The proportion of poorly controlled hypertensives still remains high in the general African population. This is largely due to therapeutic inertia (TI), defined as the failure to intensify or modify treatment in a patient with poorly controlled blood pressure (BP). The objective of this study was to identify the determinants of TI. We conducte(...)

Investigation Around Cases of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever-Mauritania, 2022
Boushab Mohamed Boushab,Pauline K. Yanogo,Djibril Barry, Hacen Ahmed Benane, Ahmed El Bara,Moussa Abdellah,Leonardo K. Basco and Nicolas Meda
Background
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic arbovirosis. Humans are infected by tick bites or contact with blood of infected animals. CCHF can be responsible for severe outbreaks due to human-to-human transmission. Our aims were to increase awareness and promote the search for risk factors and disease monitoring to prevent(...)

Red blood cell alloimmunisation in multi-transfused patients from an haemodialysis service in Burkina Faso
Koumpingnin Nebie, Salam Sawadogo, Salifo Sawadogo, Jerome Koulidiati, Habi Y.A Lengani, Abdoul G. Sawadogo, Jerôme Babinet, Mohammed Khalloufi, Saliou Diop, Eleonore Kafando.
Background: In Burkina Faso, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion remains the crucial anaemia treatment following chronic renal failure (CRF) as erythropoietin and its analogues are unavailable. However, blood group matching beyond the ABO and Rhesus is not common in Burkina Faso. Thus, alloimmunisation is a potential issue for transfused patients(...)

HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) children show impaired health outcomes during childhood. A high rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) instability was reported in the blood of HEU at birth. We aimed to explore the relationship between these health outcomes and mtDNA deletions over time in a case series of 24 HEU children. MtDNA instability was assesse(...)
