Cutaneous anthrax patients in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey: a review of 44 adults cases

Öz:
Amaç: Şarbon B. anthracis tarafından oluşturulan zoonotik bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde hala önemini korumaktadır. Biyolojik silah olarak kullanılmaya uygun olması, tüm dünya için potansiyel bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmamızda bölgemizde görülen deri şarbonu olan olgularının epidemiyolojik, klinik ve laboratuar özelliklerini irdelemek. Yöntem ve gereç: Çalışmamız, 2005-2008 yılları arasında Doğu Anadolu bölgesinden hastanemize başvuran ve yatırılarak tedavileri yapılan 44 deri şarbonu olgusunu içermektedir. Bulgular: Çalışmamız kapsamındaki 44 deri şarbonu olgusunun 24’ü (% 54,5) erkek, 20’si (% 45,5) kadındı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 41 ± 14.96 olarak bulundu. Mesleki açıdan en yüksek risk grubu çift çiler (n = 21, % 48) ve ev hanımlarıydı (n = 19, % 43). Olguların 33’ü (% 75) hafi f püstüler şarbon lezyonu, 11’i (% 25) ise ağır deri şarbonu ve yaygın ödemi bulunan hastalardan meydana gelmişti. Riskli temasların sıklıkla hayvanın etinin doğranması (n = 36, % 81,8), hayvan kesimi (n = 34, % 77,3) ve hasta hayvanla direkt temas (n = 22, % 50) şeklinde oluştuğu tespit edildi. Cilt lezyonlarının en sık eller (n = 24, % 54,5), kollar (n = 18, % 40,9) ve parmaklarda (n = 11, % 25) lokalize olduğu belirlendi. Olgularımızın hiçbiri ölümle sonuçlanmadı, tamamı şifa ile taburcu edildi. Sonuç: Şarbon ülkemiz için hala önemli bir sağlık sorunudur ve genellikle deri şarbonu şeklinde karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hasta bir hayvan ya da hayvan ürünüyle temas öyküsü olan ve ödem, vezikül ile birlikte ağrısız ülseri bulunan bir kişide şarbon akla gelmelidir. Risk grubunda bulunan kişiler bulaş ve riskli davranışlar açısından eğitilmelidir. Hayvanların aşılanması, hem hayvan hem de insan şarbon olgularını azaltabilecektir.

Aim: Anthrax is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by B. anthracis. It remains as an important issue in developing countries and it is a potential threat for the world because of its use as a biological weapon. In this study, we evaluated the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of 44 patients with cutaneous anthrax in our region. Materials and methods: Th e study included 44 cutaneous anthrax patients admitted to our hospital from the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey between 2005 and 2008. Results: Out of 44 cases, 24 (54.5%) were male and 20 (45.5%) female. Th e mean age was 41 ± 14.96 years. High risk occupations were farmers (n = 21, 48%) and housewives (n = 19, 43%). Th e sample consisted of 33 (75%) cutaneous anthrax with pustular lesion and 11 (25%) severe cutaneous anthrax with extensive edema. Th e most common exposures to sick animal or animal products were cutting of meat (n = 36, 81.8%), slaughtering of animal (n = 34, 77.3%), and direct contact with sick animal (n = 22, 50%). Cutaneous lesions were commonly located on hands (n = 24, 54.5%), arms (18, 40.9%), and fi ngers (n = 11, 25%). No death occurred and all of them were discharged from hospital. Conclusion: Anthrax is still an important health issue in Turkey and usually presents as a cutaneous anthrax. Cutaneous anthrax should be considered in any patient with a painless ulcer with vesicles, edema, and a history of exposure to animals or animal products. Th e people under risk should be informed about risky exposures. Vaccination of animals may decrease the number of animal and human anthrax cases.
