“…The prevalence of epilepsy in developed countries is estimated to 5‰ and in Africa 10‰ [1]. However 30% of all patients with epilepsy are estimated to have drug-resistant epilepsy despite a good comprehension of the physiopathological mechanisms and the enrichment of the antiepileptic therapeutic arsenal [2].…”

“…The prevalence of epilepsy in developed countries is estimated to 5‰ and Africa 10‰ [3]. Current epilepsy therapy with modern anticonvulsants is associated with side effect, chronic toxicity as well as teratogenic effects limit their use and 30% of patients continue to have seizures with current anticonvulsant therapies [4].…”

Crinum species is frequently used for the treatment of nervous disorders such as epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate the anticonvulsant activity of the hydroethanolic extract of the Crinum scillifolium bulbs in chemoconvulsant-induced seizures in mice. The anticonvulsant activity of the extract (25, 50, 100, 200 and 400mg/kg), was investigated in isoniazid (INH)-induced seizures in mice. The hydroethanolic extract protected mice from INH-induced seizures in a dose-dependent manner. 100% of protection was observed when the animals were treated with 200 and 400mg/kg of hydroethanolic extract of Crinum scillifolium. At Dose of 50 and 100mg/kg 83% protection was observed; the onset of convulsion significant was delayed, and no mortality was found of the mice against isoniazid-induced convulsion. Mice pretreated with hydroethanolic extract at the dose of 25mg/kg reduced mortality to 27% and significant delayed the onset of death (p<0.01). In conclusion, Crinum scillifolium was revealed possessing anticonvulsant effects in mice, via the GABAergic neurotransmission.

We report the results of a two-month descriptive observational survey to assess the knowledge about epilepsy among primary school teachers in Bouake in Ivory Coast. This study included 310 teachers who were randomly chosen from three Primary School Inspections (PSI). Almost all the teachers who were included had shown inaccurate information about epilepsy. 46.45% of the respondents thought that epilepsy was contagious and 47.74% recommanded to avoid contacting with salivary secretions of the patient during seizure. For 16.45% of them, persons living with epilepsy (PWE) could be not married and 19.7% believed that PWE could not have children due to the risk of transmission. This study highlights the urgent need of awareness campaigns among primary school teachers.
