Cases of Cutaneous Anthrax in Eastern Turkey: the Reports of Three Cases
(Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2015) Karadaş, S.; Gönüllü, H.; Ceylan, M.R.; Esmer, F.; Ebinç, S.
Anthrax is an acute disease caused by the bacterium Ba cillus anthracis. This bacteria can form dormant endospores. When spores are inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with a skin lesion on a host, they may become reactivated multiply and rapidly. B. anthracis bacterial spores are soil-borne. Because of their long lifespan, spores are present globally and remain at the burial sites of animals killed by anthrax for many decades. Diseased animals can spread anthrax to humans, either by direct contact or by consumption of a diseased animal's flesh. The most frequent clinical type of anthrax is cutaneous anthrax. It presents as a boil-like skin lesion that eventually forms an ulcer with a black center (eschar). Cutaneous anthrax form often within the site of spore penetration between two and five days after exposure. Until the 20th century, anthrax infections killed thousands of animals and people worldwide each year. Animal vaccination programs and antibiotic therapy were decreased the number of deaths. But, anthrax is still a problem in less developed countries. It has been reported that the incidence of disease has decreased in Turkey. However, we present here in three cases of cutaneous anthrax admitted to the emergency department of our hospital within a week. © 2015 OMU.

Spontaneous Pneumothorax and Pneumomediastinum in Pregnancy: a Case Report
(Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2014) Karadaş, S.; Okyay, A.G.; Odabaşi, D.; Selvi, F.
Spontaneous acute pneumothorax may occur as a result of spontaneous rupture of subpleural blebs or bullae and it is extremely rare during pregnancy. Bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum were detected in a young pregnant woman admitted with the complaints of swelling and pain on her neck and upper thorax following 2 days of dyspnea. Nasal oxygen, analgesics and antiemetics were used as needed during ten days of hospitalization. Physical findings, chest x-ray and oxygen saturation improved at the end of this period. Since supportive treatment was sufficient, invasive treatments such as surgery or thorax tube were not required. Although rare, pneumothoax should be remembered in any pregnant woman with dyspnea and chest-pain and must be confirmed radiographically to distinguish it from other diseases and conditions. In this report, a case of spontaneous acute pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in a 10 week primigravida is presented.
Wunderlich Syndrome: a Case Report
(Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2019) Aktaş, R.S.; Karadaş, S.; Eskin, V.; Gizli, G.
Wunderlich syndrome is a rare cause of abdominal pain. This is spontaneous, nontraumatic kidney bleeding confined to the subcapsular and perirenal space. Various terms have been used including spontaneous perirenal haematoma, spontaneous subcapsular renal haemorrhage, nontraumatic perirenal haematoma and spontaneous perinephric haematoma. The etiology of spontaneous renal rupture has not been described yet. Possible causes include benign [e.g., angiomyolipomas (AML), tuberous sclerosis, renal cyst, adenoma, lipoma, and hamartoma] and malignant (e.g., oncocytoma, renal clear cell carcinoma, and Wilms’ tumor) tumors or it can occur secondary to vasculitis (polyarteritis nodosa), nephritis, blood dyscrasias (anticoagulant agents, polycythaemia), renal stone disease, arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, venous thrombosis or rupture of renal artery/intraparenchymal aneurysm. Clinically this condition presents with acute flank pain, palpable flank mass and hypovolemic shock together known as ‘Lenk’s triad’. Historically, renal neoplasms followed by vascular diseases were the most common causes of Wunderlich syndrome. Our case was 50 years old woman. A spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage patients who at night come to emergency with sudden abdominal pain. Wunderlich syndrome is cause of unexplained abdominal pain should be kept in mind. © 2019 OMU
