In Mali, to our knowledge, no study concerning UTIs in the elderly has been conducted, hence the interest in this innovative work. <strong>Objectives:</strong> To determine the prevalence and clinical and paraclinical aspects of urinary tract infections in the elderly. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This was a prospective descriptive and cross-sectional study from September 1, 2013 to August 31, 2014, <i>i.e. </i> duration of 12 months. All patients aged 65 years and over, hospitalized or ambulatory in the internal medicine department with a documented urinary tract infection were included. <strong>Results:</strong> We collected and examined 194 patients. The cytobacteriological study of urine (CBSU) was positive in 28 patients, <i>i.e. </i> a prevalence of 14.43%. The male sex represented 59.8% of the cases, the sex ratio was equal to 1.46. The age groups between 65 - 69 and 70 - 74 years were the most affected, respectively 28.57% and 39.28%. The main clinical signs were: asthenia, anorexia, dependence, fever, urinary burning, dysuria. Hospitalization was associated with urinary tract infection with P = 0.01. The group of enterobacteria were incriminated in 75% of cases. <i>Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> represented 39.28%, 14.28% and 10.71% of cases. Urinary tract infections were represented by pyelonephritis, acute prostatitis, orchi-epididymitis and simple cystitis. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Urinary tract infection is frequent in the elderly, its clinical presentation is polymorphic and enterobacteria are the most incriminated group of bacteria.展开更多

The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of the diabetic foot in a hospital setting in Bamako. Methodology: This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional and monocentric study conducted between September 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 on diabetic patients aged 14 years and older arriving in our department with a foot infection. Results: We identified 94 cases of diabetic foot infection out of a total of 828 hospitalized patients, a prevalence of 11.35%. The age range 41 - 60 years represented 57 cases (60.6%), the extreme ages were 14 and 81 years. Men (38.3%), women (61.7%) with a sex ratio of 0.62%. Housewives 50%, illiterate 51 cases (54.3%), low economic standard of living 40 cases (42.6%), presence of osteitis 40 cases (42.6%), foot at stage D Grade3 28 cases (29.8%). Management was medical in 48 cases (51.1%), treatment with insulin 58 cases (61.7%), Amoxicillin + Metronidazole used 36 cases (38.29%). Amputation was performed in 35 cases (37.2%). Deaths concerned 5 patients (9.6%) with hypoglycemia as the main cause in 4 cases. Conclusion: Diabetic foot is a frequent complication of diabetes. The establishment of a multidisciplinary team should contribute to the improvement of the prognosis of the diabetic foot in a management center.展开更多

This delay is related to the insidious nature of renal disease, the lack of qualified personnel and structures for the management of these conditions and the context of chronic insecurity in our country. In Kayes, there is no data related to the first consultations of patients with the nephrologist, hence the interest of this study, which aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing a first nephrological consultation in Kayes hospital. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted from January 1 to December 31, 2020 at the nephrology unit of the Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes. All patients received for nephrological consultation for whom a medical record was made were included. The following data were collected and analyzed: the specialty of the medical referent, the reason for consultation, sociodemographic characteristics and the renal assessment of patients. Patients who consulted for non-nephrological pathologies and those who had no medical record were not included. Results: We collected the records of 346 patients, composed of 180 (52%) women and 166 (48%) men, i.e. a sex ratio of 0.92. The age group [20 - 40 years] was the most represented, 107 cases or 30.9%, with a mean age of 48.84 ± 21.33 years and extremes of 1 and 90 years. Housewives were the most consulted population, 149 cases (41.33%). Patients consulted more between the months of January and February, 116 cases (33.5%), this period was followed by the months of October-December, July-September and April-June with respectively 94 cases (27.2%), 76 cases (22.0%) and 60 cases (17.3%). The patients were referred by the general practitioner in 59.5% (209 cases), specialist doctor, 26.0% (90 cases). The patients came mainly from hospital practitioners, 172 cases (49.7%), private clinic and practice 81 cases (23.4%), community health center (CSCOM), 69 cases (19.9%). The main reasons for consultation were hypercreatinemia 205 cases (59.2%), low back pain 46 cases (13.3%) and edematous syndrome 16 cases (4.6%). The mean blood pressure was 140/80 mmHg with extremes of 70 and 240 mmHg for systolic and 40 and 160 mmHg for diastolic. Mean creatinine was 660.53 μmol/l ± 821.311 with extremes of 46 and 5447 μmol/l. Patients transferred from the emergency department had a creatinine level above 700 μmol/l in 41.1% (39) of cases (p = 0.003 Person’s Chi-square = 8643 ddl = 1). Among the 316 patients who had a blood count, anemia was found in 221 (69.9%) and the mean hemoglobin level was 9.61 g/dl ± 3.11 with extremes of 1.70 g/dl and 19.56 g/dl. The diagnostic hypotheses evoked were acute renal failure (124 cases, i.e. 38.5%), chronic renal failure (81 cases, i.e. 23.7%). Conclusion: Primary nephrological consultation is more solicited by general practitioners. The consultations, often in the emergency room, were motivated by significant hypercreatinemia. Awareness of the nursing staff, the patients and the political authorities are necessary to encourage nephrological consultations at an early stage of the renal disease.展开更多

The diabetic foot is the set of pathological manifestations affecting the foot in relation to the diabetic disease. Approximately 5% of diabetics present a chronic lesion of the foot. <strong>Objective: </strong>To describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the diabetic foot in the medicine/endocrinology department of the Mali hospital. <strong>Methodology:</strong> This was a retrospective descriptive study from November 2011 to December 2015. It focused on diabetic patients hospitalized in the department with a foot wound and aged 14 years and over. Results: The study involved 94 patients out of 828 hospitalized, a prevalence of 11.35%. Our series included 36 (38.3%) men and 58 (61.7%) women, <em>i.e.</em> a sex ratio of 0.61%. The mean age was 42.66 years with extremes of 14 and 81 years. Type 2 diabetes was present in 95% of the patients with a duration of evolution of more than 5 years in 60.6% of the cases. The mechanism of occurrence of the wounds was minor trauma in 54 cases (57.4%). Self-medication was the primary treatment in 70 patients (74.5%). More than 50% of the patients wore unsuitable footwear. Clinical and para-clinical examinations revealed isolated neuropathy in 37 cases (39.4%), necrotic wound in 37 cases (39.19%), poor glycemic control: HbA1c > 7% (98.9%), absence of osteitis (57.4%), normal Doppler ultrasound 45 cases (45.7%), stenosing arteriopathy 11 cases (22.3%), non-stenosing 3 cases (20.2%), germs present 56 cases (59.6%) including 21 cases (22.4%) of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Diabetes and diabetic foot constitute a real public health problem. They are responsible for dreadful and sometimes disabling complications. Its management is multidisciplinary and requires significant financial resources.展开更多

It is a disease with high thromboembolic risk. Peripheral vein thrombosis is common, while its association with pulmonary localizations has been more rarely reported. We report a case of nephrotic syndrome revealed by an association of pulmonary embolism, renal vein and inferior vena cava thrombosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by thoracic angioscan. Renal biopsy revealed Focal Segmental Hyalinosis (FSH). An anti-coagulant treatment and an anti-proteinuric treatment were instituted based on a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) associated with the conversion enzyme inhibitor (perindopril).展开更多

Objective: To determine the proportion of parturients with unknown Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) status in the delivery room and to identify the associated factors. Methods: We conducted a prospective descriptive study carried out at the Reference Health Center of Commune IV in the district of Bamako from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018. The sample size was 267 parturients. The word processing was carried out on World software from the 2016 office suite at the end of the data entry and analysis was carried out on the IBM software, SPSS version 22.0. Results: A total of 267 women were eligible for our study, among which 14 parturients were seropositive, i.e., a proportion of 5.2% of cases. The knowledge of parturients on HIV was 95.5% of cases, but more than half did not know the mode of mother-child transmission. Unschooled parturients were the most represented with 41.2%. Conclusion: In view of the large proportion (5.2%) of HIV-positive parturients in our study, voluntary screening activities in the delivery room remain necessary for the future of children born to HIV-positive mothers.展开更多

Objective: Screen the foot at risk in diabetic patients at the hospital of Mali. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study from January 1st, 2016 to June 30, 2016, at the Department of Internal Medicine and endocrinology of the Hospital of Mali. It was focused on all hospitalized diabetic patients. Results: Thirty-two (32) patients had a foot at risk among 76 diabetic patients during the study period representing 42.10%. The sex ratio was 0.52. Type 2 diabetes accounted for 82%. A glycemic imbalance (HBA1C > 7%) was observed in 88.15%. Eighteen percent (18%) of patients had a history of ulceration or amputation;33% were walking barefoot;78.9% had tingles in the foot;31.6% had intermittent claudication;64.5% had foot cleanliness;8% claw toes;42% had abolition or reduction of superficial tenderness to monofilament and 21% had mixed foot (neuropathy + arteriopathy). In our study, 58.9% of patients had no risk of podiatry. Conclusion: Screening of foot at risk is essential in the management of diabetes because it determines the podiatric risk enabling to minimize future functional disabilities.展开更多

The main objective of this work was to study the management of hemorrhages in the third trimester of pregnancy in the maternity ward of the Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti. Our prospective descriptive cross-sectional survey type study conducted at the maternity ward of Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti over a period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 included 94 cases collected. During this period we had performed 1485 deliveries including 94 cases of pregnancies complicated by 3rd trimester hemorrhage, a frequency of 6.33%. The main cause of hemorrhage in the third trimester was represented by placenta preavia 42.6% followed by retroplacental hematoma 28.7%, uterine rupture 26.6% and association Placenta preavia and retroplacental hematoma 2.1%. The type of intervention depended on the cause of the hemorrhage and the maternal and fetal condition. More than half of the cases of uterine rupture 52% had benefited from a hysterorrhaphy during a laparotomy (n = 13/25) against 48% from hysterectomy (n = 12/25). Caesarean section was performed in 87.5% (n = 35/40) against 12.5% vaginal delivery (n = 5/40) in case of placenta preavia. In the end, in 74% of cases (n = 20/27) of retroplacental hematoma, first-line cesarean section was performed. The maternal prognosis was represented by a mortality rate of 12% (n = 11/94) and morbidity dominated by hypovolemic shock 48.9% (n = 22/94), infections 28.8% (n = 13/94) and coagulopathy 11.1% (n = 5/94). The fetal prognosis was very poor. More than half (55%) of the newborns had succumbed against 45% of the newly born. In 55.3% of cases neonatal mortality occurred antenatally. Neonatal morbidity was represented by prematurity, i.e. 20.2% (n = 19/94) and low birth weight, i.e. 22.3% (n = 21/94).展开更多

文摘Introduction: The first nephrological consultation is often late, even in developed countries. This delay is related to the insidious nature of renal disease, the lack of qualified personnel and structures for the management of these conditions and the context of chronic insecurity in our country. In Kayes, there is no data related to the first consultations of patients with the nephrologist, hence the interest of this study, which aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing a first nephrological consultation in Kayes hospital. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted from January 1 to December 31, 2020 at the nephrology unit of the Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes. All patients received for nephrological consultation for whom a medical record was made were included. The following data were collected and analyzed: the specialty of the medical referent, the reason for consultation, sociodemographic characteristics and the renal assessment of patients. Patients who consulted for non-nephrological pathologies and those who had no medical record were not included. Results: We collected the records of 346 patients, composed of 180 (52%) women and 166 (48%) men, i.e. a sex ratio of 0.92.

文摘Adult Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is defined by proteinuria > 3 g/24h or 50 mg/kg/day, hypoprotidemia < 60 g/24h, hypoalbuminemia < 30 g/L. It is a disease with high thromboembolic risk. Peripheral vein thrombosis is common, while its association with pulmonary localizations has been more rarely reported. We report a case of nephrotic syndrome revealed by an association of pulmonary embolism, renal vein and inferior vena cava thrombosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by thoracic angioscan. Renal biopsy revealed Focal Segmental Hyalinosis (FSH). An anti-coagulant treatment and an anti-proteinuric treatment were instituted based on a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) associated with the conversion enzyme inhibitor (perindopril).

It was focused on all hospitalized diabetic patients. Results: Thirty-two (32) patients had a foot at risk among 76 diabetic patients during the study period representing 42.10%. The sex ratio was 0.52. Type 2 diabetes accounted for 82%. A glycemic imbalance (HBA1C > 7%) was observed in 88.15%. Eighteen percent (18%) of patients had a history of ulceration or amputation;33% were walking barefoot;78.9% had tingles in the foot;31.6% had intermittent claudication;64.5% had foot cleanliness;8% claw toes;42% had abolition or reduction of superficial tenderness to monofilament and 21% had mixed foot (neuropathy + arteriopathy). In our study, 58.9% of patients had no risk of podiatry. Conclusion: Screening of foot at risk is essential in the management of diabetes because it determines the podiatric risk enabling to minimize future functional disabilities.
文摘The authors report a case of systemic lupus associated with a composite heterozygosis SC with thalassemic component in a 19-year-old patient hospitalized for anemia and polyarthralgia who has a staturoponderal delay, macular erythematous lesions in butterfly wings on the face and ears, photosensitivity, puffy face, alopecia, pubic and axillary hair loss, scalp dermatophytosis, painful swelling of the interphalangeal joints, wrists and knees. The hemoglobin electrophoresis showed a compound heterozygote SC associated with β thalassemia. Antinuclear antibodies were positive with an anti-Sm positive antibody. Conclusion: The diagnosis of both diseases can be difficult when symptoms are concomitant and look alike.
文摘Third trimester bleeding is a common concern in obstetrics. The main objective of this work was to study the management of hemorrhages in the third trimester of pregnancy in the maternity ward of the Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti. Our prospective descriptive cross-sectional survey type study conducted at the maternity ward of Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti over a period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 included 94 cases collected. During this period we had performed 1485 deliveries including 94 cases of pregnancies complicated by 3rd trimester hemorrhage, a frequency of 6.33%. The main cause of hemorrhage in the third trimester was represented by placenta preavia 42.6% followed by retroplacental hematoma 28.7%, uterine rupture 26.6% and association Placenta preavia and retroplacental hematoma 2.1%. The type of intervention depended on the cause of the hemorrhage and the maternal and fetal condition. More than half of the cases of uterine rupture 52% had benefited from a hysterorrhaphy during a laparotomy (n = 13/25) against 48% from hysterectomy (n = 12/25). Caesarean section was performed in 87.5% (n = 35/40) against 12.5% vaginal delivery (n = 5/40) in case of placenta preavia. In the end, in 74% of cases (n = 20/27) of retroplacental hematoma, first-line cesarean section was performed. The maternal prognosis was represented by a mortality rate of 12% (n = 11/94) and morbidity dominated by hypovolemic shock 48.9% (n = 22/94), infections 28.8% (n = 13/94) and coagulopathy 11.1% (n = 5/94). The fetal prognosis was very poor. More than half (55%) of the newborns had succumbed against 45% of the newly born. In 55.3% of cases neonatal mortality occurred antenatally. Neonatal morbidity was represented by prematurity, i.e. 20.2% (n = 19/94) and low birth weight, i.e. 22.3% (n = 21/94).
