Nutritional Status and Humoral Immune Response to in Children Aged 6-59 Months.

Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa. Children are mostly exposed to this disease; numerous studies have investigated the relationship between child malnutrition and either malaria morbidity or infection. Few studies demonstrated the interaction between child malnutrition and specific anti- immune responses.

Incidence of cancer in people living with HIV and prognostic value of current CD4.

Background: Although Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 71% of the people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) worldwide and Cameroon accounts for about 2% of them, the role of HIV-induced immunodeficiency and exposure to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) in the occurrence of cancers in Cameroon has scarcely been examined. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of cancers in HIV patients and to determine the role of CDcell count in the onset of cancers.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out from medical records of people confirmed to be HIV-positive from 01 July 2003 to 30 April 2013.
