Genetic and antigenic characterization of influenza A(H3N2) virus after 13 consecutive years of influenza surveillance in Senegal, 2010-2022.

Despite decades of influenza surveillance in many African countries, little is known about the evolutionary dynamics of seasonal influenza viruses. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological, genetic and antigenic profiles of A/H3N2 viruses in Senegal from 2010 to 2022. A/H3N2 infection was confirmed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

[Prevention of the risk thromboembolic risk of atrial fibrillation in the cardiology department of Abidjan].

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder whose incidence with age and which is responsible for high morbidity and mortality.

Objective: Evaluate the thromboembolic risk of patients with atrial fibrillation and analyze the quality of the oral anticoagulation therapy at the Abidjan cardiology institute.

Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective and prospective cross-sectional study, with descriptive and analytical aims in 332 patients followed for atrial fibrillation diagnosed on the electrocardiogram.

Type 2 Myocardial Infarction in a Sub-Saharan Africa Population: Challenging the Current Concepts-Data From REACTIV.

Background: From a large observational acute coronary syndrome registry in Côte d'Ivoire, we aimed to assess incidence, clinical presentation, management, and in-hospital outcomes for type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) compared with type 1 MI.

Methods And Results: We conducted a cross-sectional monocentric study using data from REACTIV (Registre des Infarctus de Côte d'Ivoire) at the Abidjan Heart Institute. All patients hospitalized with MI between 2018 and 2022 who underwent coronary angiography were included.

Genomic Characterization of a Bataï Orthobunyavirus, Previously Classified as Ilesha Virus, from Field-Caught Mosquitoes in Senegal, Bandia 1969.

Bataï virus (BATV), belonging to the Orthobunyavirus genus, is an emerging mosquito-borne virus with documented cases in Asia, Europe, and Africa. It causes various symptoms in humans and ruminants. Another related virus is Ilesha virus (ILEV), which causes a range of diseases in humans and is mainly found in African countries.

[Acute heart failure with altered ejection fraction : Electrocardiographic signs with mortality at the Abidjan cardiology institute].

Introduction: Heart failure with impaired ejection fraction (HFIEF) represents the end-stage of most cardiac diseases, and is responsible for a high mortality rate. In order to identify patients at risk, numerous clinical and paraclinical prognostic factors have been proposed. The electrocardiogram (ECG), easy to perform and inexpensive, retains a powerful role in the prognostic evaluation of heart failure patients.
