Erzurum’da üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarında A grubu beta hemolitik streptokok insidansı

Amaç: Erzurum’da üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarında A grubu beta hemolitik streptokok AGBHS insidansı araştırıldı.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmada Erzurum’da Ocak 2006 - Aralık 2006 tarihleri arasında 4112 üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonlu hastadan 1989 erkek, 2123 kadın; ort. yaş 21±1.5 yıl; dağılım 14-46 yıl boğaz sürüntü örneği alındı ve AGBHS izolasyonu için kültür yapıldı.Bulgular: Bu çalışmada hastaların 268’inde %6.51 AGBHS izole edildi. İlkbaharda 941 hastanın 51’inde %5.42 , yazın 592 hastanın 23’ünde %3.88 , sonbaharda 968 hastanın 69’unda %7.13 ve kışın 1611 hastanın 125’inde %7.76 AGBHS izole edildi. A grubu beta hemolitik streptokok izole edilen hastaların 128’i %6.43 erkek, 140’ı %6.59 kadın idi. Ki-kare testinde Alfa değeri p=0.01 ve p=0.05 aralığında mevsimler arasında enfeksiyon frekansında anlamlı farklılık saptandı p0.05 .Sonuç: Erzurumda saptanan AGBHS insidansı, diğer ülkelerden daha düşük idi. Mevsimler arasında frekans yönünden önemli farklılıklar vardı p

The incidence of group A beta haemolytic streptococci in upper respiratory tract infections in Erzurum

Objectives: The incidence of group A beta hemolytic streptococci GABHS in upper respiratory tract infections in Erzurum was investigated. Patients and Methods: In this descriptive study throat swabs were obtained from 4112 patients 1989 males, 2123 females; mean age 21±1.5 years; range 14 to 46 years with upper respiratory tract infections in Erzurum, Turkey between January 2006 and December 2006 and they were cultured for isolation of GABHS. Results: In this study GABHS were isolated in 268 6.51% of patients. Group A beta hemolytic streptococci were isolated in 51 of 941 patients 5.42% in the spring, in 23 of 592 patients 3.88% in the summer, in 69 of 968 patients 7.13% in the autumn, and in 125 of 1611 patients in the winter. Of those patients in whom GABHS were isolated, 128 6.43% were male and 140 6.59% were female. At Chi square test, Range for alpha value, p=0.01 and p=0.05 there was a significant difference in the frequency of infection between the seasons p0.05 . Conclusion: The incidence of GABHS detected in Erzurum was lower than that in other countries. There were statistically significant differences in frequency between the seasons p
