“…The low education status and low-income level were thought to be the reason that patients could not reach health care services.Unlike our study, another study in our country found that 59.3% of participants did not receive influenza vaccination, 3% did not know the vaccine, and 22% did not believe in the preventive role of the vaccine. 11 In our study, knowledge about tetanus vaccination and tetanus immunization rate were significantly higher among the group with high education level (p D 0.04; p D 0.006). We did not find any significant difference between education status and pneumococcal and influenza vaccination knowledge and coverage.…”

The safety of vaccines, access to health care, the level of community's knowledge and the attention of physicians play a critical role in the rate of adult vaccination. This study aims to determine the immunization rate of pneumococcal, influenza and tetanus vaccines among the patients and their knowledge and attitudes in the hospital. The study is a cross-sectional point prevalence survey. The patients who agreed to participate in the study were interviewed using a questionnaire. Patients' gender, occupation, educational status, income level and risk factors (immunosuppressed and over 65 years old) were compared with the knowledge and attitudes about vaccinations. Of the 251 participants, 51.4% were female and 48.6% were male. The self-reported vaccination rate was 3.5% for pneumococcal, 8.6% for influenza and 26.6% for tetanus. Most of the patients have knowledge about influenza vaccination (90.3%). Patients with the high education level have significantly higher knowlege about tetanus vaccination and higher rate of tetanus vaccine compared to those with low education level (p = 0.04; p = 0.006). It was found that those with higher income levels had the more pneumococcal vaccination, more knowledge on tetanus vaccination, and more attitude that tetanus vaccine is necessary compared to those with lower income level (p < 0.05). Patients without risk factors have a higher rate of tetanus vaccination compared to those with risk factors (p < 0.001). It was inferred that the high level of education and income have a positive effect on the patients vaccination rates and their knowledge and attitude.

“…Although it has been reported that even the use of a mask alone prevents the spread of respiratory viral pathogens because of its barrier (11), the effectiveness of enveloped viruses decreases with the use of soap, which is one of the hand hygiene practices (12). The widespread use of cologne as a disinfectant during the pandemic is another hygiene method that prevents the spread of viruses from person to person by providing fixation (13). In addition to the use of masks, other measures are also effective in reducing the incidence of non-COVID-19-URTI.…”

ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmada pandemi döneminde uygulanan maske, mesafe ve el hijyeni uygulamalarının COVID-19 dışı üst solunum yolu viral enfeksiyonlarına etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Araştırma kesitsel anket araştırması olarak dizayn edildi. Göğüs hastalıkları kliniğine başvuran hasta ve hasta yakınlarına pandemi öncesi ve pandemi döneminde ilk bir yıl içerisinde COVID-19 dışı mevsimsel viral üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu semptom ve bulgularının sorgulandığı bir anket uygulandı. Bulgular: 322 katılımcının yaş ortalaması 44.5±15.4 idi. Katılımcıların 177’si (%55) kadındı. 133 katılımcı pandemi öncesi ve sonrası Üst Solunum Yolu Enfeksiyonu(ÜSYE) geçirmemişti. Pandemi öncesi dönemde, pandemi dönemine göre ÜSYE nedeniyle hastaneye başvuranların oranı 1.28 kat daha fazlaydı. Katılımcıların %34.8’i COVID-19 öncesi ÜSYE geçirmemişti. Bu olguların %19.6’sı pandemi döneminde ÜSYE geçirmişti. Pandemi öncesi ÜSYE geçirenlerin oranı pandemi sonrası ÜSYE geçirenlere göre daha yüksekti ve bu istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı. (p:0.001). Sonuç: Maske kullanımı solunumsal viral patojenlerin yayılmasında, hastalığın önlenmesinde etkili olmuştur. Özellikle bu patojenlerin görüldüğü mevsimlerde pandemi sonrasında da maskemesafe- el hijyeni kurallarının toplumda uygulanmasının sürekliliğinin sağlanması hastalıkların önlenmesinde basit ve etkili yöntemlerdir. Anahtar Sözcükler: COVID-19, viral üst solunum yolu enfeksiyon, maske, mesafe, el hijyen

Objective: It is recommended to monitoring PEFR to diagnosing OA. Gold standard method is SIC test. The aim of this study is to evaluate comparison of SIC test results in patients with OA and non-OA and to discuss PEFR monitoring and underdiagnosed.Materials and Methods: 24 patients (16 OA, 8 non-OA) who underwent SIC test were analyzed retrospectively. Results:Although number of patients exposed to LMW (wood powders [n: 5]) was higher, IgE level was found significantly higher at OA (697.39 ± 839.36 kU/ml) (p: 0.027). Average PEFR monitoring days mean was 26.53±12.90.13 patients who diagnosed with OA with SIC was evaluated PEFR monitoring results were negative [%92.86]. Minimum FEV1 value on exposure day was lower in OA (p:0.001). Conclusion:We detected underdiagnosed cases rates were higher with diagnosing OA with PEFR monitoring alone. Our study also demonstrated that LMW agents cause immunological OA, independently from agent type and duration of exposure.
