Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Pediatric Patients in a Single Tertiary Hospital in Ankara

Öz:

Objective: Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease that is caused by a protozoan parasite of the Leishmania genus and that occurs worldwide.Leishmaniasis is endemic in southeastern Turkey and the neighboring Middle Eastern countries. The purpose of this study was to describethe clinical characteristics of patients admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).Methods: A total of 16 CL patients [11 (69%) boys and five (31%) girls] were admitted between January 2014 and December 2015. The dataof the patients were retrospectively recorded from their medical records.Results: Their mean age was 74.3±32.3 months (range: 1–10.5 years). Double lesions were most commonly seen in eight (50%) patients. Theface and neck was the most commonly involved site (87.5% of the patients). Skin smears for a parasitological examination were positive innine (56%) patients. Two patients (12.5%) with limb lesions were treated with intralesional meglumine antimoniate. Fourteen patients weretreated with systemic agents.Conclusion: We felt that the increase in human movement that include travels and forced migration due to the war might make it possiblefor CL to appear in non-endemic provinces such as Ankara. In particular, in patients with painless cutaneous lesion(s) who came from endemicareas such as Syria, CL should be kept in mind by the clinicians that residing in even non-endemic areas .

Çocuklarda Kutanöz Leishmaniasis: Tek Merkez Deneyimi

Öz:

Amaç: Leishmaniasis, tüm dünyada görülen, Leishmania türlerinin etken olduğu paraziter bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Leishmaniasis, Tür- kiye’nin Güney Doğu’sunda ve komşu Orta Doğu ülkelerinde endemiktir. Bu çalışma ile, Suriye’deki savaştan sonra hastanemize kutanöz leishmaniasis (KL) tanısı ile kabul edilen hastaların klinik özelliklerini tanımlamayı hedefledik. Yöntemler: Ocak 2014 ile Aralık 2015 arasında Dr. Sami Ulus Kadın Doğum, Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’ne toplam 16 kutanöz leyşmanyoz hastası (11 (%69) erkek and 5 (%31) kız) kabul edilmiştir. Hastaların bilgileri tıbbi kayıtlarından retrosepktif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 74,3±32,3 ay olarak tespit edilirken (Aralık: 1-10,5 yaş) hastalarda en sık tutuluan vücut bölgesinin yüz ve boyun (%87,5) bölgesi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ciltten alınan örneklerin yaymalarının mikroskobik incelemesinde 9 (%56) hastada amastigot şe- killeri görülmüştür. Ekstemitelerde lezyonu olan 2 (%12,5) hasta intralezyonel meglümin antimonat ile tedavi edilmiştir. On dört hasta sistemik olarak tedavi edilmiştir. Sonuç: Artan insan hareketleri ve göçler nedeniyle Ankara gibi hastalığın endemik olmadığı bölgelerde de KL vakaları görülebilir. Özellikle, Suriye gibi endemik bölgelerden gelen, ağrısız cilt lezyonları ile başvuran hastalarda endemik olmayan bölgelerde de çocuk hekimleri tarfın- dan KL akılda tutulmalıdır.
