dc.description.abstractObjective: The purpose of this study was to look at the seasonal distribution, age and gender distribution, and eosinophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte values according to age and gender in cases of insect bites that were brought to the emergency room over the course of a year. Materials and method: Retrospective analysis was performed on patients who were brought to the emergency room between 1.12.2021 and 1.12.2022 and had the ICD code W57 (Diagnosis Code - Bitten or stung by Nonvenomous Insects and Other Nonvenomous Arthropods). The following values were noted: age, gender, presenting season, CRP, Leukocyte, Platelet, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Eosinophil, INR, PTZ, and Aptt levels. Findings: The study comprised a total of 694 patients—308 females and 386 males. The patients were 39.81 16.42 years old on average. Spring saw 9.4% of the patients, summer saw 67%, and fall saw 23.6%. According to the patients' gender, there were significant differences in the eosinophil (t:-3.535; p:0.0010.01) and monocyte (t:-4.909; p:0.0010.01) values. Regarding the season in which the patients were admitted, significant differences in lymphocyte (F:7.045; p:0.0010.01) and monocyte (F:3.208; p:0.0410.05) values were discovered. When the disparities in eosinophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte values were evaluated in relation to the patients' ages, significant differences in monocyte values were discovered (F:2.552; p:0.0270.05). Result: We commonly see insect bites in emergency rooms, which we can usually cure with straightforward remedies or occasionally without treatment, but in some unfortunate circumstances, we may have to deal with major issues and allergic responses (4). Almost little studies have been done on the seasonal distribution and evaluation of blood tests according to age and gender, despite the fact that there are many studies on this topic in the literature. We think that more study on this topic is necessary.
