Bu hastalarda yafl, cinsiyet, ortalama gebelik haftas›, anne sütü ile beslenme süresi, vücut ›s›s›, lökosit say›s›, C-reaktif protein (CRP) düzeyi ve yat›r›larak tedavi oran›, RSV negatif hastalardan istatistiksel olarak farkl› bulunmad›. Hastalarda RSV enfeksiyonu en s›k Aral›k ay›nda saptand›. Respiratuvar sinsisyal virüs enfeksiyonu geçiren bebeklerin yo¤un bak›m biriminde yat›r›larak tedavi oran› RSV negatif hasta grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlaml› derecede yüksek bulundu.
Ç›kar›mlar:Bronfliyolit tan›s›yla izlenen iki yafl alt› çocuklarda, RSV s›kl›¤› literatür ile uyumlu olarak %20 bulundu. Respiratuvar sinsisyal virüs enfeksiyonu hastaneye yat›fl oranlar›n› etkilememekle birlikte, RSV pozitif hastalarda solunum deste¤i ihtiyac› nedeniyle yo¤un bak›m biriminde tedavi oran›n›n RSV negatif hastalardan yüksek oldu¤u gözlendi. Bu nedenle bebeklerde ve riskli hasta grubunda RSV enfeksiyonunun a¤›r seyretmesi erken tan› ve koruyucu tedavinin önemini art›rmaktad›r. ( Results: Respiratory syncytial virus antigen in nasopharengeal secretions was positive in 16 (%20) of 79 patients. The age, sex, mean gestational week, duration of breast feeding, fever, mean leukocyte count, C-reactive protein (CRP) level and hospitalization rate were not significantly different between the RSV positive and negative patients. Respiratory syncytial virus infection was frequently detected in December. Intensive care unit admission for advanced respiratory support was found significantly higher in the RSV positive patients.
Conclusions:Respiratory syncytial virus incidence in children younger than two years-old with the diagnosis of bronchiolitis was %20, concordant with the literature. Although hospitalization rate of RSV positive and negatif patients is similar, intensive care unit admission for advanced respiratory support was significantly higher in RSV positive patients. Therefore, as RSV infection in infants and high risk patients has a severe clinical course, this situation increases the importance of early diagnosis and prophylaxis. (Turk Arch Ped 2010; 45: 252-6)
