Intestinal Parasitic Infections: A Rare Coinfection by s and in a 10-month-old Infant in Cameroon.

We report a rare case of coinfection by intestinal parasitosis and myiasis ( and ) in a 10-month-old female infant living in Yaounde, an urban area in a low- and middle-income country. Incidental discovery was made following symptoms of acute vomiting and diarrhea with a massive release of an estimated thirty adult worms and larvae through nasal, buccal, and anal routes. Diagnosis was based on the macroscopic appearance of the worms and the fly larvae.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta in neonatal period in Cameroon: A case report.

Early forms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta should be considered as main etiology of bone deformities in newborns. Prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling should be improved in Africa. Management of these children remains difficult in low-income countries.

Chronic cutaneous candidiasis in children: should we stop there? Report of two cases associated with auto-immune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type I.

Background: Auto-immune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type I is a rare genetic disease, usually revealed by chronic superficial candidiasis and autoimmune endocrine dysfunction in childhood.

Cases Presentation: We report the cases of 2 children, a 4 years-11 months old boy and 13 years old adolescent, admitted and followed up in the endocrinology unit of the Mother and Child Centre of Chantal Biya's Foundation for auto-immune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

Conclusion: The occurrence of chronic cutaneous candidiasis in a child should always imply endocrine screening, to exclude auto-immune polyendocrine syndrome type I.

Observational study of disorders of sex development in Yaounde, Cameroon.

Introduction According to the current classification of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (LWPES) and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD), etiologies vary around the world. Ethnic or genetic diversity probably explains this variability. We therefore conducted the present study on etiologies of DSDs in a country from central Africa.

Dyshormonogenesis seems to be more frequent in a group of Cameroonian children with congenital hypothyroidism.

Congenital hypothyroidism is a main congenital endocrine disorder, affecting 1 in 4000 births. It is not well described in sub-Saharan countries, and to draw attention to that issue, we decided to describe affected pediatric patients. We retrospectively analyzed the records of eight patients over a period of 6 years.
