Abstract
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a time-dependent, easily applied and a commonly used laboratory test by scientists to determine diagnosis and prognosis measuring the sedimentation rate of red blood cells. In this study we investigated the diagnostic profiles and diseases of children with very high sedimentation rates. The files of the patients hospitalized at the Department of Pediatrics were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, diagnosis and hospitalization length of children with a sedimentation rate over 100 mm/h were recorded and analyzed. Sixty six patients were included in the study. The mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 111.42±14.83 mm/h. When the distribution according to the disease groups was analyzed, the highest rate (54.5%) was of infectious diseases. Of all the patients, 16.7% and 12.1% were in the groups of a rheumatismal disease and a kidney disease, respectively. Among the infectious diseases, pneumonia was the most commonly encountered diagnosis in 9 patients (25%). Among the patients with rheumatologic diseases, acute rheumatic fever was the most frequently encountered diagnosis (45.5%). Acute pyelonephritis was the most common diagnosis encountered in patients with kidney diseases (50%). High erythrocyte sedimentation rates were most commonly associated with infectious diseases.

Key words: Child, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, clinical diagnosis



Çocuklarda eritrosit sedimantasyon hızını 100 mm/saat'in üzerine çıkaran hastalıkların incelenmesi

Özet
Eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı, eritrositlerin çökme derecesini ölçen, zaman bağımlı, kolay uygulanan, tanı ve prognozu belirlemede hekimler tarafından oldukça sık kullanılan bir laboratuvar yöntemidir. Bu çalışmada çocuklarda sedimantasyon hızının çok yükseldiği durumlardaki tanı profilini ve hastalıkları inceledik. GATF Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Kliniğine yatışı yapılan hastaların dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı 100 mm/saat'in üzerinde olanların yaş, cinsiyet, sedimantasyon hızı, tanılar ve yatış süreleri kaydedilerek analizi yapıldı. Çalışmaya 66 hasta dahil edildi. Ortalama eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı 111.42±14.83 mm/saat olarak bulundu. Hastalık gruplarına göre dağılım incelendiğinde hastalarda en yüksek oranı enfeksiyon hastalıkları (%54.5) oluşturuyordu. Hastaların %16.7'si romatizmal hastalıklar ve %12.1'i ise böbrek hastalıkları grubundaydı. Enfeksiyon hastalıklarından en sık karşımıza çıkan hastalık 9 hastada saptanan (%25) pnömoni idi. Romatizmal hastalıklardan en sık karşımıza çıkan akut romatizmal ateş (%45.5) tanısıydı. Böbrek hastalıkları grubunda ise en sık olarak akut piyelonefrit tanısı (%50) vardı. Eritrosit sedimantasyon hızının yüksekliği en sık enfeksiyon hastalıkları ile ilişkili olarak bulunmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Çocuk, eritrosit sedimantasyon hızı, klinik tanı
