Abstract
ÖZET
Kendine zarar verme davranışı (KZVD) önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Özellikle genç yaş grubunda sıklıkla
kendini kesme, deriyi kazıma, yakma benzeri eylemler şeklinde izlenir. Kan emme, kan içme ile tanımlanan
farklı bir KZVD türü olan vampirizm bugüne kadar çok az sayıda olguda bildirilmiştir. Bu tür davranışları
olan olguların önemli bir bölümünde psikotik bozukluk, kişilik bozuklukları, zeka geriliği, madde kullanım
bozukluğu, dissosiyatif kimlik bozukluğu, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu gibi diğer ruhsal bozuklukların da
bulunduğu da rapor edilmiş olsa da, vampirizmin psikiyatrik yönü, eş tanılı ruhsal bozukluklar ile ilişkisi ve
tedavi yaklaşımları tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmada çocukluk döneminden bu yana kendisinden
ya da arkadaşlarından aldığı kanı içme davranışı olduğu öğrenilen 19 yaşındaki erkek hasta, klinik öyküsü ve
tedavi yaklaşımları literatür bulguları ışığında sunulmuştur.

ABSTRACT
Self-harming behavior (SHB) is an important public health problem. Especially in the young age group, it is
frequently observed as self-cutting, scraping the skin and burning. To date, vampirism, a different type of
SHB defined as blood sucking and blood drinking, has been reported in a few cases. Although it has been
reported in significant number of cases with such behaviors such as psychotic disorder, personality disorders, mental retardation, substance abuse, dissociative identity disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder,
the psychiatric aspect of vampirism, relationship with comorbid disorders, and treatment approaches are
not fully known. In this study, a 19-year-old male patient, who applied to our psychiatry outpatient clinic
with irritability, complaints about having problems with his environment, and drinking blood by getting him
or his friends since childhood, presented with his clinical history and treatment approaches in the light of
the literature.
