“…High density crowding, poor sanitary practices, family income, educational level, age, occupation, religion, and poor water supply have been documented as important predictors of H. pylori infection [4]- [6]. There is an uncertainty surrounding the actual route of transmission of H. pylori infection.…”

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection affects more than half people worldwide particularly in African countries such as Cameroon. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of H. pylori infection and predictors risk factors among patients undergoing gastro-duodenal fibroscopy at the Centre Medical, la Cathédrale of Yaoundé. Methods: A facility-based descriptive cross-sectional study involving 147 patients was conducted from October 2015 to April 2016. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on socio-demographic factors and predictors of H. pylori infection. Gastric biopsies specimens were collected from the antrum and corpus using an Olympus GIF – Q30 fully immersible gastroscope respectively. The biopsies were screened for the presence of H. pylori by targeting the glmM gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v. 20 with p-value<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age was 47.19 ±16.64 years and female were more represented with 88/147 (59.8%) versus (vs.) 59/147(40.1%) for male. The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection was 50/147 (34.01%; 95% CI: 26.41% - 42.28%). The prevalence of H. pylori infection was 22/59 (37.29%) in male vs. 28/88 (31.82%) in female and this prevalence increased with age and peaked among 30-50 years. Bivariate logistic regression analysis identified that, the regional group, particularly the Centre region (OR 2.55, p= 0.007) and West region (OR 2.67, p=0.005), the level of education (OR 1.18, p=0.001), source of income (OR 0.95, p=0.004), and alcohol consumption (OR 1.41, p=0.0001) were predictors risk factors of H. pylori infection. Conclusions: Our findings indicate a relatively high prevalence of H. pylori infection in Yaoundé. Factors such as regional group, level of education, source of income, and alcohol consumption predisposed the subjects to H. pylori infection.

Introduction: In order to identify the modes of investigation and the results of the assessment of rectal bleeding in the Cameroonian adult, we retrospectively analysed the records of 287 patients aged above 20 years diagnosed with rectal bleeding with the aim to know the prescription patterns according to age, the diagnostic performance of tests and the results. Methodology: Between the 1 st of January 2009 and the 30 th of June 2010, we examined patients at the University Teaching Hospital and the "La Cathédrale" Medical Centre in Yaounde. Age, sex, endoscopic tests and results were evaluated. Results: 287 protocols met our selection criteria, sex ratio (M/F) 2.4/1, median age 46 years interquartile range [36, 55]. Normal tests were 57 (19.2%). Main lesions: haemorrhoids (42.4% CI95 36.7 -48.3), colorectal cancer (10.8% CI95 7.5 -14.9), anal fissure (8.8% CI95 5.8 -12.6) and colorectal polyps (8.4% CI95 5.5 -12.2). The prevalence of significant lesions (polyps and cancer) recorded 7% for those under age 40. 20.5% in those were between 40 -50 years, and 28.9% for those over 50 years. For anoscopies, 44.4% were under 40 years, 39.3% of cases of sigmoidoscopy affected those between 40 -50 years and colonoscopy affected 54% of those over 50 years. For the diagnostic yield, 26.2% had a significant lesion for flexible sigmoidoscopy and only 16.7% and 1.6% for colonoscopy and anoscopy respectively. Conclusion: The study shows that anoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are the main initial tests conducted in Cameroon in the assessment of rectal bleeding in adults of less than 50 years and they are quite sufficient. Haemorrhoids and colorectal cancer are the main pathologies.
