Abstract

Son dönemde çocuk yaş gurubu Covid-19 hastalarının artması nedeni ile çocuk hastalar için tanı ve tedavi kriterlerinin oluşturulması önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda, hastane başvurusu sonrası Covid-19 tanısı konulan çocuk hastalarımızın tanı, tedavi ve laboratuar bulgularını değerlendirerek çocuklardaki Covid-19 tanı ve tedavi kriterlerinin oluşumuna katkı sağlamayı amaçladık Bu çalışmaya, pandemi sürecinde acil servis ve polikliniğe başvuruları sonrasında Covid-19 tanısı konularak ayaktan veya yatırılarak tedavi edilen çocuk yaş gurubu 220 olgu dahil edildi. Hastaların 142’si (%64.5) erkekti ve 18’inin (%8.1) kronik hastalığı vardı. Hastaların yaşları 7-17 arasında değişmekte olup, yaş ortalamaları 13,4±2,26 yıl idi. Klinik ve laboratuar bulgularının değerlendirilmesi sonucu 38 çocuk hastaneye yatırılarak tedavi edildi. Covid-19 enfeksiyonu tanı ve tedavisi için vakaların sınıflandırılması ve bu sınıflandırmaya göre tedavi ve takibinin yapılması mortalite ve komplikasyonların önlenmesi açısından önemlidir.

Evaluation of Child Cases with Covid-19

Abstract

Due to the recent increase in pediatric Covid-19 patients, it is important to establish diagnostic and treatment criteria for pediatric patients. In this study, we aimed to contribute to the formation of the diagnosis and treatment criteria for Covid-19 in children by evaluating the diagnosis, treatment and laboratory findings of our pediatric patients who were diagnosed with Covid-19 after hospital admission. 220 cases in the pediatric age group who were diagnosed with Covid-19 and treated as outpatients or inpatients after applying to the emergency service and polyclinic during the pandemic were included in this study. Of the patients, 142 (64.5%) were male and 18 (8.1%) had chronic disease. The ages of the patients ranged from 7 to 17, with a mean age of 13.4±2.26 years. As the result of the evaluation of clinical and laboratory findings, 38 children were treated after hospitalization. Classification of cases for the diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19 infection, and treatment and follow-up according to this classification are important in terms of preventing mortality and complications.
