Abstract:

Influenza is a global health threat that can lead to pandemic disease and death. This study aims to assess the distribution of viral factors in hospitalized patients with the diagnosis of influenza-like diseases, the assessment of mortality with the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, and the assessment of which symptoms are more noticeable. The study included 502 cases treated with pre-diagnosis of influenza in January-May 2016. In this study, which was designed in a characteristic quality, the data was obtained by the active monitoring method. Multiplex PCR method was used to identify the samples of nasopharyngeal scratch taken from patients. In the analysis of the data, the SPSS 21 program was used.   Results: in 336 of the cases (66 percent). 9) Different viral factors have been detected and frequently H1N1 (45.0%) virus has been detected. 53.6% of the cases were men, 36% between the ages of 18 and 65 and 3.6% were pregnant. 16.1 percent of patients were followed in the intensive care unit. The average deposit time in YBU is 14.4±22.9 (min:1-max:114) days. 18 patients with mechanical ventilation remained in the MV for an average of 21.5±27.3 (2-113) days. 24.1 per cent of the patients followed in the YBU were lost. More than 65 years of age (27.6 percent), influenza A group virus detected (8.3 percent), in intensive care unit (24.2 percent) and in patients with mechanical ventilator support (72.2 percent) the death rate was higher (p<0.05 percent). The symptoms of the application were consistently coughing (88.4 percent), fever (79.8 percent) and respiratory failure (52.7 percent) respectively. Fever in Influenza A (81.6%) and headache (34%) 6), headache (%45.2) and anguish (%62.7) are more observed (p<0.05). Results: Surveillance studies at the hospital show that influenza may be important not only in pandemic periods, but also in seasonal periods. It can also contribute to the more realistic determination of the burden of the disease at national level.
