We report a case of tuberculous meningitis without pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a 27-year-old patient admitted for a meningeal syndrome with signs of basilar involvement and an infectious syndrome associated with a hacking cough with whitish sputum and night sweats, evolving for 15 days before her admission, in a context of weight loss of 2 kg, asthenia, and anorexia. Cytobacteriological and chemical analysis of the CSF revealed less than 3 cells/mm white blood cells, high protein levels of 2.54 g/l, and low glucose levels of 0.

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the trends of invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) in adult and elderly population in Casablanca (Morocco) before and after introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) by determining the distribution of pneumococcal serotypes and antibiotic resistance profile of isolated strains.

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 remains a leading cause of invasive pneumococcal diseases, even in countries with PCV-10/PCV-13 vaccine implementation. The main objective of this study, which is part of the Pneumococcal African Genome project (PAGe), was to determine the phylogenetic relationships of serotype 1 isolates recovered from children patients in Casablanca (Morocco), compared to these from other African countries; and to investigate the contribution of accessory genes and recombination events to the genetic diversity of this serotype.
Results: The genome average size of the six-pneumococcus serotype 1 from Casablanca was 2,227,119 bp, and the average content of coding sequences was 2113, ranging from 2041 to 2161.

Objectives: In Morocco, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PCV) was introduced in the childhood immunization program in October 2010 and changed to PCV-10 in July 2012. The purpose of this study was firstly to determine the prevalence of pneumococcus carriage in a population of febrile infants in Marrakesh and secondly, to investigate the risk factors for carriage and the distribution of circulating serotypes.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was conducted from February to June 2017, in the pediatric emergency department of the Mother and Child Hospital of Mohammed VI University Hospital Centre (UHC) in Marrakesh.

Examples of successful implementations of national cancer control plans in low-income or middle-income countries remain rare. Morocco, a country where cancer is already the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases, is one exception in this regard. Population ageing and lifestyle changes are the major drivers that are further increasing the cancer burden in the country.
