Objective: While the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has generally resulted in milder illness among children than adults, persistent respiratory symptoms have been increasingly reported this population. Methods:We conducted a prospective, single-center cohort study focusing on experiencing prolonged after contracting COVID-19.Spirometry, 6-minute walk tests (6MWTs), and of lung volume, diffusing capacity lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the second-most frequent drug type to cause hypersensitivity reactions in children. Asthma is one of risk factors for NSAID (NSAID-H) adult patients. There limited number studies evaluating NSAID-H among children with asthma. Our aim was assess frequency confirmed and evaluate classification <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Patients followed a diagnosis asthma our Pediatric...
Asthma and postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) have similar clinical findings, PIBO may be misdiagnosed with asthma. This study aimed to determine the features of in children causes delay its diagnosis.We retrospectively evaluated all patients diagnosed four pediatric pulmonology centers between 2007 2018. In total, 64 were reviewed. We compared laboratory differences who had initially been asthma correctly PIBO.Of patients, 22 (34.4%) Adenovirus was most common infectious agent...
Tracheostomy-related morbidity and mortality mainly occur due to decannulation, misplacement, or obstruction of the tube. A standardized training can improve skills confidence caregivers in tracheostomy care (TC).Our primary aim was evaluate efficiency program on knowledge (changing-suctioning tube) participants regarding TC.Sixty-five children with were included. First, evaluated written test about TC participated practical tests. Then, they asked participate a session, including...
Despite maximum isolation measures taken during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, workload of health institutions has increased. Consequently, changes in number admissions clinics and emergency departments by disease groups have been observed. We aimed to quantitatively investigate frequency respiratory infections asthma pediatric population COVID-19 pandemic.
Abstract Nocardia spp is a gram‐positive aerobic filamentous bacteria that causes pulmonary and systemic infections, especially in patients with immunosuppression or chronic lung diseases. It rarely reported children cystic fibrosis. Macrophage activation syndrome life‐threatening disease an excessive inflammatory response usually triggered by infections. There are few reports fibrosis related to macrophage syndrome. Herein we report child who had due infection.
We aim to evaluate the anxiety levels of caregivers children with tracheostomy during COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. Caregivers 31 and 105 healthy (control group) were included. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered via teleconference in order investigate how participants describe they feel at a particular moment (State) generally (Trait). trait significantly higher (P = .02). Their state similar. correlated (r 0.70, P < .001). At end teleconference, experienced...
No clear information exists about the factors affecting pleural thickening following parapneumonic effusion in children. We aimed to investigate that affect resolving time of after effusion.Between years 2007-18, 91 patients, which were followed due diagnosis effusion, assessed. Ages, complaints, physical examination findings, laboratory results, chest x-ray and ultrasonography treatments, duration treatment recovery patients examined terms time.The mean age was 7.5 ± 5.0 years. Pleural 151...

Although arthroscopic meniscus repair is the definitive treatment for meniscal tears, some patients have fear of undergoing such surgery. In this study, we hypothesized that with tears would a specific reason to avoid and those who had opted or avoided surgery differ in terms sociodemographic data, preoperative concerns regarding surgery, and/or functional status. A total 176 (32 males, 144 females; mean age: 46.32±11.80 years) were included study. All been diagnosed by clinical radiological...

Abstract Background and Objectives Children with tracheostomies are at increased risk of tracheostomy‐related complications require extra care. Standardized training programs for caregivers can improve tracheostomy care reduce complications. In this study, we compared caregiver knowledge skill scores after a standardized theoretical practical program on (IStanbul PAediatric Tracheostomy (ISPAT) project) immediately 1 year post‐training evaluated how affected the children's clinical outcomes....
This study was aimed to investigate the complications arising during follow-up and reasons for hospitalization in pediatric patients who were operated on esophageal atresia (EA) tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).Between 2007 2019, all EA TEF evaluated terms of age, gender, age at diagnosis, post-op, follow-up.In study, 28 50 TEF, 14 isolated EA, 8 TEF. The mean 4.9 ± 4.4 years, 18 (36%) them female. median diagnosis 1 (IQR: 1-3) day duration 4.6 4.1 years. During follow-up, 84% had recurrent...
Foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening condition in childhood. Clinical and radiological diagnosis may be delayed cases which foreign has lumen allows the air passage through also misdiagnosed as asthma or chronic cough. The delay can cause morbidity mortality. We have reported case of an 11-year-old boy with who been treated asthma. His dry cough could not controlled treatment. He had swallowed piece pipette before coughing started. Fiber optic bronchoscopy was applied. seen left...
<b>Aim:</b> Asthma and Post infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) have similar clinical findings PIBO patients may misdiagnosed as asthma previously. In this study we investigated the features of causes in delay correct diagnosis. <b>Method:</b> Sixty four diagnosed with followed up between years 2007 2018 pediatric centers.

<b>Introduction:</b> Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is as a rare pulmonary complication of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS). We present patient who was thought to have BO after SJS but there no radiological finding compatible with on the first thorax CT. However one month later CT findings became consistent BO.
