Article Synopsis
- The study examined SARS-CoV-2 immunity in Cameroon from August 2021 to September 2022, assessing changes in antibody levels, mortality rates, and vaccination.
- Seroprevalence surged from 11.2% to nearly 60% while COVID-19-related deaths dropped dramatically, indicating improved immunity without a corresponding rise in vaccinations.
- The findings suggest that high vaccination rates may not be necessary for controlling outbreaks in Africa, urging policymakers to consider local research for better epidemic management strategies.
Background: Little is known about attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination in sub-Saharan Africa, where immunisation coverage is the lowest in the world.
Aim: The study aimed to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake in Cameroon, and assess changes in these factors over a period of time.
Setting: The study was conducted in the ten regions of Cameroon.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and the various types of glaucoma in a Black urban Cameroonian population.
Material And Method: A retrospective analysis of 1,343 glaucomatous patients' files (757 men and 586 women) from a total of 24,462 Cameroonian patients of all ages was carried out from January 1991 to December 2001 in the Douala General Hospital in Cameroon in Central Africa.
Results: The prevalence of glaucoma of all types is 5.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines late post-traumatic glaucoma, especially from irido-corneal angle injuries, focusing on black Cameroonian patients over a 10-year period.
- Out of 1343 glaucomatous patients, 57 had post-traumatic glaucoma, with 28 cases attributed to irido-corneal angle injuries, reflecting a prevalence of 2.1%.
- The findings show high rates of monocular blindness, significant delays in diagnosis, and poor treatment outcomes, urging the need for enhanced trauma prevention and patient follow-up.
The authors carried out a retrospective study in order to assess the efficacy of intrabled autologous blood injections after trabeculectomy. The indication for treatment was hypotony associated with overfiltration. Twelve eyes of 12 patients including seven men (58.
