Hence, this study aimed to determine the clinical skills and knowledge required by clinical microbiologists. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between June 1, 2010 and September 15, 2010 in 32 ID departments in Turkey. Only patients hospitalized and followed up in the ID departments between January-June 2010 who required consultation with other disciplines were included. Results: A total of 605 patients undergoing 1343 consultations were included, with pulmonology, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, dermatology, haematology, and endocrinology being the most frequent consultation specialties. The consultation patterns were quite similar and were not affected by either the nature of infections or the critical clinical status of ID patients. Conclusions: The results of our study show that certain internal medicine subdisciplines such as pulmonology, neurology and dermatology appear to be the principal clinical requisites in the training of ID specialists, rather than internal medicine as a whole.Publication Demographic characteristics and transmission risk factors of patients with hepatitis c virus in Turkey: The EPI-C, a multicenter and cross-sectional trial(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2021-09-21) Tabak, Fehmi; Şirin, Göktuğ; Demir, Mehmet; Aladağ, Murat; Sümer, Sua; Kurtaran, Behice; Tosun, Selma; Yamazhan, Tansu; Bozkurt, İlkay; Gürbüz, Yunus; Batirel, Ayşe; Senateş, Ebubekir; Kandemir, Fatma Özlem; Topal, Firdevs; Doğanay, Hamdi Levent; Sezgin, Orhan; Mıstık, Reşit; Köse, Sükran; Yılmaz, Yusuf; İnan, Dilara; Köksal, İftihar; Parlak, Emine; Akdoğan, Meral; Güner, Rahmet; Mıstık, Reşit; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları ve Klinik Mikrobiyoloji Kliniği.; 0000-0002-1548-8526; DFY-3761-2022Objectives: To describe the prevalence of risk factors in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV).Materials and Methods: Patients who were aged >18 years visiting outpatient clinics and diagnosed as having HCV infection were enrolled in this cross-sectional, multicenter study conducted in 71 cities. Patient data on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and pre-defined risk factors were collected.Results: Among 1,018 patients, 53.0% were women. The mean age was 57.2 +/- 14.3 years and 34.8% had been diagnosed as having HCV infection >10 years before enrollment. Almost half of the patients (45.5%) were diagnosed during their regular check-up visits, and only 16.8% were diagnosed because of signs or symptoms of HCV. Genotype 1 and sub-genotype 1 b were detected in 87.9% and 73.7% of the patients, respectively. At least one risk factor was present in 94.8% of the patients. The most frequently reported risk factor was major dental procedures (79.2%), followed by major surgical operations (56.9%) and minor surgical interventions (42.3%).Conclusion: Our results revealed that most of the patients with HCV infection underwent major dental procedures.
