INTRODUCTION : Les infections nosocomiales représentent un véritable problème de santé publique. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les principaux facteurs de risque associés aux infections des plaies opératoires à l’hôpital zone de Ouidah de 2006 à 2007. MATERIEL et METHODES : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective, descriptive et analytique. Une régression logistique a été effectuée pour étudier les facteurs de risque de l’infection de la plaie opératoire. RESULTATS: Au total 521 dossiers ont été dépouillés entre 2006 à 2007. L’âge médian des opérés était de 26 ans avec un minimum de 1 an et un maximum de 90 ans. 54,7 % des opérés étaient hospitalisés dans le service de Gynéco-obstétrique. Le sexe ratio était de 2 Femmes pour un Homme. La prévalence de l’infection a été 22,8%. Le risque de survenue de l’infection de la plaie opératoire est plus élevé chez les opérés ˃60 ans (OR = 3,61 ; IC à 95% = [1,66 – 7,84]). Ce risque est plus élevé (OR = 10,78 ; IC à 95% = [5,33 – 21,79]) chez les opérés ayant séjourné plus d’une semaine en analyse multivariée. L’analyse qualitative montrait des facteurs dépendant à la fois des malades, du personnel et de l’organisation des services. CONCLUSION: La prévalence de l’infection de la plaie opératoire a été de 22, 8%. Les principaux facteurs de risques associés ont été : la durée de l’intervention chirurgicale, la durée d’hospitalisation, le rythme du pansement et la classe d’antibiotique utilisée en per opératoire. MOTS CLES: Prévalence, Infection de la plaie opératoire, facteurs associés.

Introduction: Bart's syndrome is a rare neonatal pathology combining congenital skin aplasia affecting the extremities and congenital epidermolysis bullosa, exceptionally described on black skin. Observation: A 2-day-old male newborn was referred for multiple ulcerations of the limbs observed at birth. The clinical examination found an absence of bilateral and symmetrical skin occupying almost all of the two lower limbs with some flaccid bubbles. The vascular network was clearly visible. The rest of the skin coating was normal. The diagnosis of Bart syndrome in connection with epidermolysis bullosa was evoked clinically and despite pediatric and dermatological management, the evolution was rapidly fatal by severe sepsis. Discussion: Bart syndrome corresponds to a clinical picture of congenital skin aplasia associated with congenital epidermolysis bullosa suspected by areas of fragility and sometimes bubbles. All types of congenital epidermolysis bullosa may be associated with this syndrome. The clinical diagnosis is generally easy but the therapeutic management is difficult and the prognosis reserved. Conclusion: Bart syndrome is a curious congenital association of well-defined skin symptoms, the etiopathogeny of which still remains poorly elucidated, hence the difficulty of establishing an antenatal diagnostic strategy or giving appropriate genetic advice.

Introduction: Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease, highly contagious due to influenza viruses. The objective of this work was to identify, understand the epidemiology of circulating strains and estimate disease transmission. Patients and Methods: The study was carried out in the pediatric department of the Sikasso Hospital. This was a prospective, longitudinal descriptive study over a five-year period (January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019). She was interested in severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) for hospitalized patients in the pediatric department. Results: During the study period the prevalence of severe acute respiratory infections among hospitalized children was 21.85‰. The majority of cases were observed in 2019 with 58 cases, the sex ratio was 1.8. The age group from 0 to 1 was the most represented with 100 cases (48.30%) followed by 2 to 4 years 73 cases (35.24%) and 5 to 15 years 34 cases (16.46%). More than half of the patients lived in rural areas 129 (62.31%). Fever and cough were present in the majority of patients. No children had received influenza vaccination. In study 36 (17.39%) cases were positive for influenza A and B.
