    (2022) Ozge Yilmaz; Hasan Yüksel; duygu lulecidagli; Seda Tunca
    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the Herpes-viridae family, is a microorganism could be present in various clinical presentations, from upper respiratory\rtract infection findings to asymptomatic liver function test elevation, from facial paralysis to angioedema. This case report has been prepared to emphasize\rEBV infection as a rare factor in the etiology of angioedema.

    Aim: The aim of our study was to compare clinical severity scores and classic spirometry with impulse oscillometry (IOS) results and thoracic high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scores in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) in order to determine the utility of the latter approach in patient follow-up. Materials and Methods: CF patients over 6 years of age were included. Shwachman-Kulczycki score, underclassical spirometry and IOS were performed when not in acute exacerbation. Thoracic HRCT images obtained within the previous 6 months were evaluated using the Bhalla scoring system. Results: The mean age of the children studied (n=30) was 12.1±4.2 years and 40% were female. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeroginosa) was isolated from sputum cultures of 40% of the patients. Patients with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) below 80% exhibited significantly higher (resistance) R5, R10 values and significantly lower (reactance) X5 values on IOS (p=0.03, 0.027, 0.006, respectively). Patients with P. aeruginosa had significantly lower FEV1, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory flow (25-75) values in classic spirometry when compared with patients without P. aeruginosa (p=0.002, p=0.002, and p=0.005, respectively). P. aeruginosa-positive patients showed significantly higher R5 and lower X5 values (p=0.047, 0.046, respectively). Bhalla scoring, bronchiectasis weight, peribronchial thickening, mucous plaques, saccularization, bronchial division, mosaic pattern parameters in groups with P. aeroginosa growth and/or FEV1 <80%; was found to be significantly more serious than the non-reproductive group (p<0.005, respectively). Again, in the group with P. aeroginosa growth, Shwachman-Kulczycki score was found to be significantly lower (p=0.001). No significant correlation was found between thoracic score data such as bronchiectasis weight and mosaic pattern presence and IOS values. In addition, in the group with high clinical score of Shwachman Kulczycki, resistance values such as R5 R10 R15 which are IOS parameters, and FEV1 were found above 80% (p=0.016, p=0.037, p=0.042, 0.004, respectively). Conclusion: IOS and tomographic scoring can be used safely in early detection of impairment in lung function. Further studies are needed to evaluate the utility of IOS in the clinical monitoring of children with CF who are not compliant with spirometry maneuvers.

    Is Allergic Rhinitis Associated With Enuresis Nocturna In Childhood ?
    (2023) ADEM YASAR; Ozge Yilmaz; Hasan Yüksel
    Objektive:Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of non-infectious rhinitis and is manifested with the symptoms of nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal discharge, and itching. Primary enuresis nocturna is involuntary urination while asleep after five years, at which bladder control usually begins. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between allergic rhinitis and primary enuresis nocturna in childhood in this research. Methods:We included 300 children with allergic rhinitis and 300 control cases between the age of 5 and 17 years. With allergic rhinitis cases, age, gender, body mass index percentile, other allergic disorders, allergic rhinitis diagnosis age, allergic rhinitis severity and distribution, presence of primary enuresis nocturna, and presence of primary enuresis nocturna in the family were recorded. Subjects with disorders causing enuresis were excluded from the study. Results: The mean age in the allergic rhinitis and control groups was 9.6 ± 3.4 vs. 10.0 ± 3.1 years, respectively (p=0.15). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, body mass index percentile, and primary enuresis nocturna presence in the family (p=0.29, p=0.15, p=0.46, p=0.17; respectively). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in allergic rhinitis cases (p=0.02). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in boys than in girls (p=0.007). There is a significant difference in age and gender between those with and without primary enuresis nocturna in allergic rhinitis groups (p=0.001, p=0.01, respectively) Conclusion: We conclude that as allergic rhinitis increases the incidence of primary enuresis nocturna and worsens the quality of life, its treatment should not be neglected.
