“…Gaur DS and his colleagues 16 in their study in 2007 found 29.6% squamous cell carcinoma, 19.7% small cell carcinoma, 12.7% adenocarcinoma, 36.6% poorly differentiated carcinoma and 1.4% carcinoid. Mahbub et al 22 found 42.86% squamous cell carcinoma, 21.43% small cell carcinoma, 10.71% adenocarcinoma , 25% non-specific cell types of carcinoma.…”

Background: Radiologically detected lung lesions are very common in regular clinical practice. It is very important to diagnose radiologically detected lung lesions early. Flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy is an excellent minimally invasive and safe investigation for early diagnosis of lung diseases. Methods: Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire from the patients who had lesion on chest x-ray that were not in the peripheral part and advised for bronchoscopy. Patients were followed up after getting their histopathology. Statistical analysis using SPSS16.0 was carried out thereafter. Results: Mean age of the respondents was 56.8 years with age ranging from 25 to 85 years. 82% of the patients were male. Male-female ratio was 4.5:1. Endobronchial growth was found in maximum 46% patients during bronchoscopy, followed by 22% showing inflammatory lesion. In 20% of the patients, bronchoscopy findings showed normal findings and 12% patients showed inconclusive results. In subsequent biopsy and histopathology, maximum 55.88% showed non-neoplastic lesion. Among the non-neoplastic lesions 26.47% showed non-specific inflammation.20.58% showed tuberculosis, 5.88% showed sarcoidosis and 2.94% showed aspergilloma. 35.29% cases showed neoplastic lesion, 2.94% showed inconclusive results, 2.94% showed normal results and 2.94% showed inadequate sample. 58.33% cases were squamous cell carcinoma, 25% cases were adenocarcinoma, 8.33% showed small cell carcinoma and 8.33% showed mixed cell type of carcinoma. Conclusion: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy can be successfully employed for the diagnosis of lung diseases, including malignancies and granulomatous lesions.It is extremely useful in finding specific etiologies of various lung diseases.

“…Akciğer kanserleri dâhil solunum yolu hastalıklarını tanılamada nazofaringeal yıkama/aspirasyon örneklerinin yanı sıra balgam, orofaringeal sürüntüler, bronkoalveolar lavaj (BAL), bronşiyal fırça ve plevral mayiler sıklıkla kullanılan örneklerdir (7) . SYE tanısında, antijen ve antikor ve nükleik asit tespiti için serum, plazma, idrar, dışkı, gastrik lavaj gibi solunum dışı örnekler de kullanılmaktadır (8) .…”

Solunum yolu enfeksiyonları mortalite, morbiditeye neden olan önemli sağlık sorunlarından biridir. Bu çalışma, yoğun bakım ünitelerindeki hastaların trakeal aspirat örneklerinde üreyen mikroorganizmaların belirlenmesi ve sıklıkla izole edilen bakterilerin antimikrobiklere direnç profillerinin tespiti amacıyla plânlanmıştır. Yöntem: Yoğun bakım ünitelerinden 2018-2020 yılları içinde mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarına gönderilen ve patojen pozitif olarak bulunan 14.144 trakeal aspirat örneğinden izole edilen bakteri çeşitliliği ve bu bakterilerin antimikrobiyal dirençleri retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Hasta bilgileri ve laboratuvar verileri Sisoft Sağlık Bilgi Sistemlerinden alınarak bilgisayar ortamından aktarılmıştır. Bakterilerin tanısı rutin yöntemlerle; antibiyotik dirençleri disk difüzyon yöntemi ya da VITEK® 2 cihazı ile otomatize duyarlılık test sistemiyle araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Trakeal aspiratların %66.0'sında gram negatif, %34.0'ünde gram pozitif bakteri üredi. Koagülaz negatif stafilokoklar (%20.1), en sık üreyen bakteriler olmuş bunu Pseudomonas aeruginosa (%19.2), Klebsiella pneumoniae (%17.5), Acinetobacter baumannii (%14.5) ve Staphylococcus aureus (%6.5) takip etmiştir. Gram negatif bakterilerde imipenem, meropenem, amikasin; gram pozitiflerde linezolid ve tetrasiklin en etkili antibiyotiklerdi. Gram negatif bakteriler en yüksek direnci amoksosilin/klavulonik asit, piperasilin ve seftazidime göstermiştir. Gram pozitiflerden stafilokoklar en yüksek direnci penisilin, eritromisin ve trimetoprimsulfametoksazole; enterokoklar SXT'ye ve S. agalactiae tetrasiklin ve gentamisine karşı göstermişlerdir. Sonuç: Trakeal aspiratlardan sık izole edile bakterilerin tedavide kullanılan antibiyotiklere yüksek oranda dirençli oluşu tedavi seçeneklerini kısıtlayan ve enfeksiyon kontrol önlemlerinin dikkate alınmasını gerektiren bir sonuçtur.
