Case report: 11 years on hemodialysis with a 4-year-old baby girl: A success story.

Despite advances in clinical management and dialysis care, the outcome of unplanned pregnancy in women on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains a difficult journey for the patient, fetus, and healthcare staff, particularly in low-resource countries. We report the successful outcome of a pregnancy in an anuric woman on twice-weekly maintenance hemodialysis for chronic glomerulonephritis since November 2012 in Cameroon. She was discovered pregnant at 18 weeks of gestation.

Prevalence and determinants of virological failure in HIV-infected children on antiretroviral therapy in rural Cameroon: a cross-sectional study.

Background: In Africa, success of antiretroviral treatment (ART) seems to lag behind in children compared with adults, and high therapeutic failure rates have been reported. We aimed to identify prevalence and determinants of virological failure in HIV-infected children treated under programmatic conditions.

Methods: All patients <18 years on ART presenting to the HIV clinic at the Bamenda Regional Hospital, a secondary referral hospital in rural Cameroon, from September 2010 to August 2011, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.
