Yoğun Bakım Hastasında Hepatit C Virüsünün Peg-İnterferon ve Ribavirin ile Tedavisi Atriyoventriküler Nodal Reenteran Taşikardiye Neden Olabilir

Year 2016, Volume: 19 Issue: 2, 120 - 122, 01.08.2016

Abstract











Hepatit C
virüsü (HCV) tedavisinde
peginterferon (Peg-IFN)2b ve ribavirin tedavisi konvansiyonel interferon ve
ribavirin tedavisinden daha etkilidir. Peg-IFN ve ribavirin tedavisinin önemli
etkilerinin yanında ateş, halsizlik, heyecan, huzursuzluk, nötropeni ve trombositopeni
gibi bir çok yan etki görülebilir. Ayrıca kardiyak aritmiler ve senkop gibi
nadir olaylar da
Peg-IFN
tedavisine bağlı gelişebilir. Bizler bu çalışmada
Peg-IFN ve ribavirin tedavisi sırasında presenkop atağı ve
reenteran taşikardilerin en sık formu olan atriyoventriküler nodal reenteran
taşikardi gelişen bir yoğun bakım hastasını sunuyoruz.

Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus with Peginterferon and Ribavirin May Trigger Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in An Intensive Care Unit Patient

Year 2016, Volume: 19 Issue: 2, 120 - 122, 01.08.2016

Abstract











The
treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with peginterferon (Peg-IFN) α2b and
ribavirin is more effective than with conventional interferon and ribavirin.
Despite the important effects of Peg-IFN and ribavirin therapy, many side
effects, such as fever, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, neutropenia and
thrombocytopenia, may be observed. In addition, cardiac arrhythmias and syncope
are rare consequences of Peg-IFN therapy. In this study, we report an intensive
care unit patient who developed atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia
(AVNRT), which is the most common type of reentrant supraventricular
tachycardia, and presyncopal attack during Peg-IFN and ribavirin therapy.
