“…Additionally, individuals with concurrent health conditions, such as asthma or chronic lung disease, experience heightened risks. The interplay of age-related immune system factors in children and compromised respiratory function in those with coexisting conditions underscores the importance of tailored preventive measures to safeguard these subpopulations within the broader sickle cell community [9].…”

This comprehensive review explores the complex dynamics of nosocomial infections in individuals with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and advocates for a collaborative strategy to enhance prevention. SCA patients, marked by compromised immunity and susceptibility to infections, face unique challenges that necessitate tailored preventive measures. The review underscores the importance of vaccination, antibiotic prophylaxis, education, and environmental hygiene in mitigating the risk of nosocomial infections. Addressing socioeconomic factors, healthcare system limitations, patient-related issues, and cultural considerations is imperative for effective prevention. The call to action emphasizes the pivotal roles of healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, and community engagement in implementing targeted interventions. By fostering a collective effort, this review envisions an improved landscape for infection prevention in SCA patients, enhancing their overall health outcomes and quality of life.

“…En effet, dans une étude réalisée dix ans auparavant dans le même service, la malnutrition aiguë sévère et le retard de croissance grave étaient plus fréquents [9]. La déshydrata-tion, un autre facteur de co-morbidité, a été observée chez plus d'1/3 des malades de notre étude, alors qu'elle était moins fréquente au Congo [17]. La tranche d'âge de 30 à 59 mois était la plus atteinte, alors qu'au Congo la majorité des malades avait moins de 12 mois [17].…”

In-hospital mortality is an indicator of the quality of care. We analyzed the mortality of under five years children of Pediatric ward of Aristide Le Dantec teaching hospital to update our data, after an previous study conducted ten years earlier. Methods: This was a retrospective study involving children 0-59 months of age, hospitalized from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. For each child, nutritional status was assessed according to 2006 World Health Organization growth standards; clinical and biological data were recorded. The outcome of the disease was specified. Bivariate and multivariable were used to identify risk factors for death. Results: 393 children were included. Overall mortality rate was 10% (39/393). Factors associated with death were severe wasting [OR = 8.27, 95% CI [3.79-18], male gender (OR = 2.98, 95% CI [1.25-7.1]), dehydration (OR = 5.4, 95% CI [2.54-13.43]) in the model using the weight-for-height z score, male gender (OR = 2.5, 95% CI [1.11-5.63]), dehydration (OR = 8.43, 95% CI [3.83-18.5]) in using the height-forage z score, male gender (OR = 2.7, 95% CI [1.19-6.24]), dehydration (OR = 7.5, 95% CI [3.39-16.76]), severe underweight (OR = 2.4, 95% CI [1.11-5.63]), in the model using the weight-forage z score, and male gender (OR = 2.5, 95% CI [1.11-5.63]), dehydration (OR = 8.43, 95% CI [3.83-18.5]) in that using MUAC. Dehydration and malnutrition are two independent factors of mortality. Our management protocols of dehydration and malnutrition have to be updated. Screening malnutrition has to be done systematically for each child by anthropometric measurements using WHO growth standards.
