Abstract

Abstract Objective The inflammatory profile of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) related to tobacco is known in certain studies while that of the post tuberculosis form is not yet known. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes cells in sputum of COPD patients with history of smoking or anterior tuberculosis. Enumeration of cells in samples was analyzed using standard microscopy. Results We enrolled 92 participants, 46 (50%) were COPD subjects comprising 22 (47.83%) smokers and 24 (52.17%) with anterior tuberculosis while 46 (50%) healthy persons constituted the control group. The levels of neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes were statistically higher in COPD patients compared to the control group with p-values of 0.0001 respectively. Neutrophils levels were higher in COPD patients with history of tobacco than in COPD patients with anterior tuberculosis with a mean rate of 4.72 × 106/ml and 2.48 × 106/ml respectively (p = 0.04). The monocytes and lymphocytes levels were not statistically different between the two sub-groups of COPD patients with p-value of 0.052 and 0.91 respectively. Neutrophils are the only inflammatory cells that were significantly higher in COPD patients with history of smoking as compared to COPD patients with anterior tuberculosis.

Abstract

Objectif : Décrire le profil radiographique des séquelles pleuropulmonaires de la tuberculose pulmonaire à l’Hôpital Jamot de Yaoundé. Matériels et méthodes : Une étude transversale analytique menée à l’Hôpital Jamot de Yaoundé (HJY) incluant les patients ayant été traités pour tuberculose pulmonaire bactériologiquement prouvée et déclarés guéris. Les lésions élémentaires, leurs sièges et catégories étaient décrits. Le pourcentage d’extension radiographique des séquelles était déterminé à l’aide d’une méthode d’estimation visuelle par subdivision de chaque champ pulmonaire en zones. Les données étaient saisies dans Epi Data version 3.1 puis exportées dans IBM SPSS 23.0 pour analyse. Résultats : Des 245 patients rencontrés, 200 ont été finalement inclus dans l’étude. La majorité d’entre eux étaient de sexe masculin (108 patients soit 54%) avec un sex-ratio H/F de 1.17. L’âge variait de 18 à 83 ans pour une médiane (1er-3ème quartile) de 40 (30-75) ans. Onze patients (5.5%) avaient des antécédents de tuberculose pulmonaire, 67 patients (33.5%) avaient une co-infection à VIH et 44 patients (22%) avaient des antécédents de tabagisme. A la radiographie, le poumon droit était plus atteint (38% des cas), les lésions étant bilatérales chez 18.5% des sujets. Les localisations dans les zones supérieures des champs pulmonaires étaient les plus relevées sur 128 radiographies (82.5%). Les lésions parenchymateuses observées étaient dominées par les infiltrats interstitiels (94.23%), les atélectasies (53.20%), les bandes de fibrose rétractile (49.20%) et les lésions cavitaires (20.51%). Les principales séquelles pleurales étaient représentées par les épaississements pleuraux (10.89%). Le pourcentage médian (1er-3ème quartile) d’extension radiographique des séquelles était de 10% (1.5-20%) avec des extrêmes variant entre 0 et 54%. Les lésions de catégorie 3 étaient prédominantes (53%) suivie de celles de catégorie 1 (41.5%). Conclusion: Les séquelles pleuro-parenchymateuses de la tuberculose à la radiographie du thorax sont de topographie préférentielle supérieure, avec une extension radiographique médiane de 10%. Ces séquelles sont dominées par les infiltrats interstitiels, les atélectasies et bandes de fibrose, les lésions cavitaires et les épaississements pleuraux English abstract Objective: To describe the radiographic aspect of pulmonary tuberculosis sequelae on chest x-Ray at the Jamot Hospital of Yaoundé. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study was conducted, involving the recruitment of patients treated at the Jamot Hospital of Yaounde for pulmonary tuberculosis with a bacteriological proof, and reported "healed" or "treatment complete" at the end of their TB treatment. The elementary lesions, their topography, category and extension were described. The determination of the percentage of radiographic extension was assessed through the subdivision of each lung field into 3 regions. Entry of data was done on Epi Data version 3.1 and analysed using SPSS version 23.0. Results: The final size of our study population was 200 patients. Majority of them were males (108 patients, 54%) with a sex ratio of 1.17. The ages ranged from 18 to 83 years with a median (1st-3rd quartile) of 40 (30-75) years. Active smoking was observed in 44 patients (22%).Radiographic evaluation showed that the location of lesions in the upper zones of the lung fields were the most represented with 82.5%. The observed parenchymal lesions were dominated by interstitial infiltrates 94.23%), atelectasis (53.20%), bands of retractile fibrosis, (49.20%) and cavity lesions (20.51%). Pleural thickening (10.89%) was the predominant pleural sequelae. The median percentage (1st-3rd quartile) of radiographic sequelae extension was 10 (1.5-20) % with extremes ranging from 0 to 54%. The lesions of category 3 was predominant (53%) followed by category 1 (41.5%). Conclusion: Radiographic sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis are frequent, dominated by interstitial infiltrates, atelectasis, cavity lesions and pleural thickening. Their topography is mainly superior with a median radiographic extension of 10% of the lung’s fields. Keywords: Pulmonary tuberculosis – Sequelae – Chest radiography –Pleuro-parenchymal

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: the goal of asthma treatment is to obtain and maintain a good control of symptoms. Investigating factors associated with inadequately control asthma could help in strategies to improve asthma control. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with inadequately controlled asthma in asthma patients under chest specialist care. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2012 to May 2013. Physician-diagnosed asthma patients aged 12 years and above were included. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, comorbidities, and medical history of asthma. Asthma control was assessed using the Asthma Control Test (ACT), with a score less than 20 for inadequately controlled asthma and a score greater or equal to 20 for controlled asthma. A multivariate analysis was used to identify factors associated with inadequately controlled asthma. RESULTS: overall, 243 patients were included in this study. Asthma was controlled in 141 patients (58%) and inadequately controlled in 102 (42%). The mean duration of asthma was 8 years with an interquartile range of 4 and 18 years. Forty-three participants (17.7%) were not under any controller medication while the mean ACT score was 19.3 , 4.6. Independent associations were found between inadequately controlled asthma and female gender (OR 1.91; 95% CI 1.06-3.47) and obesity (OR 1.81; 1.01-3.27). CONCLUSION: asthma remains poorly controlled in a large proportion of asthma patients under specialist care in Cameroon. Educational programs for asthma patients targeting women and based on weight loss for obese patients may help in improving the control of asthma.

Abstract

To describe the clinical features at time of testing and explore factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and pre-symptomatic cases in Cameroon.Data was collected on people in Cameroon who participated in COVID-19 testing by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction between 1 March and 5 October 2020. After descriptive analysis, multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and pre-symptomatic cases.Of 85 206 test participants, 14 863 (17.4%) were infected with SARS-CoV-2. The median age for cases was 38.4 years (interquartile range 29.6-49.4); 6.1% were aged19 years, and 6.3% were ≥65 years. Of these cases, 46.5% had at least one symptom/sign with a median time from illness onset to testing of 6 days (interquartile range 3-9). Cough (64.2%), headache (46.5%), fatigue/malaise (46.0%), shortness of breath (30.6%) and myalgia/arthralgia (25.6%) were the most commonly observed symptoms/signs. Pre-symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with age50 years, being male and absence of comorbidities.This study provides a comprehensive summary of the early clinical profile of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first wave of COVID-19 in Cameroon, which was dominated by pre-symptomatic illness. These findings would be helpful for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance and control at a regional level.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is poorly documented in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in the hospital setting. The aim of this study was to determine its prevalence and to investigate the associated factors in patients admitted in a tertiary referral hospital in Cameroon. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study conducted in the Cardiology, Endocrinology and Neurology departments of the Yaounde Central Hospital; all patients aged 21 and older were included consecutively. A sample of randomly selected patients was recorded using a portable sleep monitoring device (PMD). OSAHS was defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5/hour (with > 50% of events being obstructive) and moderate to severe OSAHS as an AHI > 15/hour. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated to OSAHS. RESULTS: Of the 359 patients included, 202 (56.3%) patients were women. The mean age (standard deviation) was 58 (16) years. The prevalence of OSAHS assessed by PMD (95% CI) was 57.7% (48.5-66.9%), 53.8% in men and 62.7% in women (p = 0.44). The median (25th-75th percentiles) AHI, body mass index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale score of OSAHS patients were 17 (10.6-26.9)/hour, 27.4 (24.7-31.6) kg/m2 and 7 (5-9) respectively. The only factor associated to moderate to severe OSAHS was hypertension [odds ratio (95% CI)]: 3.24 (1.08-9.72), p = 0.036. CONCLUSION: OSAHS is a common condition in patients in this health care centre of Cameroon. In the hospital setting, screening for OSAHS in patients with hypertension is recommended., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

Introduction: Au moment où la création des unités neuro-vasculaires est d'actualité, il est nécessaire de connaître les complications des AVC afin de mieux planifier les ressources. L'objectif était d'étudier les complications médicales à la phase aigüe des AVC et d'évaluer l'impact sur la mortalité.Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude transversale analytique sur 5 ans menée à l'Unité de Neurologie du service de Médecine Interne et du service de Réanimation de l'Hôpital Général de Douala. Nous avons inclus les patients âgés de plus de 15 ans admis pour AVC confirmé par un scanner cérébral dans les 15 premiers jours. Etaient exclus les patients avec la thrombose veineuse cérébrale ou l'hémorragie sousarachnoïdienne. Le test de Khi 2 a été utilisé pour rechercher les complications associées à la mortalité. Et les complications ayant un P < 0,200 seront intégrées dans l'analyse multivariée selon le modèle de régression de Cox. P < 0,05 était considéré comme statistiquement significatif.Résultats: Des 580 patients inclus, 57,2 % étaient des hommes et l'âge moyen était de 59,31±12,71 ans. Les complications cliniques étaient retrouvées chez 63,8 % des cas et dominées par le coma (22,8 %), l'infection urinaire (21%), l'infection broncho-pulmonaire (20,7 %), les céphalées (16,6 %) et les troubles de la déglutition (11,7 %) et le paludisme (10,2%). La mortalité globale était 23,62%. Le coma était associé à la mortalité (p = 0,0001). Les anomalies biologiques associées à la mortalité étaient les dysnatrémies (p = 0,0001), les dyskaliémies(p = 0,01) et la thrombopénie (p = 0,02). Le coma [p < 0,0001 ; OR = 50 ; IC95% : 21,95 - 113,88] et la thrombopénie [p < 0,04 ; OR = 2,67 ; IC95% : 1,04 - 6,83] sont apparus comme facteurs prédictifs de mortalité.Conclusion: Les complications sont nombreuses au cours des AVC et associées à une mortalité élevée. La mise en place des unités neurovasculaires devrait tenir compte de ces complications au moment d'identifier les ressources nécessaires mais aussi au moment de la formation du personnel dédié.Mots clés: Accident vasculaire cérébral - complications - mortalité -DoualaEnglish Title: Medical complications in the acute phase of cerebral vascular accidentsEnglish AbstractIntroduction: Stroke is a major public health problem worldwide. In developing countries, stroke mortality is high compare to those due to the three main killer infectious diseases including tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS and malaria. It represents the first cause of hospitalization in the neurology services in Sub-Saharan Africa. Mortality is often due to complications that can be neurologic or not neurological. For a better allocation of resources, it is necessary to know the complications that may occur in stroke patient.Objective: The aim of our study was to describe medical complications during the acute phase of stroke and their impact on mortality at the Douala General Hospital (DGH).Method: This was a longitudinal retrospective study that was carried out from 01st January 2010 to 31 December 2014. It was conducted in the Neurological Unit of the Service of Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Units of DGH. Were included in the study all the file of patient aged above 15 years admitted for stroke confirmed by brain imaging. Patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral venous thrombosis were excluded. Qualitative variables were compared by the Chi-square test while the Student t test was used to compare quantitative variables. Independent predictors of death were found using multivariate analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: We include 580 patients with 57.24% been men. The mean age was 59.31 ± 12.71 years. The leading stroke risk factors were hypertension (71.2%), alcohol (30.5%), diabetes (22.8%), obesity (16.4%), stroke recurrency (16%) and tobacco (15,7%). The mean duration of hospitalization was 8.03 ± 6.26 days. Ischaemic stroke represented 60.5%. 63.8% of patients present at least one clinical complication. Coma (22.8%) and urinary tract infection (21%) were the most common neurological and not neurological complications respectively. The overall mortality was 23.62%. Only coma [p < 0,0001 ; OR = 50 ; IC95% : 21,95 - 113,88] and thrombopenia [p < 0,04 ; OR = 2,67 ; IC95% : 1,04 - 6,83] appeared to predict death in stroke patient.Conclusion: Stroke is associated with high mortality. Coma and thrombopenia are predictive factors of death. There is therefore a clear need to linger in order to better manage these medical complications and a better quality of life for our patients.Keywords: Stroke, medical complication, acute phase, Douala, Cameroon

Abstract

Introduction: in Cameroon patients with multidrug/rifampicin resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR/RR-PTB) are treated with a 9-11 month standardised shorter treatment regimen. Despite its effectiveness, factors associated with the occurrence of an unfavourable treatment outcome in this group of patients are not known. Determine the incidence and identify factors associated with an unfavourable treatment outcome among patients with rifampicin resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (RR-PTB) in Yaoundé. Methods: we conducted a retrospective record review of all consecutive patients with bacteriologically confirmed RR-PTB followed up at the specialised MDR/RR-TB treatment centre of the Jamot Hospital in Yaoundé (JHY) from January 2013 to November 2019. A patient was classified as having an unfavourable outcome if he/she had treatment failure, died or was lost to follow-up during the course of treatment. Results: a total of 242 RR-PTB patients with a mean age of 35.59 ± 12.02 years including 144 (59.5%) males were registered. Forty-nine (49) of the 242 patients had an unfavourable treatment outcome giving a cumulative incidence of 20.20% (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 15.40-25.90%). Multivariable analysis revealed that patients with an unfavourable outcome were more likely to be males (odds ratio (OR): 2.94; 95% CI: 1.24-7.00, p= 0.015), HIV infected (OR: 2.67; 95% CI: 1.17-6.06, p = 0.019), and have a baseline haemoglobin level ≤ 10g/dl (OR: 2.87; 95% CI: 1.25-6.58, p = 0.013). Conclusion: the rate of an unfavourable treatment outcome among patients with RR-PTB at the specialised MDR/RR-TB treatment centre of the JHY is relatively high. The male sex, HIV infection and moderate to severe anaemia are independent factors associated with an unfavourable treatment outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Eric W Pefura Yone,1,2 André P Kengne31Department of Internal Medicine and Subspecialties, Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon; 2Approved Centre for HIV Treatment and Pneumology Service, Yaounde Jamot Hospital, Cameroon; 3South African Medical Research Council and University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South AfricaAbstract: An extended-release formulation of nevirapine (NVP-XR) has been developed with the aim of simplifying antiretroviral treatment regimens and improving patients’ adherence with a single daily intake. The VERxVE and TRANxITION clinical trials have demonstrated the noninferiority of NVP-XR compared with nevirapine immediate-release (NVP-IR) on viral load after 24 and 48 months of treatment. The tolerance profiles of NVP-XR and NVP-IR are similar. Simplifying the treatment dosage for NVP would likely improve adherence to antiretroviral treatments.Keywords: nevirapine extended release, HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy, efficacy, safety

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease which could cause depressive phenomena like those observed in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Our study aimed at evaluating the changes of T-cells and certain blood parameters during intensive phase of TB treatment. In this prospective cohort, 140 consenting tuberculosis patients were enrolled. 5ml of blood was collected at baseline (M0), after one month (M1) and after two months (M2). Enumeration of CD4 cells, CD8 cells, and hematological parameters were done following standard protocols.The 118 participants comprised 63 (53.4%) TB/HIV negative patients (group 1) and 55 (46.6%) TB/HIV positive patients (group 2). At M0, blood levels of CD4, hemoglobin, total lymphocytes and platelets in group 2 were significantly lower than those of group 1 with p values of 0.001, 0.002, 0.018 and 0.032 respectively. CD8 level was significantly low in group 1 as compared to group 2 (p value: 0.38). Monocytes were low in both groups with no significant difference (p value: 0.097). At M2, there was a significant increase in the levels of CD4, CD8, monocytes, and hemoglobin as compared to M0. There was no significant change on level of total lymphocytes and platelets. In group 2: At M2, there was a significant increase in the levels of CD4, monocytes, hemoglobin, and platelets, and no statistically significant change on levels of CD8 cells and total lymphocytes. TB infection may result in lymphopenia, monopenia, and anemia, while co-infection with HIV may add thrombopenia to the mentioned disorders.
