Published: March 2002

Purpose: The goal of this study was to describe the distinctive hysterosalpingographic features of women with infertility in Burkina Faso.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 1019 women who were referred for infertility between January 1996 to June 1997 at the National Hospital Centre of Ouagadougou. Clinical and radiological features were reviewed and statistical data analysed on the software EPI Info 5.0.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 28+/-0,3 years. Primary infertility was found in 34.4% and secondary infertility in 65.6%. Abnormalities on plain film were present in 6.9% of the cases. Hysterosalpingography was abnormal in 62.1% of the cases. Tubal abnormalities were found in 62% and uterine lesions in 38.3%. The main hysterosalpingographic abnormalities were tubal obstructions, hydrosalpinx, uterine fibromas, and trauma sequelae in 25,9%, 25,3%, 16,5% and 10% of cases respectively. Seventy one percent of tubal and uterine lesions represent outcomes of chronic infections and underground abortions.

Conclusion: In Burkina Faso, hysterosalpingographic abnormalities are characterized by the predominance of infectious and traumatic sequelae. Such a frequency could be reduced by active politics against underground abortion and information about genital infections.

Background: Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV typing and cytology are conducted in women of appropriate age to assess the risk of cervical lesions and to guide the need for further diagnostic procedures such as colposcopy, cervical biopsy, or treatment. This article explores methods to predict the risks of high-grade precancerous cervical lesions based on high-risk HPV typing.
