In the Tokat and Sivas provinces of Turkey, overall Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) seroprevalence was 12.8% among 782 members a high-risk population. CCHFV associated with history tick bite or removal from animals, employment in animal husbandry farming, being >40 years age.
To determine prevalence, severity, duration, and time from onset to diagnosis of general Otorhinolaryngologic symptoms related COVID-19 in whole disease spectrum: mild critical patients.All adult patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA found nasopharyngeal oropharyngeal swabs between March 10 April 21, 2020 were surveyed by the authors for new during course. Demographic features, symptoms, Otorhinolaryngological evaluated compared severity.Of 223 included patients, 18.4% had mild, 61.4%;...
Although there have been a number of studies on the pathogenesis Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) recently, knowledge this topic is still insufficient. This study aims to reveal kinetics serum CCHF virus (CCHFV) titers, levels anti-CCHFV immunoglobulin (Ig)G, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and interferon (IFN)-γ in patients.In total, 31 cases (11 fatal) were studied. Serum samples obtained daily from all patients time admission continued for 7-day...
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical features, and outcome patients with miliary tuberculosis (TB). We retrospectively evaluated 263 (142 male, 121 female, mean age: 44 years, range: 16–89 years) TB. Criteria for diagnosis TB were at least one followings in presence presentation suggestive such as prolonged fever, night sweats, anorexia, weight loss: radiologic criterion pathological and/or microbiological criterion; criterion. pattern seen 88% patients. Predisposing factors...
Background: Managing Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections (BSIs) is challenging due to increasing antimicrobial resistance, limited therapeutic options, and high mortality rates. In this study, we aimed identify 30-day risk factors assess infectious diseases consultants’ preferences for combination or monotherapy. Methods: The study was conducted in four hospitals Istanbul, Turkey, involving 140 adult ICU beds 336,780 ICU-bed-days between 1 January 2014, 31 December 2021. A total of...
We aimed to explore factors for optimizing antimicrobial treatment in emergency departments. A single-day point prevalence survey was conducted on January 18, 2020, 53 referral/tertiary hospitals 22 countries. 1957 (17%) of 11557 patients presenting EDs had infections. The mean qSOFA score 0.37 ± 0.74. Sepsis (qSOFA ≥ 2) recorded 218 (11.1%) patients. significantly higher low-middle (1.48 0.963) compared upper-middle (0.17 0.482) and high-income (0.36 0.714) countries (P < 0.001). Eight...
ObjectivesThe Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus can spread from person to and may cause nosocomial outbreaks among healthcare workers (HCWs). The US Centers for Disease Control Prevention have recommended the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). We investigated compliance HCWs with PPE usage during follow-up patients, also number risky contacts that occurred between patients HCWs. aimed determine seroprevalence CCHF in HCWs.MethodsThis study was conducted at Cumhuriyet...
Abstract Objectives Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID‐19) lead to one of the pandemics last century. We aimed predict poor prognosis among severe patients early intervention. Methods The data 534 hospitalized were assessed retrospectively. Risk factors and laboratory tests that might enable prediction defined as being transferred intensive care unit and/or exitus have been investigated. Results At admission, 398 (74.5%) mild‐moderate ill. It was determined male gender, advanced age,...
Accidental exposure to percutaneous needle stick and sharp injuries (NSSIs) blood other body fluids is the unintended contact with risky medical instruments or patient secretions during a intervention. During COVID-19 pandemic, significance of occupational in healthcare professionals was revealed once again. To assess injuries, we compared rates, distribution type NSSIs health care workers for 2019 (pre-pandemic era) 2020 (pandemic years, respectively. Our study included data collected by...
Human monkeypox (MPX) disease is a re-emerging zoonotic infection caused by the virus belonging to same family as vaccinia and variola. The European Center for Disease Prevention Control (ECDC) has documented an outbreak of MPX with atypical transmission paths throughout Europe. In this report, male-to-male sexual intercourse was first defined means close humanto-human contact. Ministry Health Republic Turkey announced via social media on June 30, 2022 that case confirmed polymerase chain...
ObjectiveCrimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute viral with a high mortality rate. Despite increasing knowledge about fevers, the pathogenesis of CCHF and causes death have not been well described. In this study, we aimed to evaluate cardiac functions patients.MethodsThis prospective study was performed among confirmed cases in Turkey 2007. All patients underwent thorough cardiologic evaluation transthoracic echocardiography examination within 24 hours hospitalization. addition,...
The relationship of leptin to diminished appetite and weight loss has been investigated in many diseases. Diminished are the most apparent characteristics patients with active lung tuberculosis this study relation such before after treatment. Twenty‐five (7 female, 18 male) having an age range 18–70 years (mean 47.48 ± 15.36 y) 25 normal individuals (9 16 25–71 44.60 13.80 were included study. Leptin levels, body mass index (BMI), fat ratio (BFR), waist hip (WHR) measured 6 months...
We investigated the possibility of transmission Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus through respiratory and physical contact. In this prospective study, we traced 116 close relatives confirmed CCHF cases who were in contact with patients during acute phase infection evaluated type between their relatives. These followed for clinical signs or symptoms indicative disease, blood samples those without analyzed immunoglobulin M G (IgM IgG, respectively) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
We analyzed the clinical and laboratory findings of both pediatric adult patients with oropharyngeal tularemia. also compared therapeutic outcomes who underwent surgical drainage lymph nodes early or late during antibiotic therapy. A total 68 tularemia, including 26 children 42 adults, were enrolled in this study. The average duration between symptom onset hospital admission was 20.8 days (4-60 days) group 32.6 (4-90 (P = 0.009). most frequently observed symptoms sore throat (100% 100%),...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a fatal emerging acute viral infection. Not much known regarding the pathogenic mechanisms and reasons behind severe or mild disease courses in CCHF. IFN-alpha (IFNA) one of essential cytokines immune system. Existence single nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) can cause susceptibility resistance to agents different clinical courses. Hence, relationship between SNPs genes encoding (IFNA1 -1823G/A (rs1332190), IFNA5 -2529T/A (rs758236), IFNA10...
Late presentation of the patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated less favourable treatment responses, more accelerated clinical progression, and a higher mortality risk. Although HIV prevalence low in Turkey, it steadily increasing information about late among HIV-positives limited. We aimed to analyze status HIV-positive Turkey.All newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS from 2003 2016 were enrolled this study by five dedicated centres Istanbul, Turkey. Demographic data,...
