Amaç: Akut gastroenteritler, özellikle
çocukluk çağında görülmekle beraber her yaş grubundan insanı etkilemekte ve tüm
dünyada yaygın olarak görülen enfeksiyon hastalıkları arasında yer almaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, beş yıllık süreçte hastanemizde akut gastroenterit tanısı almış
çocuk ve yetişkin hastalarda adenovirüs ve rotavirüs sıklığının retrospektif
olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, 1 Ocak 2014-31
Aralık 2018 tarihlerinde Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarına gönderilen dışkı
örneklerinde combo test kullanılarak rotavirüs ve adenovirüs pozitifliği
retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya dahil edilen toplam
18938 dışkı örneğinin 2615 (%13,8)’inde viral antijenler
saptanmıştır. Pozitif örneklerin 1686 (%64,5)’sı rotavirüs, 479 (%18,3)’u
adenovirüs, 450 (%17,2)’si hem adenovirüs hem de rotavirüs açısından pozitif
olarak tespit edilmiştir.
Aim: Acute gastroenteritis appears
mostly during childhood but can effect people of all ages and it is one of the
most common infectious diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the incidence of adenovirus and rotavirus in children and adults with
acute gastroenteritis in our hospital for five years period.
Materials and Methods: In this study, between 1 January
2014-31 December 2018 stool samples sent to Medical Microbiology Laboratory
were evaluated retrospectively according
to adenovirus and rotavirus positivity by
using combo test.
Results: Totally 18938 stool samples
included to this study and 2615 (%13.8) of the samples were
identified positive for viral antigens. 1686 (%64.5%) of the samples were
positive for rotavirus, 479 (18.3%) of the samples were positive for
adenovirus, 450 (17.2%) of the samples were positive both for adenovirus and
rotavirus.
Conclusions: As a result, in our study
rotavirus antigens were detected the most common cause of acute viral
gastroenteritis. Although more than half of the viral antigens were detected in
children aged under 3 years, but positivity was also found in elderly people.
Rapid detection of viral antigens from patients with acute gastroenteritis will
prevent the use of empirical antibiotic therapy.
