Stratégie d’utilisation des substances naturelles dans la prise en charge des personnes vivant avec le VIH : expérience du Burkina Faso
J. B. Nikiéma, K. Djierro, J. Simporé et al.
Au Burkina Faso, les personnes vivant avec le VIH (PvVIH) ont régulièrement recours à des substances naturelles pour traiter certaines infections opportunistes. C’est ainsi que le suc des feuilles fraîches de Mitracarpus scaber Zucc. ex Schult. & Schult. f. (Rubiaceae) et de Senna alata (L.) Roxb. (Fabaceae) sont utilisés comme antimycosiques.(...)

Antimicrobial resistance and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae strains causing childhood infection in Burkina Faso
Leonard C. Bere, Jacques Simpore, Simplice D. Karou, Boukaré Zeba, Augustin P. Bere, Elizabeth Bannerman, Jacques Bille, Mireille Dosso
In Burkina Faso, a Western African country, reports on pneumococci carriage, resistance patterns and serotypes are inconsistent. The present study was conducted in order to evaluate these parameters. Thus 860 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from children attending vaccination centers for pneumococci isolation, identification and serotype d(...)

The optimal feeding modality of infants born to HIV infected mothers in resource-limited settings is still the subject for debate. WHO guidelines recommends exclusive formula feeding wherever it is available, feasible, affordable, safe and sustainable (AFASS). In all other instances, exclusive breastfeeding and early weaning is recommended. Ho(...)

HIV serostatus disclosure to sexual partner may lead to clear public health benefits (motivation for partner testing, behavior changes, earlier access to medical care), but it may also lead to women rejection, loss of economic support, physical and emotional abuse. Studies from developing countries suggest that a larger proportion of women com(...)
