    Case Report: Two Plasmodium Vivax Malaria Cases in the Van Province
    (2009) Karahocagil, M.K.; Baran, A.I.; Yaman, G.; Ciçek, M.; Bilici, A.; Binici, I.; Akdeniz, H.
    Malaria is an important parasitic infection which is endemic in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeastern Anatolia regions and sporadic in other regions of Turkey, while Plasmodium vivax is the most common cause. Two patients who were admitted to our hospital in October with complaints of high fever, chills, nausea-vomiting, generalized body pain and fatigue and diagnosed as P. Vivax malaria are presented, because they were two brothers with no history of travel outside of Van city.

    Cutaneous Anthrax in Eastern Turkey
    (Wiley, 2008) Karahocagil, M. K.; Akdeniz, N.; Akdeniz, H.; Calka, Oe.; Karsen, H.; Bilici, A.; Evirgen, Oe.
    Background. Anthrax is a zoonotic disease diminishing worldwide. Although a very rare disease in developed countries, anthrax is still endemic in developing countries. Aim. To evaluate the clinical history and features, treatment and outcome of our patients with anthrax and emphasize the importance of the disease in our region. Method. In this study, the records of all patients diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax admitted to Yuzuncu Yil University Medical Faculty between March 2002 and March 2007, were reviewed, and data on age, gender, occupation, clinical symptoms and findings, location and type of lesions, clinical history, laboratory findings, treatment and outcome were recorded. Results. There were 85 patients [46 (54.1%) male, 39 (45.9%) female; mean age 30.6 years, range 6-72]. All the patients had a history of contact with infected animals or animal products. The infectious agent was found using direct examination of Gram-stained smears from 17 patients (20%), and Bacillus anthracis was isolated from vesicle fluid cultures from 11 patients (12.9%). Diagnosis was based on clinical findings in the remaining 57 patients (67.1%). All patients, except for two with respiratory tract obstruction, made a full recovery. Conclusion. Anthrax continues to be an endemic disease in Turkey, and should be considered in patients with a relevant contact history having a painless ulcer and vesicular skin lesions surrounded by a zone of oedema. Gram staining and simple culture methods are useful aids to diagnosis, but diagnosis may have to be based on clinical grounds in the majority of patients.

    Quantitative Volumetric Assessment of Pulmonary Involvement in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
    (AME Publishing Company, 2016) Cetinçakmak, M.G.; Göya, C.; Hamidi, C.; Tekbas, G.; Abakay, Ö.; Batmaz, I.; Bilici, A.
    Background: Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for assessing interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). In this study, we performed a quantitative calculation of ILD severity by examining the lung volume of SSc patients. Methods: The present study was performed retrospectively on 38 patients with SSc who were referred to our clinic. Patients were divided into two groups based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT): patients with ILD and patients without ILD.The percentage of lower lobe volume (PLLV) was calculated using HRCT. In addition, we evaluated the PLLV in all patients according to age, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and spirometric findings, and assessed the relationships among these factors. Results: PLLV of the right lung in patients with ILD was reduced when compared with patients without ILD (P=0.041). The PLLV of the right lung in patients with ILD was negatively correlated with age and forced vital capacity (FVC; P=0.01 and P=0.012, respectively). Conclusions: The PLLV of the right lung may decrease in SSc patients with ILD. In these patients, the PLLV may be a quantitative parameter indicating damage in the lung.
