Neonatal Boğmaca: Vaka Sunumu

Boğmaca, Bordetella pertussis’in neden olduğu, solunum yollarının aşı ile önlenebilir oldukça bulaşıcı bir infeksiyon hastalığıdır. Her yaş grubunda görülmekle birlikte aşı programı tamamlanmamıştır ve özellikle 6 ayın altındaki bebekler ve küçük çocuklarda ağır seyredip hastaneye yatış ve mortaliteye neden olabilmektedir. Boğmaca riskini azaltmak için, ergen ve erişkinleri dolayısıyla bebekleri boğmacadan korumak için, okul öncesi çocuklar ve ergenlere pekiştirme dozlarının uygulanması ve ulusal aşı takvimimize pekiştirme boğmaca aşı dozlarının eklenmesi düşünülmelidir. Bu makalede boğmaca tanısı alan bir yenidoğanın güncel literatürle birlikte sunulması hedeflenmiştir.

Neonatal Pertussis: A Case Report

Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory system infection of Bordetella pertussis which can be prevented with an immunization protocol. Although it can be seen in all age groups, the disease pursues a more severe course resulting in hospital stay and mortality in infants under 6 months and small children who have not completed their vaccination program. In order to reduce the risk of pertussis in adolescents and adults and therefore in infants , booster vaccinations should be administered to pre-school children and adolescents and also inclusion of boosters in the nationwide inoculation program should be considered. This article aims to present the case of a newborn diagnosed with pertussis in the light of the latest literature.
