Objectives: to identify the main causative agents of infection associated with care and their susceptibility to antibiotics used and to identify risk factors for care-associated infection., Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with prospective data collection, conducted from 1 November 2016 to 1 April 2017 among all children admitted to the pediatric surgery department. Non-consenting parents and cases of necrosectomy were included in this study., Results: Our study involved 200 patients, 30 of whom presented a care-associated infection (15% infection rate). The average age of patients with infection was 56.33 ± 48.66 months (1 and 180 months). The main pathogens responsible for infection of the operative site were: Escherischia coli (4 cases), Acinetobacterbaumanii (3 cases), Klebsiella pneumoniae (2 cases), Staphylococcus aureus (2 cases), Enterobacter cloacae (1case), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1 case) and Enterobacter faecalis (1 case). In the burned patients, the organisms found were: Acinetobacter baumanii (7 cases), Klebsiella pneumoniae (6 cases), Staphylococcus aureus (6 cases), Escherischia coli (4 cases), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2 cases) and Enterobacter faecalis (2 cases). Escherichia coli was noted in urinary tract infection. Antibiotics tested were amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ceftriaxone, imipenem, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. The mode of recruitment and the duration of hospitalization were the risk factors noted., Conclusion: The infection associated with care is a frequent occurrence in our practice. These infections mainly occur at the operating sites. The germs found were: Acinetobacter, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. They are all sensitive to imipenem and resistant to amoxicillin. The infection remains formidable in health care. It is essential to give special attention to the prevention of infectious risk, especially in the surgical setting., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Aims: To determine the frequency and factors of complications of intestinal stomas., Methods: This was a retrospective study over a 7 year period from January 2004 to December 2010, covering all children aged 0-15 years, who received a stoma and hospitalized in the period of study. Excluded from this study, alimentary ostomy and urological ostomy, and children whose medical records were incomplete., Results: We examined 192 cases of stoma or 27 cases/year. We noted a complication in 91 (48%) of our patients. The average age was 3.64 ± 5.03 years ranging from 6 hours and 15 years. The complicating factors were: the indication for surgery, type of stoma, the variety of stoma, surgical technique and equipment., Conclusion: The achievement of good technique and appropriate equipment would be needed to reduce some complications of the stoma., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.
