Approach to the Child with Recurrent Infections

Family practitioners and pediatricians often come across with children who are presented with the recurrent complaints of becoming sick. Although families worry about the underlying serious disorders, aproximately half of these children are completely healthy where as one third of them are atopic. Recurrent infections are the main features of the childhood presentation of primary immunodeficiency diseases. The primary duty of the physicians is to differentiate the children requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment from those healthy and the atopic ones.

Keywords: Child, recurrent infection, immune deficiency

Sık Hastalanan Çocuğa Yaklaşım

Murat Sütçü, Manolya Kara, Ayper Somer

Aile hekimleri ve pediyatristler sık hastalanma yakınması ile başvuran çocuklarla sık olarak karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Başka bir açıdan bakmak gerekirse aileler altta yatan ciddi hastalıklar hakkında endişe duymaktadırlar. Bu çocukların yaklaşık yarısı tamamıyla sağlıklı iken, 1/3’ü atopiktir. Primer immün yetmezliğin çocukluk çağı ana bulgusu yineleyen infeksiyonlardır. Hekimlerin ana görevi hızlı tanı ve tedavisi gereken primer immün yetmezlikli çocukları sağlıklı ve atopik çocuklardan ayırmaktır.

Keywords: Çocuk, sık hastalanma, immün yetmezlik
