The study aimed to evaluate the distribution of circulating respiratory viral pathogens other than severe acute syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) during first year coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with especially focusing on effects national-based mitigation strategies.This single-center was conducted between March 11, 2020-March 2021. All children who were tested by polymerase chain reaction nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 and common included in study.A total 995 suspected...
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem affecting millions of people annually. in children has unique features different from adults which makes the diagnosis to be more difficult. The spectrum symptoms TB could vary non-specific severe clinical presentations. In this study, we reviewed our experience at pediatric patients with active admitted tertiary hospital and aimed compare epidemiological, microbiological extra-pulmonary tuberculosis(EPTB) pulmonary...
Healthcare-associated infections results in increased health care costs and mortality. There are limited studies concerning the distribution of etiologic agents resistance patterns microorganisms causing healthcare-associated urinary tract (HA-UTI) pediatric settings.The aim this study was to evaluate antibiotic susceptibility pathogens HA-UTI children.Isolates from 138 children with UTI who were hospitalized pediatric, neonatal surgery intensive units reviewed.Most common isolated organism...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is reappearing with an increasing number of variants every day; this study aimed to determine the effect B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma), and B.1.617.2 (Delta) on hospitalization rates. This single-center was conducted at University Health Sciences Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Hospital from March 11 August 27, 2021. Variant analyses symptomatic patients admitted hospital who were found be positive for COVID 19 PCR performed. Out 680...
Purpose Our aim is to determine whether the presence of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (s-TREM-1) bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), serum procalcitonin levels (PCT), and Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) have diagnostic value in children with VAP. Methods All followed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who were mechanically ventilated at least for 48 hr between January 2014 December 2015 enrolled into our study. BALF sample was obtained via...
Introduction: Brucellosis, which is among the endemic regions of Turkey, a common zoonotic disease. The gold standard in diagnosing brucellosis culture. We aimed to compare demographic characteristics, risk factors, and clinical laboratory variables between cases with culture positivity undetected Materials Methods: This single-center study was conducted January 2007 April 2022. Clinical data patients brucella growth blood without were compared. Results: A total 150 included study. median...
Safety of blood and products is a major problem all over the world. Screening for markers infectious diseases an incomplete solution. One most important steps in improving safety donor selection. In this study, causes deferral were evaluated retrospectively center children's hospital. Analysis deferrals showed that commonly defined recent sexual exposure high-risk activity, ingestion medication, low hemoglobin level, abnormal pressure, being underweight, tattoos, piercing or acupuncture...
The challenge of disaster management in healthcare facilities is dealing with the incident’s consequences and maintaining regular operations. Diagnostic clinical microbiology laboratories have a critical role early diagnosis causative agents infectious diseases that could spread rapidly community lead to outbreaks. Blood banks are also crucial maintain blood supply chain cope raised demand for components because disaster-related injuries. It thus necessary prepare emergency plans, including...
We aimed to evaluate the correlation of caspofungin E-tests with prognosis and response therapy Candida parapsilosis complex bloodstream infections in children hospitalized a pediatric intensive care unit.All who had C. were treated included this retrospective study. For each patient, following parameters, including all consecutive blood central venous catheter (CVC) cultures, duration between diagnosis CVC removal, mortality rate, relapses as well demographic features, recorded.The survival...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common viral respiratory infection in infants. This study aimed to establish potential changes clinical course of RSV neonatal period with onset coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of interferon-γ release assay (IGRA), a sensitive microbiological method, in children and adolescents with suspected tuberculosis country high burden tuberculosis. Method: included 581 aged 4 - 19 years who were having tuberculosis, latently infected Mycobacterium had received at least one dose BCG vaccine between April 17, 2019, February 24, 2021. The evaluated TST results 106 patients positive Quantiferon test Results: years. Of...
Objective:We aimed to determine the patterns of antimicrobial drug usage and appropriateness antibiotic indications ratios in patients hospitalized Dr. Behcet Uz Children's Hospital on 15 th January 2012.Material Methods: A standard form was prepared demographic features such as age, gender for selection, microbiological results, dose dosing intervals sand presence pediatric infectious disease consultations were recorded this form; evaluated by a specialist.The results compared with data...
To the Editors: The BIOFIRE Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) Panel (bioMérieux, Marcy l’Etoile, France) allows clinicians to test for pathogens within hours and initiate appropriate treatment.1,2 We report neonates with healthcare-associated central nervous system infection, whose were detected using BCID2 panel from positive signals of blood culture in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples inoculated. first case was a male baby who born at 31 weeks gestation hospitalized respiratory...

Hospital infections associated with uncommon pathogens usually originated from environmental sources and are challenging for microbiologists clinicians because of the difficulties in differentiation colonization vs infection.Increasing reports bacteremia caused by point out their importance hospital infections.The increasing number case due to Cupriavidus spp., impose consider these unusual microorganisms which aerobic Gram-negative rods that live soil water.In this report, we present two...
Central nervous system infections (CNS) are life-threatening in children, requiring urgent intervention and rapid diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of syndromic tests diagnosing CNS distribution viral pathogens pediatric patients. A total 145 patients with a prediagnosis infection based on clinical findings by infectious disease specialist were included study. Microscopic examination, biochemical tests, bacteriologic culture, test (BioFire® FilmArray®...
