Bacterial sexually transmitted infections and syndromic approach: a study conducted on women at Moroccan University Hospital.

Introduction: In Morocco, a syndromic approach has been implemented for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) management. However, those infections can be asymptomatic and the use of the syndromic approach to their management can be inappropriate and lead to dissemination of infection. Therefore, it would be important to determine the epidemiology and risk factors of bacterial STIs ( (NG), (CT) and (MG)) in a Moroccan population and their association with symptoms to assess the appropriacy of the use of the syndromic approach.

Detection of Biovars and Subtyping of among Women Referring to a University Hospital in Morocco.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of biovars and () serovars, their associated risk factors, and genital STI-related symptoms.

Methods: DNA obtained from cervical samples of 1053 women attending the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the laboratory of pathological anatomy of Hassan II university hospital of Fez, Morocco, was used to detect biovars ( and ) and to subtype by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results: Of the 1053 women examined, 25.

[Acquired vaginal stenosis: about a case and literature review].

Vaginal stenosis or gynatresia is a congenital disease and it is part of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kustner-Hauser syndrome. Acquired vaginal stenosis is a rare complication of vaginal delivery and may be caused by an infection, charlatans, birth injury or postpartum hypoestrogeny. We report a case of postpartum complete vaginal stenosis secondary to vaginal injuries as a result of medical negligence.

Molecular Antimicrobial Resistance of in a Moroccan Area.

Objectives: To identify the prevalence and the types of (NG) resistance plasmids-mediated penicillin (PPNG) and tetracycline (TRNG), the ciprofloxacin resistance (CRNG), and related risk factors of each types of resistance.

Methods: The beta-lactamase-producing plasmid types (Africa, Asia, and Toronto), tetracycline resistance plasmid types (America and Dutch), and the determination of the Ser-91 mutation of GyrA were detected by specifics PCRs on 149 diagnosed NG positives samples followed by digestion for and mutation.

Results: 135 (90.

[Radio-histological correlation of ACR4 microcalcifications in breast lesions: about 181 cases and literature review].

The Bi-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) classification developed by the ACR (American College of Radiology) is the classification system for radiological images recommended for breast cancer screening. The ACR 4 microcalcification is an indeterminate or suspected abnormality with 2-95% probability of malignancy, according to studies. This disparity pushed us to conduct this retrospective study of 181 patients in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology I at the Hassan II University Hospital, Fez, over a period of 5 years.

[Clinical and radiological features of gestational trophoblastic tumors].

Gestational trophoblastic disease incorporates a group of diseases which differ from each other by their regressive evolution, their evolution to metastasis and to recurrence. It is a severe disease that affects women of childbearing age. Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTT) are the malignant forms of gestational trophoblastic diseases.

[Normal adnexal torsion and pregnancy: about a case].

Normal adnexal torsion is rare during pregnancy. We here report the case of a 22-year old patient presenting with acute lateropelvic pain associated with a 2-month history amenorrhea. Exploratory laparotomy showed severe ischemia due to torsion in a normal ovary.

[Rudimentary horn pregnancy diagnostic: difficulties and therapeutic management].

The occurrence of rudimentary horn pregnancy is an extremely rare and potentially serious obstetric entity, threatening maternal and fetal outcome. The authors report five cases of rudimentary horn pregnancy, the difficulties in making a proper diagnosis and the therapeutic management of this pathological entity, stressing the importance of transvaginal ultrasound, of pelvic MRI and laparoscopy in the early diagnosis of this type of uterine malformation.

Distribution of Carcinogenic Human Papillomavirus Genotypes and Association to Cervical Lesions among Women in Fez (Morocco).

Objectives: To determine the distribution of cervical high-risk human papillomavirus genotypes and their association to cellular abnormalities in women from Fez and its neighborhood.

Methods: Women attending the Hassan II University Hospital for cervical pap smears were recruited after an informed consent. Interviews and two cervical samples were performed for each woman.

Primary chondrosarcoma of the breast: a case presentation and review of the literature.

Mammary sarcomas are uncommon tumors. When tumors like malignant cystosarcomaphyllodes and metaplastic carcinoma, where malignant cartilaginous areas may be present, are excluded, only nine cases have been reported to date.We report another case of primary chondrosarcoma of the breast here.

Correlates of HPV: a cross-sectional study in women with normal cytology in north-central Morocco.

Introduction: Epidemiological studies have shown the association between risk of developing cervical cancer and the persistence of high-risk papillomavirus types in addition to some co-factors. However, little is known about co-factors associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially in developing countries. This study aims to determine HPV status and associated risk factors in women with normal cytology living in the north-central area of Morocco.
