    COVID-19: A current brief review
    (Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2020) Keşkek, Şakir; Erdoğan, Haluk
    Coronavirus infection has become an important public health concern because of its increasing prevalence, serious complications and mortality. The previous pathogenic coronaviruses severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) were mortal virus infections in past 15 years. Today the current epidemic caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) is called coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). The virus causes different illness, from upper respiratory tract infections like the common cold, to lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and SARS. The coronavirus can be transmitted through small infected droplets from a person with COVID-19 during coughs or exhales. Additionally, it can also be transmitted from contaminated environment or objects. A number of precautions to prevent transmission of COVID-19 have been applied to stop the current outbreak. There is no certain treatment of the disease but the studies on vaccines and treatment continue. In this review, we aimed to give a brief information about COVID-19.

    Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Brucellosis Coinfection in Antalya: A Case Report
    (2023) Erdoğan, Aşkın; Erdoğan, Haluk
    The combination of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and brucellosis is unusual and can easily go unnoticed. Herein we report a case of CCHF and brucellosis coinfection and review the pertinent literature. The presented case occurred in Alanya, where the non-endemic region of CCHF and critical bradycardia was present during the course. As Alanya is a tourism center and tours are given in the rural areas surrounding the city, it is essential to watch for possible signs of CCHF in patients.

    Immunization Status in Hospitalized Patients With Diagnosis of Covid-19
    (Aydin Adnan Menderes University, 2023) Alpay, Ali Seydi; Erdoğan, Haluk; Erdoğan, Aşkın; Özen, Naciye
    Objective: COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is an acute respiratory disease. Studies conducted with the ongoing vaccine implementations all over the world have shown that vaccination significantly reduces hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 disease. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the vaccination status of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and the severity of the disease in our hospital.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by questioning the vaccination status of patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of COVID-19 in Alanya Aladdin Keykubat University Education and Research Hospital on 25.08.2021. Information such as the risk factors, vaccination status, and length of hospital stay of the patients at the time of admission were recorded in the prepared forms.Results: Only one fourth of the patients were fully vaccinated. It was observed that 56.1% of the patients were not vaccinated against COVID-19. It was observed that 76.1% of the 15-49 age group and 37% of the 65 and older patient group were unvaccinated (p<0.05). The mean hospital stay was 8 days in fully vaccinated patients, 10 days in unvaccinated patients, 14 days in vaccinated patients who were under-vaccinated and required a booster dose (p<0.05). The mean age of the patients hospitalized in the ward was 54.19±18.34, in the ICU was 61.29±16.18 (p<0.05). Conclusion: In fully vaccinated patients, the length of hospital stay was short and ICU hospitalization rates were low. The fact that about a quarter of the patients are fully vaccinated suggests the possibility of variant viruses that escaped the vaccine.

    In-Hospital Cardiac Complications in Legionnaires’ disease: A Single Center Experience of 32 Patients
    (2021) Akıncı, Sinan; Çoner, Ali; Erdoğan, Haluk
    Introduction: Legionella species frequently causes Legionnaires’ disease (LD), a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Although data on cardiac events during the course of CAP can be found in the literature, there has been little research on the same issue in LD patients specifically. This study aimed to investigate cardiac complications in the course of LD. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 patients hospitalized with CAP and who received a definitive diagnosis of Legionella infection were identified from the hospital database and included in the study population. The patients’ electronic and written records were evaluated for possible cardiac complications. Results: Mean age was 65±13.5 years and 50% of the subjects were males. Seven patients died during hospitalization. Cardiovascular events were detected in 11 patients. New-onset atrial fibrillation was the most frequent event and was detected in 8 patients (25%), while two patients experienced a myocardial infarction, and one patient was diagnosed with myocarditis. The cardiovascular events were significantly related to the pneumonia severity index (PSI) score and need for intensive care unit. Conclusion: Although LD rarely involves the heart, it can often cause cardiac complications, and the frequency increases in parallel with the severity of the disease. This study indicates that patients with LD should be carefully followed for possible cardiac complications.

    Infectious disease specialists’ knowledge of antibiotic governance and activities related to the use of antibiotics in hospitals
    (Nobelmedicus, 2019) Erdoğan, Haluk; Karabay, Oğuz
    Objective: In our country, the use of antibiotics has been limited and Infectious Disease Specialist (ID) approval for the use of several antibiotics have been compulsory. The aims of this study are to identify the effectiveness of Infectious Disease Specialists on antibiotic policy and their judgement for antibiotic governance. Materials and Method: A survey was created for the study. The surveys were filled in two different ways. The first way was by e-mailing the online survey link to the members of the Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialty Society of Turkey (EKMUD) between March and April 2017 through Google Drive. The other way was in May 2018 during the EKMUD congrees, when the surveys were given to the ID participants for them to fill. An additional question to the congrees survey form was added about whether the survey answerer had filled the online form before or not. The responses were collected accordingly. Results: A total of 231 surveys were used in the study. Of these, 69.3% were members of Infection Control Committee and 64.9% were working at a university hospital. 60.6% of responders thought that they took enough responsibility for antibiotic use. The one out of third of the rest expressed using antibiotics that didn’t require ID approval after the drugs that required approval were denied for use, which was followed by the distribution of such antibiotics in the hospital pharmacy without ID approval (22.1%). 47.2% thought they were competent in antimicrobial stewardship both theoretically and in practical life. 117 (50.6%), surveyors believed they had room for improvement, and 5 (2.2%) found themseles inadequate. When comparing according to the employees and non-employees in a university hospital or the Infection Control Comittee members and non-members, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the answers to the question of being competent in antimicrobial stewardship both theoretically and in practical life. Conclusion: This study shows that infectious disease specialists need postgraduate education for antibiotic governance and that they are not fully equipped. A serious duty falls on the shoulders of associations and ID’s. © 2019, Nobelmedicus. All rights reserved.
