnömomediasti-num (SPM) nadiren semptom verir ve genellikle tesadüfen saptanır. SPM daha çok genç erkeklerde görülen ve genellikle kendi kendine iyileşme eğilimi gösteren bir klinik durumdur. Klinik çok değişkendir ve müphem şikayetlerden hayatı tehdit eden solunum yetmezliğine kadar ilerleyebilir. Ağrı, en sık görülen semptomdur (%80-90) ve substernal bölgeye lokalize olur. PM tanısı radyolojik olarak standart PA ve yan akciğer grafisi ile konur. Tedavi sebebe yönelik olup hızla tanı konularak gerekiyorsa erken cerrahi tedavi yapılmalıdır. Biz bu yazımızda, acil servise göğüs ağrısı ile başvuran bir olguyu sunarak, göğüs ağrısına neden ayırıcı tanısında SPM'a dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık.J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2010; 27: 77-80 ABSTRACT Pneumomediastinum (PM) is a term given to the situation when there is air in the mediastinum. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) gives symptom rarely and it is diagnosed coincidentally. SPM is seen frequently in young males and tend to heal spontaneously. Clinical appearance is unsteady spreads from ambiguous complaints to respiratory insufficiency which threatens life. Pain is the most common symptom and is localized substernally. PM is diagnosed by PA and lateral chestlung X-ray radiologically. Treatment must be based on cause and early surgical interventionery must be performed if needed. In this article, we aimed to present a case that has been admitted to Emergency Department for chest pain and point to SPM in the differential diagnosis of chest pain.
