Pleural Empyema in Children: A Review of 85 Cases
Mustafa Ertuğrul, Ayper Somer, Selda Hançerli Törün, Nuran Salman, Nezahat Gürler, Tansu Salman, Ensar Yekeler, Alaaddin ÇelikWe concluded that appropriate antibiotics with early closed-chest tube drainage are adequate to achieve clinical and physiologic resolution. Patients referred late to the hospital may require further surgical intervention. The long term prognosis is excellent.
Çocuklarda Plevral Ampiyem: Seksen Beş Vakanın Değerlendirilmesi
Mustafa Ertuğrul, Ayper Somer, Selda Hançerli Törün, Nuran Salman, Nezahat Gürler, Tansu Salman, Ensar Yekeler, Alaaddin ÇelikPlevral ampiyemli tanısı alan çocuklar erken tanı konulduğunda uygun antibiyotik tedavisi ve gerekli vakalarda kapalı toraks tüp drenajı ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilmektedirler. Ancak, kronik ampiyem evresinde gelen gecikmiş vakalarda dekortikasyon girişimi gerekmektedir. Dekortikasyon gerektiren vakalarda da prognoz son derece iyidir.
