Childhood Hearing Impairment in Senegal.

We recently showed that variants in explained Hearing Impairment (HI) in 34.1% ( = 15/44) of multiplex families in Senegal. The present study aimed to use community-based nationwide recruitment to determine the etiologies and the clinical profiles of childhood HI in Senegal.

Blunt Abdominal Trauma in Children: A Review of 105 Cases.

Aims: The aim of the study is to identify the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and evolutionary characteristics of patients admitted for blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) in a level 3 children's hospital.

Results: The frequency was 13.1 cases/year.

Fibromatosis Colli: About 26 Cases.

Aims: The aim is to identify the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic, evolutionary aspects, and risk factors related to the occurrence of this condition.

Subjects And Methods: It was a retrospective and descriptive study of a series of 26 cases of fibromatosis colli collected over a period of 3 years (from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019). We studied the following parameters: frequency, age, sex, delay of consultation, motive of consultation, gravidity, parity, type of delivery, notion of birth trauma, birth weight, examination findings, ultrasound results, type of treatment, and evolutionary modalities.

Is a Major Cause of Non-Syndromic Hearing Impairment in Senegal.

This study aimed to investigate GJB2 (MIM: 121011) and GJB6 (MIM: 604418) variants associated with familial non-syndromic hearing impairment (HI) in Senegal. We investigated a total of 129 affected and 143 unaffected individuals from 44 multiplex families by segregating autosomal recessive non-syndromic HI, 9 sporadic HI cases of putative genetic origin, and 148 control individuals without personal or family history of HI. The DNA samples were screened for GJB2 coding-region variants and GJB6-D3S1830 deletions.

Choledochal cyst in children in dakar: Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Context: Choledochal cyst is a rare malformation that mainly affects girls.

Aims: The aim of this work is to report the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of bile duct cyst in children in Dakar.

Subjects And Methods: we conducted a prospective monocentre descriptive study from 1 July, 2016, to 30 June, 2019, in the Pediatric Surgery Department of Albert Royer Children's Hospital in Dakar.

Prescription patterns of analgesics, antipyretics, and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the management of fever and pain in pediatric patients: a cross-sectional, multicenter study in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Objective: To evaluate the daily practice of pediatricians, physician-perceived reasons for unsatisfactory effects of treatment, and unmet needs in the management of acute pain and/or fever.

Methods: This was a multinational (n=13), multicenter, non interventional, cross-sectional study conducted in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East in children under 16 years of age with fever (defined as a central body temperature ≥38°C) and/or acute pain (defined as pain lasting ≤6 weeks). Data were collected during a single visit using a structured physician-administered questionnaire and case report forms.

Inpatient and outpatient treatment for acute malnutrition in infants under 6 months; a qualitative study from Senegal.

Background: Treatment of acute malnutrition in infants under 6 months is a relevant topic regarding the global problem of maternal and child malnutrition. While treatment for older age groups has shifted more towards an outpatient, community based approach, young infants are mostly treated in hospital. This study aims to describe barriers and facilitators for outpatient and inpatient treatment of malnourished infants under 6 months in Senegal.

Peritoneal Tuberculosis in Infants: Diagnostic Challenges.

Abdominal tuberculosis is rare in immunocompetent infants. We report on two infants with peritoneal tuberculosis (6 and 8 months) who underwent laparotomy for suspected intussusception. In the first patient, characteristic lesions of peritoneal tuberculosis were observed intraoperatively with presence of multiple granulations.

Acute intestinal intussusception of the infant and the child: A 5-year study of 66 cases.

Background: Acute intestinal intussusception (AII) is defined as the telescoping of part of the intestine into the intestinal segment beneath it. The consequence is an obstruction and strangulation which can lead to necrosis of the intestinal tract that has telescoped. The aim of our work is, on the one hand, to assess our management style throughout analysis of clinical different aspects and on the other hand to set up a strategy for early diagnosis and treatment.

Molecular detection of CTX-M-15-type β-lactamases in Escherichia coli strains from Senegal.

We aimed to detect the extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) secreted by clinical strains of Escherichia coli at Fann University Hospital in Dakar and to characterize them molecularly. We identified 32 isolates producing ESBLs. The CTX-M-15 gene was the most frequently detected ESBL gene, detected in 90.

First report of gastroenteritis by genotype G12 rotavirus in Dakar, Senegal.

The genotype G12 rotavirus was isolated from the stool of children 5 years old or younger with acute gastroenteritis during 1 year in three Dakar hospitals. The G12 genotype was the most common (58.25%).
