[Idiopathic thyroid abscess: a case study conducted at Marc Sankale Center Dakar].

Thyroid abscess is a very rare disease due to its anatomical position and the physiology of the gland. It most often occurs in the immunosuppressed population. The diagnosis is easy and is based on ultrasound. However it is often unrecognised. Bacteriological examination allows to identify the germ responsible for this condition. We report the case of a Mauritanian patient living in the said country presenting with painful cervical swelling associated with fever. The diagnosis was based on ultrasound and confirmed by fluid examination. Bacteriological assessment didn't identify the cause of th

[Neglected patients, unexpected effects. Ebola virus disease suspected case experience.].

INTRODUCTION: In an epidemic context, the identification of suspected cases, among alert or contact cases, leads to caring for persons for whom only a minority will be confirmed cases, with a laboratory diagnosis positive for Ebola. How are suspected cases treated that are not subsequently confirmed and how do they feel about this experience ? What are the medical or social consequences ? METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted in two countries with a high Ebola risk epidemic situation in 2015-2016 (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire). Based on interviews with suspected cases and caregivers, 12 referr…

Reproducible diagnostic metabolites in plasma from typhoid fever patients in Asia and Africa.

Salmonella Typhi is the causative agent of typhoid. Typhoid is diagnosed by blood culture, a method that lacks sensitivity, portability and speed. We have previously shown that specific metabolomic profiles can be detected in the blood of typhoid patients from Nepal (Näsström et al., 2014). Here, we performed mass spectrometry on plasma from Bangladeshi and Senegalese patients with culture confirmed typhoid fever, clinically suspected typhoid, and other febrile diseases including malaria. After applying supervised pattern recognition modelling, we could significantly distinguish metabolite pro…

[Use of the tourniquet test in diagnosing dengue-like syndrome].

A 26-year-old nurse presented with a three-day history of sudden onset of pyrexia of 39 °C, malaise, and a patchy maculopapular rash, after returning from a monthlong work in Senegal. A tourniquet was applied to help locate the vein for diagnostic blood sampling. After the procedure, a petechial rash erupted with a demarcation line below the level of the tourniquet. A diagnostic test for dengue fever was performed and confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to be positive for serotype DEN-1. The tourniquet test is performed by inflating a blood pressure cuff tied on the upper arm to a…

[Pheochromocytoma in Dakar: report of nine cases].

Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting neoplasm of chromaffin tissue. The most common symptom is hypertension but there are incidentally discovered forms at imaging. From 1981 to 1998, the authors observed nine pheochromocytomas through three hospitals in Dakar. This study included seven male and two female patients. The average age was 31.61 years. Hypertension was present in 77% of the cases. Headache, palpitations and sweating were the authors most frequent symptoms, occuring in 55% of cases. Measurement of vanillyl mandelic acid level in six cases and urinary metanephrines in three

[Amoebic liver abscess: echographic aspects].

Amoebic liver abscess is the most frequent location of the extra-intestine amibiasis with an epidemio-endemic repartition in our areas. We are reporting in this study the main echographic patterns that can be found. 117 documents were collected and studied between 1982 and 1988 in the main hospitals of Dakar (SENEGAL). Most of the patients were young, the range of age being between 25 and 55 years old and 83% of them, were male. The diagnosis of the amoebic liver abscess was evocated on the basis of the following clinical and biological symptoms: 54.38% of painful haetomegaly, 42.10% of pleuro…

[Anti-BCG antibody titers in healthy and leprous Africans. Value of an indirect immunoperoxidase test].

An immunoperoxidase reaction was used for the titration of immunoglobulins G and M antibodies to BCG in 171 leprosy patients from Dakar. The results show mean titers decreasing from lepromatous to tuberculoid cases. The antibody profiles of some clinical forms such as reverse reactions, erythema nodosum leprosum are discussed. This test associated to the Mitsuda reaction, bacteriology and histology should allow an easier classification of the borderline forms. The main advantages of the technique are simplicity, speed, low cost and the easy availability of the BCG. These qualities are essentia

[Epidemiological and anatomopathological profile of endometriosis in Dakar: retrospective study over a period of 20 years].

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a gynecological pathology defined by the presence and abnormal development of endometrial tissue outside the … is a gynecological pathology that is unfortunately not well known, and which is under diagnosed in Senegal.

Последовательный подход на основе ампликонов к вирусу Западного Нила.

Вирус Западного Нила является возрождающимся арбовирусом, воздействие которого на здоровье населения становится все более важным, поскольку все больше и больше эпидемий и эпизоотиков происходит, особенно в Америке и Европе, что свидетельствует об активном распространении в Африке. Поскольку основными водохранилищами являются птицы, миграционные потоки позволяют распространять различные линии в мире. Поэтому крайне важно должным образом контролировать дисперсию этих линий, особенно в связи с тем, что некоторые из них оказывают большее воздействие на здоровье населения, чем другие. В этой работе

This study was carried out on different strains from lineage 1 and 2 from Senegal and Italy. The presented protocol/approach showed good coverage using samples derived from several vertebrate hosts and may be valuable for West Nile genomic surveillance.
