A Neonatal Septic Arthritis Case Caused by Klebsiella Pneumoniae: A Case Report
(Premchand Shantidevi Research Foundation, 2016) Ozsari, Tamer; Bora, Gulhan; Ozdemir, Ozmert M. A.; Kilic, Ilknur
Septic arthritis is encountered very rarely during the neonatal period and its diagnosis can delay because of atypical symptoms, thus it may lead to serious sequelae. The sequale can be prevented by early diagnosis and concomitant treatment. In neonates, pain can be experienced as a result of pseudoparalysis and of movement of the effected joints. A 17-day-old neonatal patient was brought to our hospital with complaint of unrest and then diagnosed with septic arthritis due to propagation of Klebsiella pneumoniae in joint fluid culture was represented because of the rarity of such a case.

(Kowsar Publ, 2016) Ozsari, Tamer; Bora, Gulhan; Kaya, Bulent; Yakut, Kahraman
Background: Acute gastroenteritis stemming from viral causes is very common during the childhood period. Rotavirus and enteric adenovirus are the most common factors of acute gastroenteritis encountered in infants and children. However, the epidemiology of rotavirus and enteric adenovirus gastroenteritis in the east Anatolia region is not well-known. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the distribution of antigen positivity in rotavirus and enteric adenovirus antigen tests required cases and demographic data retrospectively in pediatric patients admitted to our hospital. Patients and Methods: The records of stool sample analyses for 1154 patients admitted to our hospital from June 2011 to December 2011 with complaints of diarrhea were retrospectively examined. The presence of rotavirus and enteric adenovirus antigens in stool specimens was investigated by means of an immunochromatographic test. Results: Viral antigens were detected in 327 (28.3%) stool specimens out of 1154. Among the positive results, the frequency was 73.7% for rotavirus and 26.2% for adenovirus. While the detected rotavirus antigen rate was high for all age groups, it was highest for children under the age of 2, with a rate of 57.1%. Moreover, the rotavirus infections were observed at a rate of 44.3% in winter and of 24.6% in autumn. Conclusions: The most important factor in childhood acute gastroenteritis in east Anatolia is the rotavirus. Rotavirus and adenovirus antigens should be routinely investigated as a factor in fresh stool samples for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of gastroenteritis in children in the winter and autumn months.
Seroprevalence of Rubella in Northeastern Turkey
(Springer Wien, 2013) Akkoyunlu, Yasemin; Arvas, Gulhan; Ozsari, Tamer; Hakyemez, Ismail Necati; Kaya, Bulent; Aslan, Turan
Aim The aim of this study was to search rubella prevalence and compare the results with national and international data. Materials and methods The presence of anti-rubella immunoglobulin G (IgG) and anti-rubella immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies were studied in the sera obtained from cases with fever in last week and applied to the Microbiology Laboratory in the period between February 2010 and December 2010. No clinical sign or symptom regarding rubella infection has been evaluated for cases to obtain blood samples. IgM and IgG antibodies were tested with ELISA (Vitros ECI Q (J&J) Company Ortho Clinical Diagnostic Macro) method. The data obtained were assessed with SPSS statistical package using chi-square trend analysis method. Results Anti-rubella IgM positivity was found 6/68 (8.8%) of males and 3/138 (2.2%) of females who are under 18 years-old (p = 0.028). Meanwhile 47/65 (72.3%) of males and 99/122 (81.8%) of females under 18 years-old were presented with anti-rubella IgG positivity (p = 0.164). In all, 2/8 (25 %) males and 28/1,181 (2.4 %) females older than 18 years-old were anti-rubella IgM positive (p = 0.013). Anti-rubella IgG antibodies were found positive in 862/1,181 (73 %) of females and all males (8/8) older than 18-years-old (p = 0.086). Conclusions In spite of the active immunization programme commenced after 2006, rubella infection is still a risk in Turkey without discriminating the gender.
