    Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate candida colonization in children with cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: In the study, 71 patients who were diagnosed as cerebral palsy and 40 healthy children were included at the Child Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Faculty of Medicine, Mustafa Kemal University, between March and December 2011. The smear samples from four regions which were oral, axillary, inguinal and antecubital areas. Results: Within the investigated areas, it was found that the most common colonized region was mouth and the most frequent species was Candida albicans both the patients with cerebral palsy and control groups. When two groups were compared, it was seen that the colonization in the mouth was significantly different in both groups and the antibiotic usage in patients with cerebral palsy was associated with an increased colonization of the mouth and inguinal region. Conclusion: In patients with cerebral palsy, the use of antibiotics especially may predispose to colonization of candida which is more prominent in the mouth. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.

    Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of Pediculus capitis (P. capitis) in Pediatric Neurology outpatients. Materials and Metods: The study included total of 110 children between the ages 1-16, 39 male (35.5%) and 71 females (64.5%) who were referred to our hospital Pediatric Neurology outpatient clinic between March-May 2012. Children's hair, especially the back of the head and the neck were examined for adult lice, nymphs and eggs, and in order to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of families a questionaire was filled. Results: P. capitis infestation was detected in 3 male (2.7%), 34 female (30.9%) patients totally in 37 patients (33.6%) in our study. The incidence of parasites when the subjects were compared in terms of gender, significant differences were found in girls. When P. capitis infestation compared to the family's level of monthly income, the father's education level and occupation, was statistically significant but no significant correlation was found with the mother's education level occupation, the frequency of bathing. Conclusion: As a result, due to use of the common items for examinations and investigations in a hospital environment and with close contact P. capitis infection transmission should be considered. Therefore, we concluded that the health screenings must be done for head lice and when the subjects were treatment and education of the patients who are positive. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.
