“…En partant de l'expérience des habitants de Conakry (capitale de la Guinée), on constate que le montant du revenu des ménages étant difficile à obtenir en raison du contexte (réticence culturelle, analphabétisme, revenu erratique des populations non salariées), nous avons développé un indicateur de richesse à partir de ce que possède le ménage (électroménager, voiture). Ceci a permis d'indexer tout ménage interrogé selon une des trois catégories suivantes : le revenu faible correspondant à un ménage dont les équipements ont une valeur estimée inférieure à 1,3 million de francs guinéens ; le revenu élevé correspond au ménage dont les équipements ont une valeur supérieure à 2,6 millions de francs guinéens ; le revenu moyen étant compris entre les deux 739 .…”

BackgroundCholera is endemic in Guinea, having suffered consecutive outbreaks from 2004 to 2008 followed by a lull until the 2012 epidemic. Here we describe the temporal-spatial and behavioural characteristics of cholera cases in Conakry during a three-year period, including the large-scale 2012 epidemic.MethodsWe used the national and African Cholera Surveillance Network (Africhol) surveillance data collected from every cholera treatment centre in Conakry city from August 2011 to December 2013. The prevalence of suspect and confirmed cholera cases, the case fatality ratio (CFR), and the factors associated with suspected cholera were described according to three periods: pre-epidemic (A), epidemic 2012 (B) and post epidemic (C). Weekly attack rates and temporal-spatial clustering were calculated at municipality level for period B. Cholera was confirmed by culture at the cholera national reference laboratory.ResultsA total of 4559 suspect cases were reported: 66, 4437, and 66 suspect cases in periods A, B and C, respectively. Among the 204 suspect cases with culture results available, 6%, 60%, and 70% were confirmed in periods A, B, and C, respectively. With 0.3%, the CFR was significantly lower in period B than in periods A (7.6%) and C (7.1%). The overall attack rate was 0.28% in period B, ranging from 0.17% to 0.31% across municipalities. Concomitantly, a cluster of cases was identified in two districts in the northern part of Conakry. At 14%, rice water stools were less frequent in period A than in period B and C (78% and 84%). Dehydration (31% vs 94% and 89%) and coma (0.4% vs 3.1% and 2.9%) were lower during period B than in periods A and C. The treatment of drinking water was less frequent in period A, while there were more reports of recent travel in period C.ConclusionsThe epidemic dynamic and the sociological description of suspect cases before, during, and after the large-scale epidemic revealed that the Vibrio cholerae was already present before the epidemic. However, it appeared that infected individuals reacted differently in terms of disease severity as well as their access to treated water and travel habits. Such an in-depth description of cholera epidemics should be systematically carried out in cholera endemic settings in order to prioritize higher risk areas, identify transmission factors, and optimize preventive interventions.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40249-018-0393-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
