Abstract
Amaç: Onikomikoz erişkinlerde sık rastlanan bir tırnak hastalığı olmakla birlikte çocuklarda nadiren görülür. Bu çalışmada çocuklardaki onikomikoz sıklığı araştırıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: İstanbul'da Fındıkzade ve Mahmutbey ilkokullarında öğrenim gören 7-12 yaşları arasındaki 936 (461'i erkek, 475'i kız) çocuğun el ve ayak tırnakları muayene edilerek şüpheli 19 olgudan mikroskop ile direk mantar incelemesi ve mantar kültürü yapıldı. Bulgular: Direkt mikroskobi ile mantar incelemesinde sadece bir olguda mantar hifleri görüldü, şüpheli olguların mantar kültüründe ise hiçbir üreme saptanmadı. Direkt mikroskobik mantar incelemesi pozitif olan dokuz yaşındaki erkek olgunun klinik muayenesinde sağ ayak baş-parmak tırnağında subungual hiperkeratoz, sarımsı-siyah renk değişikliği ve onikolizis mevcuttu. Bu değişiklikler iki yıl önce geçirilen bir travma sonrasında başlamıştı. Sonuç: Çocuklarda onikomikoz nadiren saptanmakla birlikte, hastalığın çocuklarda da görülebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Çünkü erken tanı ve tedavi enfeksiyon kaynağını elimine etmek ve distrofiyi önlemek açısından önemlidir.
