Özet:

Purpose: Infection is an infection disease caused by plasmodium-gender parasites, infected by anophelic-gender mosquitoes to humans. Although there is a significant decrease in the number of stumbling events found in our country, stumbling remains important in the world. This study aimed at retrospective assessment of the incidents observed between 2006 and 2015 in our hospital, which is an educational hospital in Istanbul. Instruments and Methods: 15 adult patients monitored in our clinic with a chest diagnosis between January 2006 and January 2015 have been evaluated retrospective in terms of epidemiological characteristics, clinical, laboratory findings, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. All of the events were male. The average age is 30.5. The patient’s average stay period was 7.8 days. In 14 of the cases, foreign travel history (Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan), one was the travel history of the southeastern Anadolu region. None of them had been chemoprophylactic. In 8 of the cases, Plasmodium vivax was detected, in 7 P. falciparum was detected. In clinical and laboratory findings of patients, fever (100%), splenomegali (67%), hepatomegali (46%), anemia (66%), locopene (40%), trombocytopene (100%), height of sedimentation (65%), an increase in liver function tests (53%), an increase in serum creatine (26%). The result: in each fever event with a travel history to endemic areas, the distinctive diagnosis should be ranked first. It is very important for individuals to travel to these areas to apply chemoproflaks and to provide personal protection measures.
