    Several studies have shown gender differences in prevalence of asthma but there is little information about asthma control. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of gender on asthma control in adult asthmatics. Medical records of 242 patients older than 18 years of age who regularly visited the allergy unit were evaluated. Standardized asthma questionnaires like the asthma control test (ACT) were performed. ACT scores, clinical characteristics, and demographic data such as smoking status, education, duration and severity of asthma, atopic status, family history of asthma, analgesic hypersensitivity, number of emergency visits, and hospitalization in the previous year were compared based on gender. In this study, 77.3% of the patients were female. Mean age, body mass index, and duration of asthma were 39.0 +/- 0.7, 27.3 +/- 0.3, and 6.6 +/- 0.4 years, respectively. Of the total, 14.9% of the patients were smokers. Also, 55.8% of them were graduated from middle school, 22.7% from high school, and 14% from university. Atopy rate was 57%. Analgesic hypersensitivity was found in 18.6% of them. There was 30.2% family history of asthma. The asthma severity was mild in 45.5%, moderate in 40.9%, and severe in 13.6% of the patients. One-third of the patients were admitted to emergency room; 1/10th were hospitalized due to asthma in the previous year. ACT scores indicated complete control in 67.8%, partial control in 17.8%, and uncontrolled asthma in 14.5%. Comparing the results of males with females having asthma, there was no statistically significant difference between the two gender according to ACT scores and clinical characteristics. Finally, the results conclude that there was no effect of gender on asthma control assessed with standardized questionnaire in adult asthmatics.

    (2013) Kar, Özlem Kurt; Öner, Ferda Erkekol; Dursun, Adile Berna
    Kronik Eozinofilik Pnömoni (KEP), etyolojisi bilinmeyen nadir bir interstisyel pnömoni olup, alveol duvarında kalınlaşma ile alveoller ve interstitumun her ikisinde eozinofil ve lenfositl erin infiltrasyonu ile karakterizedir. KEP olan hastalarda bazen astım veya diğer atopik hastalık öyküsü vardır, ama tanı için gerekli değildir. Kortikosteroidler çoğu hasta için ilk basamak tedavidir, ama uygun doz ve tedavi süresi hakkında klavuz önermek için çok az bilgi vardır. Hastalık sıklıkla kortikosteroid tedavisi kesildikten sonra nükseder. Burada, astımla başvuran KEP’li 2 kadın hastanın takibi ilgili literatür ışığında rapor edilmiştir.

    Two cases of tracheal disease misdiagnosed as difficult-to-treat asthma
    (2013) Alıcı, İbrahim Onur; Kar Kurt, Özlem; Dursun, Adile Berna; Yılmaz, Aydın; Öner Erkekol, Ferda
    Initial management of patients with difficult-to-treat asthma must begin with confirmation of the diagnosis. We present 2 cases of tracheal disease misdiagnosed as difficult-to-treat asthma. After systemic evaluation, tracheomalacia and tracheobronchial narrowing due to diffuse calcification of the cartilaginous rings were found as mimicking asthma. © 2013 Daedalus Enterprises.
