However, epidemiological studies of VHD have mesine karşın, bu konuda herhangi bir epidemiyolojik veri not been completed until now. The aim of this study is to bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’deki KKH’de klinik, identify the VHD type, clinical, laboratory characteristics, laboratuvar bulguları ve önerilen tedavi yöntemlerinin araş- and treatment methods among VHD patients in Turkey. tırılması amaçlandı.
