RESUMO

The practice of excision in girls poses a significant risk to their health. The objective of this study was to determine the immediate acute complications associated with this practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study over a period of 15 months including all girls aged 0-15 years hospitalized for acute complications related to excision within 7 days of the practice in the pediatric department of the University Hospital Gabriel Toure. RESULTS: We collected 17 patient files. The median consultation time was 43 h. The main reason for consultation was post-excision bleeding in 76.4% of the cases. Pallor associated with respiratory distress was found in almost all cases. On admission, four girls (23.5%) were comatose and five girls (29.4%) showed signs of shock. The reasons for hospitalization were hemorrhage associated with post-excisional sepsis (52.9%), complicated shock anemia (23.5%), and severe post-excision anemia (23.5%). The average hemoglobin level was 5.5 g/dL; there was severe anemia in 94.1% of the girls (Hb <7g/dl). All the girls received blood transfusions with red blood cell concentrate. The other treatments received were local care (100%), administration of analgesics (100%), antibiotic therapy (82.4%), and oxygen therapy (41.2%). The outcome was unfavorable in two patients (11.8% deaths). CONCLUSION: This study shows the seriousness of the immediate complications associated with the practice of excision.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) on fresh respiratory samples for the diagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB) in children.METHODS: Between July 2017 and December 2019, children with presumed TB were prospectively enrolled at clinical sites in three African countries. Children were assessed using history, physical examination and chest X-ray. Sputum or gastric aspirate samples were analysed using Ultra and culture. The diagnostic accuracy of Ultra was calculated against culture as the reference standard.RESULTS: In total, 547children were included. The median age was 4.7 years, 77 (14.1%) were HIV infected and 77 (14.1%) had bacteriologically confirmed TB. Ultra detected an additional 20 cases in the group of children with negative culture results. The sensitivity of Ultra was 66.3% (95% CI 47-82), and the specificity was 95.4% (95% CI 89-99) when assessed against culture as the reference standard.CONCLUSION: Despite the improved performance of Ultra as compared to Xpert as was previously reported, its sensitivity remains sub-optimal for the detection of TB in children. Ultra detected additional 20 cases which otherwise could not have been detected by culture alone, suggesting that the latter is an imperfect reference standard.

RESUMO

We report two observations of portal cavernoma diagnosed successively in Bamako and Dakar. The first is a 6-year-old male admitted to the service for ascites and abdominal pain. At admission the clinical parameters (weight, height, temperature, cranial perimeter and temperature) were within the norms for age. The clinical examination noted a moderate skin-mucosal pallor, asthenia. The biological assessment returned to moderate normochrome anemia with impaired pancreatic function while renal and hepatic functions were maintained. The abdominal scan performed after two low-contribution abdominal ultrasounds, objected signs in favor of a portal cavernoma with perisplenic and gastric varicose veins. The second is an 8-year-old male child born from an unborn marriage and from a followed pregnancy with premature delivery. His pathological history includes a notion of prematurity that required a stay in neonatology with umbilical catheterization and repeated abdominal pain. He had an acute abdominal episode in March 2015 justifying a surgical hospitalization for suspicion of appendicitis. At admission the clinical parameters (weight, height, temperature, cranial perimeter and temperature) were within the norms for age. The abdominal ultrasound prescribed for this was suggestive of portal cavernoma, later confirmed by abdominal computed tomography.


Nous rapportons deux observations de cavernome portal diagnostiqué successivement à Bamako et à Dakar. Le premier est un enfant de 6 ans de sexe masculin admis dans le service pour ascite et douleurs abdominales. L'examen clinique notait une pâleur cutanéo-muqueuse modérée, une asthénie. Le bilan biologique retrouvait une anémie modérée normochrome normocytaire avec une fonction pancréatique perturbée tandis que les fonctions rénales et hépatiques étaient conservées. Le scanner abdominal réalisé après deux échographies abdominales peu contributives, objectivait des signes en faveur d'un cavernome portal avec varice péri-splénique et gastrique. Le second est un enfant de 8 ans de sexe masculin né d'un mariage non consanguin et issu d'une grossesse suivie avec accouchement prématuré. Il est le 3e enfant de sa fratrie et scolarisé. On retrouve dans ses antécédents pathologiques une notion de prématurité ayant nécessitée un séjour en néonatologie avec cathétérisme ombilical et des douleurs abdominales à répétition. L'enfant a commencé à se plaindre de douleurs abdominales récurrentes vers l'âge de 6 ans. Douleurs de siège péri ombilical sans réveil nocturne dans un contexte de constipation chronique d'allure fonctionnelle. Il a fait un épisode abdominal aigu justifiant une hospitalisation en chirurgie pour suspicion d'appendicite. A l'admission les paramètres cliniques (poids, taille, température, périmètre crânien et température) étaient dans les normes pour l'âge. L'échographie abdominale prescrite à cet effet était évocatrice de cavernome porte, confirmé par la suite par la tomodensitométrie abdominale.

RESUMO

GOAL: To assess knowledges and practices on iron prescription in pediatric ward in CHU Gabriel Touré of Bamako, Mali. TOOLS AND METHODS: It was a prospective and transversal study canied out. We submitted questionnaire and analyzed the case history of to the children aged 1-60 months old who received iron during the study period from 1rstto 30 July 2012. The prescriptators' consent were solicited and obtained at first of all. RESULTS: Fifty prestators were interviewed among them 10 pediatricians (20%), 31 pediatrics' resident (62 %), 2 generalists physicians (4%), 7 medical student (14%). One hundred 100 were analyzed medical records. More than half of the prestators known the need of iron in children. Thirty percent have received iron at 8 to 10mg/kg. The medication duration wasn't indicating in 92% of patients. In our context prestators well know about meaning and the needs of iron in children bout they're limited on iron food sources and iron storage. CONCLUSION: The well theorical knowledge on indications and prescription roules on iron in children didn't escape from miss practices in its prescription. Moreover works should analyze the reasons of discrepancies.


BUT: Evaluer les connaissances et les pratiques relatives à la prescription du fer dans le service de pédiatrie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Gabriel Touré (CHU-GT) de Bamako, Mali. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODES: Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale réalisée du 1 er au 30 Juillet 2012 à la pédiatrie. Nous avons soumis un questionnaire aux prestataires et analysé les dossiers des enfants âgés de 1 à 60 mois hospitalisés ayant reçu du fer. Le consentement des prescripteurs à été demandé et obtenu au préalable. RÉSULTATS: nous avons enquêté cinquante prestataires dont 10 pédiatres (20%), 31 médecins CES de pédiatrie (62 %), 2 médecins généralistes (4%), 7 étudiants en fin de cycle médical (14%) et analysé 100 dossiers. Trente pour cent des prestataires ont correctement défini le fer. Plus de la moitié des prestataires connaissaient les besoins en fer chez l'enfant. Les réserves en fer étaient connues de 42% des prestataires. Huit pour cent des prestataires savaient que les fers apportés par l'alimentation étaient le fer héminique ou le fer non héminique. Trente pourcent des malades ont reçu le fer à la dose de 8 à 10mg/kg. La durée du traitement n'a pas été précisée chez 92% des malades. CONCLUSION: Dans notre contexte la bonne connaissance théorique des indications et des règles de prescription du fer chez l'enfant n'excluait pas les mauvaises pratiques de sa prescription. D'autres travaux devraient analyser les raisons de cette discordance.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Early neonatal bacterial infection (ENBI) is a major concern in neonatology. In Mali, no study had addressed this aspect, hence the initiation of this work to study the epidemiological-clinical, biological and bacteriological profile of ENBI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a descriptive longitudinal study that took place from june 27 to september 3, 2016 involving newborns aged ≤ 72 hours hospitalized for ENBI confirmed by blood culture in the neonatology service of the pediatrics department of the Center Hospitalier et Universitaire (CHU) Gabriel Toure in Bamako. The parameters studied were the socio-demographic and obstetrical characteristics of the mothers, the clinical, biological and bacteriological characteristics of newborns infected early. RESULTS: Of the 324 blood cultures performed, 52 were positive, i.e. an ENBI frequency of 11.04%. The sex ratio was 1.3 with 73.1% low birth weight. On admission, 90.4% of newborns had less than 24 hours of life and 86.5% were births outside the CHU Gabriel Toure. The main clinical signs were hyperthermia or hypothermia and respiratory distress. The main bacteria isolated in blood culture were Staphylococcus aureus (55.8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.5%) and Escherichia coli (07.7%). Sensitivity to first-line biantibiotic therapy (ceftriaxone + gentamicin) was low (63.6%) and that of amikacin was better (100%). Half of the newborns infected early died and 19.2% of exeat without medical agreement was recorded. CONCLUSION: Early neonatal bacterial infection is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. In our context, amikacin could be a better therapeutic alternative.


INTRODUCTION: L'infection néonatale bactérienne précoce (INBP) est une préoccupation majeure en néonatologie. Au Mali, aucune étude n'avait abordé cet aspect d'où l'initiation du présent travail afin d'étudier le profil épidémio-clinique, biologique et bactériologique de l'INBP. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODES: Il s'est agi d'une étude longitudinale descriptive qui s'est déroulée du 27 juin au 03 septembre 2016 ayant concerné les nouveau-nés d'âge ≤ à 72 heures hospitalisés pour INBP confirmée à l'hémoculture dans le service de néonatologie du département de pédiatrie du Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire (CHU) Gabriel Touré de Bamako. Les paramètres étudiés étaient les caractéristiques sociodémographiques et obstétricales des mères, les caractéristiques cliniques, biologiques et bactériologiques des nouveau-nés infectés précocement. RÉSULTATS: Sur les 324 hémocultures réalisées, 52étaient positives soit une fréquence d'INBP de 11,04 %. Le sex-ratio était de 1,3 avec 73,1% de petit poids de naissance. A l'admission, 90,4 % des nouveau-nés avait moins de 24 H de vie et86, 5%étaient des naissances hors du CHU Gabriel Touré. Les principaux signes cliniques étaient l'hyperthermie ou l'hypothermie et la détresse respiratoire. Les principales bactéries isolées à l'hémoculture étaient Staphylococcus aureus (55,8%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13,5 %) et Escherichia coli(07,7 %). La sensibilité à la biantibiothérapie de première intention (ceftriaxone + gentamicine)était faible (63,6%) et celle de l'amikacine était meilleure (100 %). La moitié des nouveau-nés infectés précocement est décédée et 19,2% d'exéat sans accord médical a été enregistrée. CONCLUSION: L'infection néonatale bactérienne précoce est une cause majeure de morbi-mortalité néonatale. Dans notre contexte, l'amikacine pourrait être une meilleure alternative thérapeutique.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is known to reduce the risk of developing active TB in about 59% in children aged ⩽15 years. We assessed adherence, completion and adverse events among children who were household contacts of a newly diagnosed adult with smear-positive TB in Bamako, Mali. METHODS: Children aged <15 years living in the same house with an adult smear-positive index case were enrolled in the study in the Bamako Region after consent was obtained from the parent or legal guardian. Adherence was assessed based on the number of tablets consumed during 6 months. RESULTS: A total of 260 children aged <15 years were identified as household contacts of 207 adult patients with smear-positive TB during the study period. Among all child contacts, 130/260 (50.0%) were aged 0-4 years and were eligible for IPT; 128/130 (98.5%) were started on IPT and 83/128 (64.8%) completed with good adherence at the end of the 6 months, and without any significant adverse events. CONCLUSION: We successfully implemented IPT with good acceptance, but low completion rate. The Mali National TB Program and partners should expand this strategy to reach more children in Bamako and the whole country and create greater awareness in the population.


CADRE ET OBJECTIF: Le traitement préventif par isoniazide (IPT) réduit le risque de développer une TB active chez environ 59% des enfants ⩽15 ans. Nous avons évalué l'observance, l'achèvement du traitement et les évènements indésirables chez des enfants qui étaient contacts domestiques d'un adulte ayant récemment reçu un diagnostic de TB à microscopie positive à Bamako, Mali. MÉTHODES: Les enfants âgés <15 ans vivant sous le même toit qu'un cas index adulte de TB à microscopie positive ont été inclus dans l'étude dans la région de Bamako, après obtention du consentement des parents ou du tuteur légal. L'observance a été évaluée en fonction du nombre de comprimés consommés au cours d'une période de 6 mois. RÉSULTATS: Au total, 260 enfants âgés <15 ans ont été identifiés comme contacts domestiques de 207 patients adultes atteints de TB à microscopie positive pendant la période d'étude. Parmi tous les contacts pédiatriques, 130/260 (50,0%) étaient âgés de 0­4 ans et étaient éligibles à l'IPT ; 128/130 (98,5%) ont été mis sous IPT et 83/128 (64,8%) ont achevé leur traitement avec une bonne observance à la fin de la période de 6 mois, sans évènement indésirable significatif. CONCLUSION: Nous avons mis en place l'ITP avec succès. L'acceptation était bonne mais le taux d'achèvement du traitement était faible. Le programme national de lutte contre la TB du Mali et ses partenaires devraient élargir cette stratégie afin d'inclure davantage d'enfants de Bamako et du pays, et d'accroître la sensibilisation de la population.

RESUMO

Drug-resistant tuberculosis, especially in children, is a major public health challenge. We report a case with rifampicin resistance diagnosed in an HIV co-infected in Bamako. The history of the disease suggests possible father-to-child transmission. After confirmation, MDR-TB treatment was initiated. Global improvement and normalization of biological parameters and X-Ray was obtained. The identification of this case highlights the need to improve diagnosticand treatment algorithms for rapid confirmation and better management.


La tuberculose pharmaco-résistante surtout de l'enfant représente un défi majeur de santé publique. Nous rapportons un cas avec résistance à la rifampicine chez un enfant séropositif au VIHà Bamako. L'histoire de la maladie suggère une possible transmission du père à l'enfant. Après la confirmation, l'enfant a été mis sous traitement de TB-MR. Une amélioration de son état général et une normalisation des paramètres biologiques et radiologiques a été observée. L'identification de ce patient met en évidence la nécessité d'améliorer les algorithmes de diagnostic et de traitement pour une confirmation rapide et une meilleure prise en charge.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to describe the epidemiological and prognostic aspects of eclampsia in the Bougouni reference health center. METHODS: This was a transversal prospective, descriptive study from January 1 to December 31, 2015 in the gynecology-obstetrics department of Bougouni reference health center. Were included, all pregnant or postpartum women diagnosed with eclampsia during the study period. RESULTS: The frequency of eclampsia was 2.54%. They were adolescent girls in 50% of cases, primigest in 62.5% of cases, unschooled in 67.5% of cases, having not performed any antenatal care in 70% of cases. Eclampsia occurred in antepartum in 37.5% of cases, in 5% in perpartum and in 57.5% in postpartum. Therapeutically, nicardipine with 72.5% and nifedipine with 22.5% were the antihypertensive drugs used. As for anticonvulsants, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) was used in 92.5% and diazepam in 7.5%. The maternal-fetal prognosis was marked by 2.5% of maternal death, 27% of prematurity and 27.5% of fetal death in utero. CONCLUSION: Eclampsia is a dreadful pathology with serious maternal and fetal complications.

RESUMO

HIV infection is a chronic infectious disease requiring long-term management and regular follow-up of patients. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study was to describe the socio-demographic, clinical, biological and therapeutic aspects of adolescents treated and followed for HIV infection at the Hospital Gabriel Toure paediatric center. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2017, the medical records of children followed for HIV infection until adolescence were analyzed. It was a descriptive and analytical retrospective study. RESULTS: One thousand five hundred and fourteen patients received antiretroviral treatment and 587 were still in follow-up on 31 December 2017, including 393 adolescents (sex-ratio = 1.2). The median age was 14.25 years and 55.1% of children had lost at least one parent. HIV serology was positive among mothers in 61.7% of cases (n=342), and 63% of them were on ARVs. Sixty-eight per cent of children were WHO Stage III or IV at the time of ART initiation. The median age at onset of ART was 53 months (26-96 months). The combination of 2 nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) with a non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) was used in 89% of patients. The median CD4 count before ARV treatment was 438/mm3. The average duration of follow-up under treatment was 9.8 ± 3.4 years. Fifty-one percent of adolescents had undetectable viral load. There was a correlation between the initiation of a second line of treatment and treatment failure (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The adherence of adolescents to ARV treatment requires the implementation of innovative strategies to improve the therapeutic success rate.


L'infection à VIH est une maladie chronique infectieuse nécessitant une prise en charge longue et un suivi régulier des patients. OBJECTIFS: L'objectif de ce travail était de décrire les aspects socio-démographiques, clinico-biologiques et thérapeutiques du VIH chez l'adolescentau centre d'excellence pédiatrique de prise en charge du CHU Gabriel Toure. PATIENTS ET MÉTHODES: Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale avec recueil rétrospectif de données, qui s'est déroulée du 01/01/2001 au 31/12/2017. C'était une étudetransversale à visée analytique portant sur les dossiers des adolescents d'au moins10 ans. RÉSULTATS: Trois cent quatre-vingt-treize (393) adolescents d'au moins10 ansont été inclus. La sérologie VIH était positive chez les mères dans 61,7% des cas (n=342), et 63% d'entre elles étaient sous ARV. Soixante-huit pour cent des enfants étaient classés stade III ou IV de l'OMS au moment de la mise sous TARV. L'association de 2 inhibiteurs nucléosidiques de la transcriptase inverse (INTI) à un inhibiteur non nucléotidique de la transcriptase inverse (INNTI) a été utilisée chez 89% des patients. Le taux de CD4 médian avant la mise sous traitement ARV était de 438/mm3 La durée moyenne de suivi sous traitement était de 9,8 ± 3,4 ans. Cinquante un pourcent (51%) des adolescents étaient en succès thérapeutique avec une charge virale indétectable (< 1000 copies/ml). Il y avait une corrélation entre l'instauration d'une seconde ligne de traitement et l'échec thérapeutique (p<0,001). CONCLUSION: L'adhésion des adolescents au traitement ARV nécessite la mise en place de stratégies innovantes permettant d'améliorer le taux de succès thérapeutique.

RESUMO

GOAL: The goal was to assess the maternal-fetal prognosis of anemia in pregnant women in the Bougouni reference health center. METHODS: We carried out a prospective descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from January 1 to December 31, 2013 at the Bougouni reference health center. It covered all pregnant women with a hemoglobin level below 11g/dl regardless of the outcome of the pregnancy. RESULTS: The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 33.2%. They were women married to peasants in 88.6% of cases, unschooled in 93.2% of cases, having not done antenal care in 56.8% of cases. Malaria was the most common etiology in 75% of cases. Anemia was severe in 61.4% of cases. The maternal-fetal prognosis was dominated by 3.3% of maternal death, 12.5% of abortion, 7.6% of prematurity and 6.8% of fetal death in utero. CONCLUSION: Anemia in pregnant women is the source of many maternal-fetal complications.

RESUMO

Malnutrition among children under five is a major public health problem in low-income countries, and contributes significantly to mortality in this age group. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical profile of malnourished children at the Nara hospital in north of Mali. METHOD: It was a retrospective and descriptive study, from 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2016. Children aged 6 months to 59 months admitted for acute malnutrition were included. RESULTS: Four hundred and sixty-one children had malnutrition, representing 15% of consultations and 50% of hospitalizations. The median age was 26 months (2 months-93 months). The sex ratio was 0.92 (M = 222, F = 239). Nineteen percent of the patients had progressive weaning (n = 90), and it was brutal in 371 patients (80%). The distribution of patients according to the Z-score was as follows: Z-score <-1 (n = 15, 3%), Z-score <-2 (n = 46, 10%), Z-score <-3 (n = 400, 87%). Mean MUAC was 105 mm (99mm-124mm). Hypoglycemia was noted in 45% (n = 204). The marasmus cases accounted for 80% (n = 367) kwashiorkor 10% (n = 48). The mixed form of malnutrition accounted for 10% (n = 46). The disease associated with malnutrition were pneumonia (n = 219, 47%), malaria (n = 115, 25%) and gastroenteritis (n = 68, 15%). The F75 milk was administered predominantly for 3 months in 93% of cases. For phase 2 of treatment, Plumpy Nut and F100 milk were respectively administered in 88% and 12%. The nutritional recovery rate was 95% (n = 435). Five percent of the patients died (n = 26). Pneumonia was the cause of death in 85% of cases. The cure rate for marasmus and kwashiorkor cases was respectively 94% and 93%. CONCLUSION: Acute malnutrition remains frequent in the Sahelian environment. Better knowledge of mothers about weaning and dietary diversification will improve the nutritional status of children.


La malnutrition chez les enfants de moins de cinq ans est un problème majeur de santé publique dans les pays à faibles revenus, et contribue de manière significative à la mortalité dans cette tranche d'âge. Le but de ce travail était d'évaluer le profil épidémio- clinique et thérapeutique des enfants malnutris pris en charge au centre de santé de référence de Nara. MÉTHODE: IL s'est agi d'une étude rétrospective et descriptive, allant du 01/01/2016 au 31/12/2016. Tous les enfants d'âge compris entre 6 mois et 59 mois, admis pour malnutrition aigüe ont été inclus. RÉSULTATS: La malnutrition a été diagnostiquée chez quatre cent soixante un enfant, soit 15% des consultations et 50% des hospitalisations. L'âge médian était de 26 mois (2 mois-93 mois). Le sex ratio était 0,92 (M=222 ; F=239).Dix-neuf pour cent des patients ont eu un sevrage progressif (n=90), et il a été brutal chez 371 patients, soit 80%. La répartition des patients selon le Z-score était le suivant : Z-score < -1 (n=15 ; 3%), Z-score < -2 (n=46 ; 10%), Z-score < -3 (n=400 ; 87%). Le périmètre brachial moyen était de 105 mm (99mm-124mm). A l'admission, l'hypoglycémie a été notée chez 45% (n=204). Les cas de marasme représentaient 80% (n=367) kwashiorkor 10% (n=48). La forme mixte de la malnutrition a représentée 10% (n=46). Les pathologies associées à la malnutrition étaient : les pneumopathies (n=219 ; 47%), le paludisme (n=115 ; 25%) et les gastroentérites (n=68 ; 15%).Le F75 a été administré majoritairement pendant 3 mois dans 93% des cas. Pour la phase 2 du traitement, le Plumpy Nut et le F100 ont été respectivement administré à 88% et 12%. Le taux de récupération nutritionnelle était de 95% (n=435). Cinq pour cent des patients sont décédés (n=26). La pneumonie a été la cause du décès dans 85% des cas. Le taux de guérison pour les cas de marasme et de kwashiorkor était respectivement de 94% et 93%. CONCLUSION: la malnutrition aigüe demeure fréquente et préoccupante en milieu pédiatrique sahelien. Une meilleure connaissance des mères sur le sevrage et la diversification alimentaire permettront d'améliorer l'état nutritionnel des enfants.

RESUMO

to assess epidemiologic and clinical aspects of childhood brain tumors in Mali. a retrospective, descriptive study of children aged 0-15 years with brain tumors, conducted in the pediatrics department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital Center in Bamako, Mali, from January 31, 2007 to December 3, 2012. In all, 41 cases of brain tumors were recorded during this period (mean: 5.5 years old; range: 1-12 years). Brain tumors were most frequent in the children aged 2-5 years (53.7%) and among boys (53.7%). Late stage at presentation was relatively frequent (34.1%) with a mean time to diagnosis of 10 months. Features of elevated intracranial pressure were the most frequent mode of revelation of primary tumors (26.8%). Supratentorial tumors accounted for 83% of the cases, and gliomas were most frequently (29.3%) identified on computed tomography. Only five patients underwent surgical tumor removal. A broader study including the other hospitals in Bamako could help to assess more accurately the epidemiology of pediatric brain tumors in Mali.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: In recent years, children born to HIV-infected mothers have been receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) with limited or no virologic monitoring, which increases the likelihood of development and accumulation of drug resistance mutations, which itself may limit the effectiveness of future ART. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of resistance mutations in children infected with HIV-1 experiencing virological failure to second-line ART in the Pediatric Department of Gabriel Touré Hospital in Mali. METHODS: Children aged from 5 to 18 infected with HIV-1 on second-line antiretroviral therapy and whose viral load was greater than 1000 copies/mL after observance reinforcement were enrolled. The protease and reverse transcriptase genes were sequenced with ViroSeq®. The results were interpreted according to the last version of the Stanford algorithm in 2018. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Sciences, Techniques and Technologies of Bamako (Mali). RESULTS: Of 216 children, 33 (15.3%) who had a viral load (VL)>1000 copies/mL in second line were recruited and included in the study. The median plasma viral load was 77,000 copies/mL [IQR (28,000-290,000)] and the median CD4 cell count was 310 cells/mm3 [IQR (152-412)]. The median age was 12 years; 48.5% of patients were treated with a combination of stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine (Triomune®) for first-line treatment and 60.6% with abacavir/lamivudine/lopinavir/ritonavir for the second-line ART. The median treatment duration was 8.5 years [range, 3-13]. Of the 33 children whose treatment failed, the predominant HIV-1 subtype was CRF02_AG (66.7%). The prevalence of resistance to ART classes was 60.61% (20/33) to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), 54.51% (18/33) to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and 51.52% (17/33) to protease inhibitors (PIs). Of the patients studied, 90.9% were exposed to lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) but only 15.2% (5/33) developed resistance to LPV/r. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that LPV/r remains active in most patients after second-line ART failure. In children whose second-line ART fails, particular attention should be paid to their ART and adherence history when considering the next treatment option.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Household accidental child poisonings are frequent pediatric medical emergencies in developing countries. OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiological, etiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of acute accidental domestic poisoning in children aged 0 to 15 years admitted to the pediatric emergency department of Gabriel Toure. METHOD: This was a prospective, descriptive study that ran from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. All patients aged 0 to 15 years admitted to pediatric emergencies for acute intoxication were included. RESULTS: A hundred cases of acute accidental poisoning were collected. Children under five accounted for 94%. The majority of mothers was housewives and had custody of children (83%). Forty-nine percent of the mothers were unschooled. The place of storage of the product was indoor in 96% of cases. The product was taken by the child himself (88%). A gesture at the scene of the accident was reported in 68% of cases, the ingestion of milk (72%) and water (10%) were the first acts used. The hospital was the first resort (72%). The time between taking the product and admission to hospital was 1 to 5 hours in 58% of cases. Vomiting (37 cases), agitation (17 cases) and respiratory distress (16 cases) were the most common symptoms. Domestic products (48%) followed by drugs (33%) ranked first among the families of poisons. Caustic soda (18%) and bleach (17%) were the most commonly found intoxication products. The evolution was good with a cure without sequelae (93%). CONCLUSION: Accidental acute intoxications to household products are common in Mali. The hospital admission deadline is still long; the actions taken by patients at the accident site often aggravate their states but are largely done by the parents before the use of health care.


Les intoxications accidentelles domestiques de l'enfant sont des urgences médicales pédiatriques fréquentes dans les pays en développement. Le but de notre travail était d'étudier les aspects épidémiologiques, étiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques des intoxications aiguës accidentelles domestiques chez les enfants âgés de 0 à 15 ans admis aux urgences pédiatriques du CHU Gabriel Touré. MÉTHODE: Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive à collecte prospective qui s'est déroulée du 01 janvier 2014 au 31 décembre 2014. Ont été inclus tous les patients âgés de 0 à 15 ans admis aux urgences pédiatriques pour intoxications aiguës accidentelles. RÉSULTATS: Cent cas d'intoxications accidentelles aiguës ont étés colligés. Les enfants âgés de moins de cinq ans représentaient 94%. La majorité des mères était des femmes au foyer et avait la garde des enfants (83%). Quarante-neuf pour cent des mères n'étaient pas scolarisées. Le lieu de stockage du produit était intradomiciliaire dans 96% des cas. Le produit était pris par l'enfant lui-même (88%). Un geste sur le lieu de l'accident était rapporté dans 68% des cas, l'ingestion de lait (72 %) et de l'eau (10%) avaient été les premiers gestes utilisés. L'hôpital était le lieu du premier recours (72%). La durée entre la prise du produit et l'admission à l'hôpital était de 1 à 5 heures dans 58% des cas. Les vomissements (37 cas), l'agitation (17 cas) et la détresse respiratoire (16 cas) étaient les symptômes les plus rencontrés. La soude caustique (18%) et l'eau de javel (17 %) étaient les produits d'intoxication les plus retrouvés. Les produits domestiques (48%) suivis des médicaments (33%) venaient en tête parmi les familles de toxiques. L'évolution était bonne avec une guérison sans séquelle (93%). CONCLUSION: Les intoxications aiguës accidentelles aux produits domestiques sont courantes au Mali. Le délai d'admission à l'hôpital reste toujours long, les gestes inappropriés apportés aux patients sur le lieu de l'accident aggravent souvent le tableau mais sont largement effectués par les parents avant le recours aux soins de santé.

RESUMO

Insecticide resistance is one of the primary threats to the recent gains in malaria control. This is especially true in Guinea, where long-lasting insecticidal nets are currently the primary vector control intervention. To better inform the national malaria control program on the current status of insecticide resistance in Guinea, resistance bioassays were conducted, using Anopheles gambiae s.l. Giles, in three sites. Molecular analyses were also done on An. gambiae s.l. to determine the species and find whether the target-site mutations kdr and Ace1R were present. Susceptibility tests revealed resistance to DDT and pyrethroids, although mosquitoes were susceptible to deltamethrin in two of the three sites tested. Mosquitoes were susceptible to bendiocarb, except in Kissidougou, Guinea. The kdr-west mutation was widespread and the frequency was 60% or more in all sites. However, the Ace1R mutation was present in low levels. Insecticide susceptibility should continue to be monitored in Guinea to ensure insecticide-based vector control methods remain effective.

RESUMO

We report two observations of congenital hypothyroidism diagnosed in 2011 in the university hospital of Gabriel Toure in Bamako. The first occurred in a male infant of 40 days, admitted for respiratory distress and anterior compressive cervical swelling. Although his neonatal period occurred without any medical particularity, family medical history revealed the presence of unexplored goiter in three paternal uncles. Neurological examination was normal with the presence of constipation. A cervical-thoracic scan showed a homogeneous and symmetric hypertrophy of thyroid lobes with a compression of the trachea. The dosage of thyroid hormones confirmed hypothyroidism (FT4 = 1.6 pmol/l, TSH = 60 µUI/ml). After one month of treatment using Levothyroxine, 10 mg/kg, there was a drastic improvement of respiratory distress, a regression of goiter and normalization of thyroid hormones. At six months of life he had no goiter and psychomotor development was normal. The second case occurred in a male infant of 2 years, from an area of endemic goiter. Puffiness of the face without lower limb edema, constipation, and delayed independent walking were the reasons for consultation. On examination, we noted the absence of goiter, large anterior fontanel with facial dysmorphism (lunar facies, hypertelorism, flat nose, macroglossia) and infiltration of the skin more marked in the face with cold extremities. He required support to sit. The thyroid function tests confirmed hypothyroidism (FT4 = 72 nmol/l, FT3 = 0.40 nmol/l, TSH > 60 µUI/l). Under levothyroxine, there was normalization of thyroid hormones after one month of treatment and disappearance of the skin infiltration. At six months of treatment he had acquired independent walking. Mental prognosis remains to be evaluated. These cases confirm the necessity of routine neonatal diagnosis of hypothyroidism.


Nous rapportons deux observations d'hypothyroïdie congénitale diagnostiquées en 2011 au CHU Gabriel Touré de Bamako. Il s'agit d'un nourrisson de 40 jours, de sexe masculin admis dans le service pour une détresse respiratoire et une tuméfaction cervicale antérieure compressive. Son passé néonatal était sans particularités, il aurait trois oncles paternels ayant un goitre non exploré. Une constipation chronique était le seul signe fonctionnel tandis que l'examen neurologique était normal. Une tomodensitométrie cervico-thoracique montrait une hypertrophie homogène et symétrique des lobes thyroïdiens avec compression de la trachée. Le dosage des hormones thyroïdiennes confirmait l'hypothyroïdie (T4L = 1,6 pmol/l, TSH= 60 µUI/ml). Sous lévothyroxine à 10 µg /kg, on notait une disparition de la détresse respiratoire, une régression du goitre et la normalisation du taux des hormones thyroïdiennes à un mois de traitement. A six mois de vie, il n'avait pas de goitre et son développement psychomoteur était normal. Le second est un nourrisson de 2 ans, de sexe masculin, provenant d'une zone d'endémie goitreuse. Une bouffissure du visage sans œdème des membres inférieurs, une constipation, un retard de la marche autonome constituaient les motifs de consultation. A l'examen, on notait l'absence de goitre, une fontanelle antérieure large avec une dysmorphie faciale (facies lunaire, hypertélorisme, nez aplati, macroglossie) et une infiltration de la peau plus marquée au visage avec une froideur des extrémités. Il s'asseyait avec appui. Le dosage des hormones thyroïdiennes a confirmé l'hypothyroïdie (T4L = 72 nmol/l, T3L= 0,40 nmol/l, TSH > 60 µUI/l). Sous lévothyroxine, on notait la normalisation des hormones thyroïdiennes à un mois de traitement et la disparition de l'infiltration de la peau. A six mois de traitement il avait acquis la marche autonome. Le pronostic mental reste à être évalué. Ces observations confirment la nécessité du diagnostic néonatal de l'hypothyroïdie.

RESUMO

Cholera is an epidemic diarrheal disease transmitted through the digestive tract; it can cause obstetric complications in pregnant women. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of cholera in pregnant women, as well as its course, during the 2012 epidemic in Conakry. This retrospective, descriptive studied examined the records of this epidemic over a 7-month period (from May 15 to December 15, 2012). Of 2,808 cholera patients at our hospital, 80 were pregnant, that is, 2.85%. Their mean age was 30 years [range: 15-45 years], 94% were from Conakry (94%), and 69% were in the third trimester of pregnancy. Choleriform diarrhea and vomiting were the main signs, found respectively in 100% and 95% of the women; dehydration was mild for 16%, moderate for 45%, and severe for 39%. Support consisted of rehydration, by plans A (16%), B (45%) or C (39%) and antibiotic treatment based on erythromycin (85%), doxycycline (14%), or azithromycin (1%). Other drugs that were used included phloroglucinol-trimethylphloroglucinol (Spasfon(®)) for 45%, acetaminophen for 65%, and iron/folic acid for 1% of cases. The major obstetric complications were 4 intrauterine deaths (5%), 2 cases of threatened abortion (2%), 1 preterm delivery (1%), and 1 maternal death. The cholera outbreak in 2012 affected a large number of pregnant women in Conakry, most during their third trimester. The classic clinical manifestations were associated with obstetric complications and maternal-fetal risks.

RESUMO

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The recent outbreak of Ebola virus infections has mostly remained confined to the West African countries Guinea-Conakry, Sierra-Leone and Liberia. Due to intense national and international mobilizations, a significant reduction in Ebola virus transmission has been recorded. While international efforts focus on new vaccines, medicines and diagnostics, no coherent national or international approach exists to integrate the potential of the traditional health practitioners (THPs) in the management of infectious diseases epidemics. Nevertheless, the first contact of most of the Ebola infected patients is with the THPs since the symptoms are similar to those of common traditionally treated diseases or symptoms such as malaria, hemorrhagic syndrome, typhoid or other gastrointestinal diseases, fever and vomiting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In an ethnomedical survey conducted in the 4 main Guinean regions contacts were established with a total of 113 THPs. The socio-demographic characteristics, the professional status and the traditional perception of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) were recorded. RESULTS: The traditional treatment of the main symptoms was based on 47 vegetal recipes which were focused on the treatment of diarrhea (22 recipes), fever (22 recipes), vomiting (2 recipes), external antiseptic (2 recipes), hemorrhagic syndrome (2 recipes), convulsion and dysentery (one recipe each). An ethnobotanical survey led to the collection of 54 plant species from which 44 identified belonging to 26 families. The most represented families were Euphorbiaceae, Caesalpiniaceae and Rubiaceae. Literature data on the twelve most cited plant species tends to corroborate their traditional use and to highlight their pharmacological potential. CONCLUSIONS: It is worth to document all available knowledge on the traditional management of EVD-like symptoms in order to evaluate systematically the anti-Ebola potential of Guinean plant species.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Malaria is one of the rare public health plagues which has been prevailing over centuries. It is severe around the world poverty line and remains the most widely spread disease in intertropical zones. The Afro-tropical region, which accounts for 8% of the world population, bears the heaviest malaria burden, with 80% to 90% of cases (200 to 280 millions) among which, 90% are due to P. falciparum. OBJECTIVE: To study neuromalarian lesions in 0-15 year old children in the Pediatric Unit at Gabriel Touré, University Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From February 2009 to January 2010 the study covered 92 children, aged 0-15 years old, with neuromalarian lesions hospitalized at the Pediatric unit of the Gabriel Toure University Hospital. RESULTS: 2230 patients were received suffering from malaria, among whom 1320 hospitalized for neuromalarian. 92 cases (6.97%) of neuromalarian lesion were identified. There were 57 boys and 35 girls, with 1.63 sex ratio. 0 to 5 years old age group was the most significant, accounting for 67.39% of subjects. Axial hypotony was the most frequent lesion encountered (65.22%). Temporary blindness was reported in six patients (6.52%). Behavior disorders were reported in seven patients (7.61%). Five patients (5.43%) were victim of hemiplegia. Axial hypotonicity was associated with aphasia in thirty-seven patients (40.22%) and peripheral hypertonia in eighteen patients (19.57%). Seven patients (7.61%) became epileptic and six (6.52%) were suffering from dystonia. Recovery effects were 50% in the short term and 73.9% in the medium term. CONCLUSION: Despite progress made in terms of diagnosis and care, malaria still remain a fearsome pathology and source of neuromalarian lesions among which some lead to permanent disability. Early intervention and proper treatment could reduce the incidence of neuromalarian lesions.


INTRODUCTION: le paludisme est l'un des rares fléaux de santé publique qui ait traversé les siècles sans perdre de son activité. Il sévit dans la ceinture de pauvreté du monde et représente la maladie parasitaire la plus répandue dans le monde intertropical. La région afro-tropicale, qui ne compte que 8% de la population supporte le plus lourd fardeau du paludisme avec 80­90% des cas (200 à 280 millions) dont 90% dus à plasmodium falciparum. OBJECTIF: L'objectif de cette étude était d'étudier les séquelles du neuropaludisme dans le service de pédiatrie. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODE: De Février 2009 à Janvier 2010, nous avons réalisé une étude portant sur les séquelles du neuropaludisme dans le service de pédiatrie du CHU Gabriel Touré. L'étude concernait les enfants de 0­15 ans, hospitalisés et ayant gardés des séquelles neurologiques après un neuropaludisme. RÉSULTATS: 2230 patients ont été admis pour paludisme dont 1320 hospitalisés pour neuropaludisme. Nous avons recensé 92 cas (6,97%) de séquelles neurologiques .Il y avait 57 garçon contre 35 filles soit un sexe ratio de 1,63. La tranche d'âge de 0 à 5 ans était la plus représentée, soit 67,39%.L'hypotonie axiale était la séquelle la plus fréquemment rencontrée (65,22%).Elle était associée à l'aphasie chez trente sept patients (40,22%) et à l'hypertonie périphérique chez dix huit patients (19,57%). Sept patients (7,61%) sont devenus épileptiques et six (6,52%) ont présenté une dystonie. La récupération des séquelles a été de 50% à court terme et de 73,9% à moyen terme. CONCLUSION: le paludisme, malgré les progrès réalisés dans sont diagnostic et sa prise en charge demeure toujours une affection redoutable et pourvoyeuse de séquelles neurologiques dont certaines sont responsables de handicap permanent.
