    (Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2012) Evirgen, Ömer; Motor, Vicdan Köksaldi
    Human brucellosis is still endemic in our country and many regions of the world. Intensity of the disease ise remarkable, especially in some provinces in the southeastern and eastern parts of Anatolia. New rapid diagnostic methods are required to take the result as soon as possible. The accurate diagnosis of chronic brucellosis and its complications, monitoring, and treatment are important. Most importantly, inspection and quality control of the milk and the milk products should be performed as trusthworthy and healthy, since they have primary role in transmission of the disease. © 2012 OMU.

    [The case of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura associated with Blastocystis hominis].
    (2013) Tutanç, Murat; Silfeler, Ibrahim; Ozgür, Tümay; Motor, Vicdan Köksaldi; Kurto?lu, Ahmet Ibrahim
    Blastocystis hominis (B. hominis) is a parasite that often causes gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with immune deficiency and has a controversial pathogenicity in healthy people, although some symptoms are reported outside of the gastrointestinal system in healthy persons. Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) vasculitis is an acute autoimmune disease characterised by IgA storage of small vessels that is believed to include infectious factors in its aetiology. A 30-month follow-up with a boy diagnosed with HSP being treated with steroid therapy showed that he had recurrent symptoms within two days, and B. hominis was detected in the faecal analysis. His symptoms including rash, abdominal pain, and arthritis improved after treatment with steroid and co-trimaksazol. This paper is the first to present a case of HSP associated with B. hominis.

    Comparing seropositivity of HBV, HCV and HIV in health care workers with those admitted to hospital
    (2010) Özer, Burçin; Inci, Melek; Duran, Nizami; Sapan, Eyüp; Alagöz, Gülcan Erkaslan; Motor, Vicdan Köksaldi
    The aim of this study is to compare the seropositivity of HBV, HCV and HIV in health care workers of Mustafa Kemal University Hospital with the people admitted to hospital. In the study 230 health care workers and 499 controls who admitted to the hospital with several complaints, totally 729 people were included between November 2009 and January 2010. hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), HCV antibody (anti-HCV) and HIV antigen and antibody (HIV Ag/Ab) were investigated using electrochemiluminescent immunological method (Elecsys 2010, Roche, Japan) in blood samples obtained from subjects. The seropositivity of HBsAg was found 0.4%, in health care workers while it was found as 5.8% in controls, and the seropositivity of anti-HBs was found 57.8% in health care workers while it was found 37.5 % in controls (p=0.001 and p=0.001). The seropositivity of anti-HCV was found 0.4% in health care workers and 2.6% in patients (p=0.001). The positivity of HIV Ag/Ab was not observed in both groups. The higher seropositivity of HBsAg and Anti-HCV in controls than health care workers showed that infections can be transmitted via blood and body fuids of patients. Higher surface antibody rates in health care workers might be an indicator of success of immunization against hepatitis B. The health care workers should accept all blood and body fuid of patients as contaminated and take necessary preventive measure. © 2010 OMÜ Tüm Haklari Saklidir.
