Fat necrosis: A neglected side effect of intramuscular injections.

Panniculitis has various etiologies. One of the less common causes is trauma and hence traumatic fat necrosis (FN). These soft tissue injuries usually appear on the shins, thighs, breasts, arms, and buttocks.

Prevalence, chronological trends and predictors of treatment outcomes among patients with tuberculosis in Southern Tunisia across two decades (1995-2016).

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease common worldwide. Influencing factors in TB outcomes include socio-demographics, as well as disease-related and treatment-related factors. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence trends of unsuccessful treatment outcomes in Southern Tunisia during 1995-2016 and to identify their risk factors.

Prognosis of urinary tract infections: predictive factors and role of Ramadan fasting.

Background: The role of Ramadan fasting (RF) as a predictive factor of urinary tract infection (UTI) recurrence was controversially discussed in the literature.

Aim: The present study aimed to identify the prognosis factors of recurrent UTIs.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients with UTI diagnosed at the infectious diseases department and its affiliated outpatient department in Hedi Chaker University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia, between 2010 and 2017.

Epidemiology and disease burden of tuberculosis in south of Tunisia over a 22-year period: Current trends and future projections.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health problem worldwide. Characterizing its trends over time is a useful tool for decision-makers to assess the efficiency of TB control programs. We aimed to give an update on the current chronological trends of TB in Southern Tunisia from 1995 to 2016 and to estimate future trajectories of TB epidemic by 2030.
