Özet
Amaç: Ocak 2005-Aralık 2015 yılları arasında Gaziantep Halk Sağlığı Müdürlüğü'nden alınan veriler kullanılarak sıtmalı hastaların epidemiyolojik verilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Kan örnekleri daha önce sıtma görülmüş bölgelerde ve Fırat Havzası’nda yaşayan şüpheli olgulardan ve geçici tarım işçilerinden; bakanlığın isteği ile de Islahiye, Nizip ve Karkamış’taki çadır kentlerde yaşayanlardan alındı. Olgular yaş ve cinsiyet özelliklerinin yanı sıra importe olgu olup olmadıklarına, saptanan parazit türüne ve aylara göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Toplam 184,305 kişiden kan örneği alındı, 31 sıtma olgusu saptandı ve pozitiflik oranının %0,017 olduğu belirlendi. Hastaların 5’i (%16,3) yerli olgu iken, 2’si (%6,5) nüks ve 24’ü (%77,2) importe olgu olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: İlimizde yapılan çalışmada en son 2005 yılında yerli yeni olgu görüldü. Bundan sonraki yıllarda nüksler ve yurtdışı kaynaklı olgular görülmüş olup bu durum; ulaşımın kolaylaşması ile turistik ve ticari ilişkilerin artmasına bağlandı. Bölgemizde bulunan çadır kentlerde yaşayan kişilerden alınan örneklerde pozitifliğe rastlanmaması olumlu olmakla birlikte yeni oluşabilecek epidemilere karşı da tedbirli olunması ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerektiği kanaatindeyiz.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the epidemiological data of malaria cases by using the data of Gaziantep Public Health Directorate between January 2005 and December 2015. Methods: Blood samples were taken from suspicious cases and temporary agricultural workers living in the Fırat Watershed and in areas in where malaria was seen before and in the tent cities of Islahiye, Nizip and Karkamış by request of the ministry. The cases were evaluated in terms of age, gender, detected malaria species, months when malaria was detected, and whether they were imported cases. Results: Thirty-one malaria cases were detected in blood samples taken from 184.305 patients. The malaria positivity rate was determined as 0.017%. Five of the patients (16.3%) were indigenous; 2 (6.5%) were cases with relapse and 24 cases (77.2%) were imported. Conclusion: In our study, we last saw a new indigenous case in 2005. In the following years , cases with relapses and cases originating from abroad were seen, which was linked to the ease of transportation and the increase in touristic and commercial relations. Although lack of malaria in the samples taken from people living in tent cities in our region is favorable, necessary measures should be taken against new epidemics.
