[Simultaneous Quadruple Therapy In The Treatment Of Helicobacter Pylori During Peptic Ulcer Disease].

Unlabelled: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection plays an important role in the genesis of peptic ulcer disease. In the absence of susceptibility testing, concomitant quadruple therapy is one of the most widely used eradication methods. In the absence of a study on four-drug therapy and the difficulty of studying antibiotic susceptibility in our context, we initiated this work in order to evaluate the efficacy of an empirical treatment with concomitant four-drug therapy currently available.

Urinary disease in 2 Dogon populations with different exposure to Schistosoma haematobium infection: progression of bladder and kidney diseases in children and adults.

Background: Schistosoma haematobium infection causes severe urinary disease and considerable mortality. The factors that determine disease progression from mild to severe stages are not fully understood.

Methods: Here we describe a cross-sectional epidemiological study of kidney and bladder diseases in 2 Dogon populations with different exposure to S.

Difference in susceptibility to malaria between two sympatric ethnic groups in Mali.

We compared malaria indicators among sympatric groups to study human heterogeneities in the response to Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection. Four cross-sectional surveys and two longitudinal surveys in two sympatric ethnic groups (Dogon and Fulani) in Mali were carried out from 1998 to 2000. Spleen and parasite rates were evaluated during the cross-sectional surveys and disease incidence was assessed during longitudinal surveys.
