(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2016) Bora, G.; Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Sünnetçioğlu, M.; Bora, A.; Yılmaz, Ö.; Çim, N.; Baran, A.İ.
The hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It usually causes infection in the liver and lungs. To a lesser extent, it may cause infection in the spleen, heart, bones and central nervous system. In this study, serological examination of hydatid cyst cases showing localization out of liver and lungs has been aimed. The clinical, radiological, and serological findings of a total 435 patients included to the examination between May 2010 and 2013, have been evaluated together. The indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test results were retrospectively scanned from hospital database of 288 patients among those who have received treatment because of hydatid cyst. The findings have been evaluated statistically through Chi-square trend analysis method according to ages and their localizations. According to the data obtained, 12 (7.2%) of 288 patients showing atypical localization in IHA (Indirect hemagglutination) results were positive and 13(9.6%) of them were found negative (p=3.393). According to the IHA results of 263 patients showing localization in liver and lungs 151 of them were positive and 112 of them were negative (p=3.393). The hydatid cyst is a disease that can be seen in every age range, besides, atypical localizations can also be seen in any age range. In terms of protecting public health, the public’s awareness should be raised and a greater emphasis on prevention methods are needed. © 2017 Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Rare Brucellosis Involvement: Thyroid Gland Abscess
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Sunnetcioglu, M.; Ceylan, M.R.; Atmaca, M.; Baran, A.İ.; Mentes, O.; Ücler, R.
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease, especially in endemic regions all over the world, it is a common infectious disease. However, brucellosis borne thyroid gland infection is quite rare. The purpose of this study is to draw attention to the thyroid abscess borne due to brucella, which also show an unusual clinical graphic. Within this study we aim to represent a case with thyroid abscess dominated Brucella spp. © 2015 Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
Use of Abo Blood Groups and Co-Morbidities as Predictors of Mortality in Covid-19 Patients
(Verduci Editore s.r.l, 2022) Öncü, M.R.; Aktaş, R.S.; Gizli, G.; Bilvanisi, S.; Yildiz, H.; Baran, A.İ.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the mortality relationship between COVID-19 and ABO blood groups and comorbid diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether ABO blood groups and comorbid diseases can be used as a prognostic factor for hospitalization. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included patients aged ≥ 18 years presenting to the adult emergency COVID-19 outpatient clinic. COVID-19 patients were divided into four stages according to their clinical status: mild, moderate, severe, and critical. Those with the comorbid disease were classified as Group I, and those without comorbid disease were classified as Group II. RESULTS: Of the 384 patients included in the study, 190 (49.5%) were male and 194 (50.5%) were female, with a mean age of 47.3 ± 18.4 years. The clinical data of the patients were scanned from the hospital automation system. Although the risk of transmission was higher, especially in people with A blood type, this rate was lower in the O blood group. The clinical course of the disease was more severe and the mortality rates were higher in the AB blood group (p < 0.001). In the hospital, 35 people who were treated for COVID-19 disease died. CONCLUSIONS: Certain ABO blood types and comorbid diseases were important risk factors for COVID-19 and were associated with mortality. We found that some ABO blood groups and comorbid diseases are associated with COVID-19 and may be important risk factors. While the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is high in blood group A, we think that the clinical course of COVID-19 may be more severe and the death rate higher in blood group AB. © 2022 Verduci Editore s.r.l.
