“…Çiçek et al [ 5 ] were detected the positivity rate as 35.4% in pediatric patients with acute respiratory infection and 27.3% in adult patients. Akçalı et al [ 22 ] reported 41.8%, Ünüvar et al [ 23 ] reported 29.8% viral agent positivity that could cause infection in a pediatric patient. Avcu et al [ 17 ] reported that viral agents were detected in 83.3% of patients by molecular methods and RSV has been reported as the most common agent.…”

OBJECTIVE Early and accurate diagnosis of acute respiratory infections is important because these diseases negatively affect public health and can lead to loss of workforce and an increase in health expenditures. In this study, we aimed to determine the respiration panel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results and seasonal distribution in our region. METHODS Three thousand and seventy-four patients samples multiplex PCR (Anatolia, Bosphore ® Respiratory Pathogens Panel Kit v1) test results, which were sent to our laboratory, from 13 hospitals in our region between January 2018 and December 2018, were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 3074 patients samples, 1465 (48%) were positive and 1609 (52%) were negative test results. The most common factors were rhinovirus 30.2%, influenza A 23.1%, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) A/B 19.1%, respectively. When the distribution of these three most common viruses by months is examined, the most frequent months were determined as June for rhinovirus, November for influenza A, and February for RSV A/B. In the period between October and February, there was a significant increase in the positivity level of viral factors. CONCLUSION The use of molecular methods in the diagnosis of respiratory infections will prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics and ensure correct and rapid treatment.

Solunum yolu enfeksiyonu bulguları ile çocuk acil polikliniğine başvuran ve çocuk acil yataklı ünitesinde takip edilen 5 yaş altı hastaların nazofaringeal sürüntü örneklerinde saptanan solunum yolu virüslerinin görülme sıklığının, mevsim, yaş ve klinik bulgulara göre dağılımının saptanması amaçlandı. Hastaların kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi ve yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru şikayeti, fizik muayene bulguları, başvurduğu mevsim, non-invaziv ventilasyon gereksinimi, hastanede yatış süresi, nazofaringeal sürüntü viral polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) inceleme sonuçları kaydedildi. Nazofaringeal sürüntü viral PCR sonuçları incelendiğinde hastaların 43'ünde (%26,5) herhangi bir virüs izole edilemediği, 119'unda (%73,5) ise en az bir ya da birden fazla virüs izole edildiği görüldü. Bu 119 hastanın 82'sinde (%68,9) tek bir virüs, 37'sinde (%31,1) iki veya daha fazla virüs izole edildi. Hastaların aldıkları tedavileri incelendiğinde 87'sinin (%53,7) hiçbir antibiyotik almadığı, 75'inin (%46,3) ise bir ya da birden çok antbiyotik tedavisi aldığı görüldü. Viral patojenlerin erken dönemde saptanması ile gereksiz antibiyotik kullanımının önlenebileceği, antibiyotik direncinin kontrol altına alınabileceği, hastanede yatış süresinin kısalacağı ve tedavi maliyetlerinin azalacağı düşünülmektedir.
