Incidence of Coronavirus-2 in cerebrospinal fluid in pregnant Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with neurological symptoms.

Background: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of pregnant women with neurological symptoms due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Materials And Methods: This research was carried out in the Samsun University. Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation from December 2021 to May 2022.

The first serological detection of West Nile virus infection among residents living in northern Turkey.

Background & Objectives: West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted by a mosquito-borne virus whose natural reservoir is birds. Humans and horses are considered accidental hosts. Even if the vast majority of WNV infections in humans have asymptomatic or mild disease settings, serious neurological disorders with lethal outcomes can also be observed in around 1% of the cases.

A prevalence study of COVID-19 among healthcare workers in a pandemic hospital in the Samsun province of Turkey.

Among populations globally, many healthcare workers have been disproportionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic because of their above average exposure to people infected with SARS-CoV-2. Exposure to asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals is particularly challenging, if those individuals continue to work, not knowing that they are potentially infectious. This study aimed to measure the level of asymptomatic infection in a cohort of workers in a healthcare setting in Turkey during the second major wave of infection in late 2020.

Genotype Distribution and Prevalence of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection among Women in Samsun Province of Turkey.

Background: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important public health problem that can cause cervical cancer. HPVs were classified into high-risk (HR-HPV) and low-risk (LR-HPV) types. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and genotype distribution of HR-HPV infection in Samsun province in Turkey.

[Evaluation of Patients Diagnosed with COVID-19 in Terms of Risk Factors].

Coronaviruses are RNA viruses that can cause disease in the upper and lower respiratory tract in humans and animals. Lately, a new coronavirus causing pneumonia cases was detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Soon after, the name of the virus was identified as the "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2", and the World Health Organization named the disease coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

[Brucellosis as a cause of hemophagocytic syndrome].

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare syndrome of excessive inflammation and tissue destruction due to abnormal immune activation and inflammation. HLH can occur primarily due to genetic etiology, or secondarily associated with malignancies, autoimmmune diseases or infections. There are a number of reports that revealed the relationship of hemophagocytosis with brucellosis.
