ABSTRACT

Objectif : Décrire le profil des groupes spécifiques de femmes qui portent le plus lourd fardeau des besoins non satisfaits en planification familiale. Méthodologie : Analyse secondaire des données de l'EDS 2012 portant sur les besoins non satisfaits de PF chez les femmes en âge de procréer, sexuellement actives et exposées aux grossesses. Chi 2 de Pearson et Ttest de Student réalisés. Analyse multivariée par technique CHAID de l'arbre de décision. Interprétation des résultats au seuil (α=5%, IC à 95%). Résultats : les BNSPF de l'ordre de 50 à 58% sont portées par moins de 4% de la population féminine. Plus de 21% ont des BNSPF de l'ordre de 32 à 39% et sont majoritairement sans instruction, multipares, venant du Centre et du Sud du pays. Conclusion : Développer des stratégies desensibilisation et de communication spécifiquement adaptés à ces groupes pour combler le gap d'utilisation des méthodes contraceptives

ABSTRACT

In a pastoralist setting in Ethiopia, we assessed changes in attendance between the first and subsequent antenatal care (ANC) visits following the implementation of non-monetary incentives in a primary health care centre over a 3-year period from October 2009 to September 2012. Incentives included the provision of a bar of soap, a bucket, a mosquito net, sugar, cooking oil, a jerrycan and a delivery kit. The first ANC visits increased by 48% in the first year to 60% in the second. Subsequent visits did not show a similar pattern due to ruptures in incentive stocks. Incentives appear to increase ANC attendance; however, ruptures in stock should be avoided to sustain the effect.


Dans une zone pastorale d'Ethiopie, nous avons évalué le changement de fréquentation entre la première consultation prénatale (ANC) et les suivantes après la mise en œuvre d'incitations non-financières sur une période de 3 ans (octobre 2009­septembre 2012) dans un centre de soins de santé primaire. Ces incitations étaient du savon, un seau, une moustiquaire, du sucre, de l'huile de cuisine, un jerrycan et un kit d'accouchement. Les ANC ont augmenté de 48% la première année à 60% la deuxième année. Les consultations suivantes n'ont pas connu la même augmentation en raison de ruptures de stock des incitations. Ces incitations ont donc un effet positif sur la fréquentation, mais il faut éviter les ruptures de stock pour que l'effet soit durable.


En un medio pastoril en Etiopía se evaluó la modificación de la asistencia a la primera consulta y a las siguientes citas en el programa de atención prenatal, tras la introducción de incentivos no monetarios durante un período de 3 años, entre octubre del 2009 y septiembre del 2012, en un centro de atención primaria de salud. Los incentivos consistieron en el suministro de jabón, un balde, un mosquitero, azúcar, aceite de cocción, un bidón y un estuche de preparativos para el parto. La asistencia a la primera consulta del programa de atención prenatal aumentó en un 48% durante el primer año y un 60% en el segundo. No se observó una modificación equivalente de la presencia a las siguientes citas, debido al desabastecimiento de los incentivos. El suministro de incentivos parece aumentar la asistencia al programa de atención prenatal, pero con el fin de mantener el efecto es preciso evitar el agotamiento de las existencias de los mismos.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the number of sputum specimens necessary for a reliable diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a pastoralist population in Ethiopia. METHOD: Using routine data from Ethiopia, where three sputum specimens are currently recommended for the diagnosis of PTB, we documented, (i) the proportion of persons with suspected, PTB who submitted a first, second and third sputum specimen for smear examination and (ii) the incremental smear-positive yield from the first, to the second and third specimens. RESULTS: Of 505 persons with suspected PTB, 107 (22%) failed to submit three samples. Of 60 patients who submitted three sputum samples with at least one smear-positive sample, the first sputum sample was smear positive in 56 (93%) cases; the second sputum sample was the first to be positive in 3 (5%) cases and in only one case was the third sample the first to be smear positive (additional yield 2%). CONCLUSION: In a pastoralist setting, a reliable diagnosis of PTB can be achieved with two sputum specimens and PTB diagnosis may be adequate with just one sputum specimen. However, if this more radical approach was adopted, ways of increasing diagnostic sensitivity should be explored.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this report is to describe the case of tuberculosis osteitis of the posterior vertebral arch in a 35-year-old man with recent history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Clinical findings were pain due to bilateral inflammation of the lumbar nerve roots, fistulised cold abcess and motor deficit in both lower extremities. The tomodensitometry demonstrated a lytic bone lesion involving the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra in association with spondylitis and a large paravertebral abscess with calcification typical of tuberculosis. Cure was achieved by a single 12-month course of appropriate treatment.
