    Cavitary pulmonary lesion due to systemic lupus erythematosus: An unusual manifestation
    (Professional Medical Publications, 2011) Maden, Emin; Teke, Turgut; Uzun, Kursat
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease of unknown pathogenesis. In this abstract we report a 34 years old female SLE case with cavitary pulmonary lesion as the pulmonary manifestation. In literature, SLE with cavitary pulmonary lesion is reported very rarely and thought to be due to infection or pulmonary embolism. Our case had no signs of infection and no finding of pulmonary embolism, the lesion resolved by steroid therapy and without antibiotic administration. In conclusion SLE should be thought in differential diagnosis of cavitary pulmonary lesions.

    (Aves, 2010) Teke, Turgut; Yavuz, Zuhal; Atalay, Huseyin; Maden, Emin; Solak, Yalcin; Uzun, Kursat
    with an incidence of 40%. The incidence of urosepsis occurs in approximately 16% of the ICU patient populations. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a silver coated urinary catheter in prevention of catheter-associated UTI. Material and Methods: We investigated 21 patients (mean age with 71.4 +/- 9.0 year and 14 M, 7 F) foley silicon urinary catheter and 20 patients (mean age with 67.6 +/- 8.7 year and 15 M, 5 F) with silver coated urinary catheter. In all patients, foley urinary catheters were changed with silver coated catheter in critical care unit. Results: The most common cause of infection was Klebsiella (33%). The susceptibility of gram negative microorganisms against antimicrobial agents were amicacin, piperacillin-tazobactam and carbapenem. The cost of antibiotic was higher in foley catheter group than silver coated group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Silver coated urinary catheter is expensive, it is cost effect according to urinary infection and antibiotic cost.
