Background



 



Global estimates for cholera annually approximate 4 million cases worldwide with 95,000 deaths. Recent outbreaks, including Haiti and Yemen, are reminders that cholera is still a global health concern. Cholera outbreaks can rapidly induce high death tolls by overwhelming the capacity of health facilities, especially in remote areas or areas of civil unrest. Recent studies demonstrated that stool specimens preserved on filter paper facilitate molecular analysis of Vibrio cholerae in resource limited settings. Specimens preserved in a rapid, low-cost, s Read more...

Introduction: le faible poids de naissance (FPN) est un important prédicteur de survie de l’enfant et de son développement ultérieur. De par sa physiopathologie, le paludisme est présumé en être un des facteurs de risques. La présente étude avait pour but de déterminer l’association entre l’accès palustre chez la femme enceinte (FE) et la survenue du FPN (poids < 2500 g).



Méthodes: il s’est agi d’une enquête analytique de type cas-témoins, basée sur l’administration d’un questionnaire et d’une grille d’observation. Nous avons calculé l’Odds ratio Read more...
