In Burkina Faso, meningitis is epidemic, pneumococcus, meningococcus and Haemophilus
influenzae are the most implicated. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ABM
characterized by PCR and culture in order to highlight the low yield of the culture. This is a
prospective study on 26 health districts of surveillance between 201(...)

Background: The ordering of clinical haemostasis tests is increasing in Burkina Faso due to the newly emergence of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, appropriate local reference values (RV) are
lacking. Our study aimed to establish RV for prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and fibrinogen assays. M(...)

Although knowing one's HIV status is a necessary
step in initiating antiretroviral treatment, more than a quarter
of Burkinabe who are HIV-positive do not know their status.
To reach the target of screening at least 95% of people living
with HIV (PLHIV), the country has opted for HIV index
testing (screening of sexual partners, children a(...)

Antibodies play a crucial role in activating protective immunity against malaria by interacting with Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs). Genetic variations in genes encoding FcγRs can affect immune cell responses to the parasite. In this study, our aim was to investigate whether non-coding variants that regulate FcγR expression could influence the pre(...)
