“…Meningitis and encephalitis together form the leading category, causing 23.3% of deaths at these ages (Table 4 ). This large proportion should be put into perspective because the survey covers deaths that occurred between December and February, during the dry season that is conducive to the development of meningitis [ 36 ]. Severe malnutrition is the second category, causing 16.2% of deaths for both sexes combined.…”

Background There is no source of data on causes of death in Senegal that covers both community and hospital deaths. Yet the death registration system in the Dakar region is relatively complete (>80%) and could be expanded to provide information on the diseases and injuries that led to death. Methods In this pilot study, we recorded all deaths that occurred over 2 months and were reported in the 72 civil registration offices in the Dakar region. We selected the deaths of residents of the region and administered a verbal autopsy to a relative of the deceased to identify the underlying causes of death. Causes of death were assigned using the InterVA5 model. Results The age structure of deaths registered at the civil registry differed from that of the census, with a proportion of infant deaths about twice as high as in the census. The main causes of death were prematurity and obstetric asphyxia in newborns. Meningitis and encephalitis, severe malnutrition, and acute respiratory infections were the leading causes from 1 month to 15 years of age. Cardiovascular diseases accounted for 27% of deaths in adults aged 15-64 and 45% of deaths among adults above age 65, while neoplasms accounted for 20% and 12% of deaths in these two age groups, respectively. Conclusions This study demonstrates that the epidemiological transition is at an advanced stage in urban areas of Dakar, and underlines the importance of conducting regular studies based on verbal autopsies of deaths reported in civil registration offices.

“…Since vaccination, this carriage has decreased considerably, currently older children and adults are more likely to harbor the germ (asymptomatic carriers) and probably constitute the primary reservoir. Haemophilus influenzae remains one of the main bacterial agents causing infections that can be invasive and severe, particularly in children under 5 years of age [4]. The great majority of systemic Haemophilus influenzae infections are due to encapsulated type b strains as a result of the major role of the polyribosephosphate (PRP) as a virulence factor (resistance to phagocytosis and complement action).…”

Invasive Haemophilus influenzae infections can occur as a sepsis, an invasive pneumonia, an epiglottitis and an acute bacterial meningitis. H. influenzae meningitis accounts for about 4% of community-acquired bacterial meningitis in adults. We report a case of Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) meningitis in a 37-year-old patient having an osteomeningeal breach as a predisposing factor. The diagnosis was established by lumbar puncture. The course was satisfactory with antibiotic treatment. The systematic search for an osteomeningeal breach as well as other risk factors is crucial in any adult patient presenting with an episode of confirmed H. influenzae meningitis. The quick performance of bacteriological samples is primordial in order to obtain an early diagnosis and to ensure a good clinical outcome.

“…Camara B. et al [15] observed that Hib meningitis is encountered throughout the year with a peak occurring between January and March, that is, during the dry and cold season. In sub sahara Africa, the cold season is very favorable to the expansion of Ear-Nose-Larynx and respiratory infections which are the beds of bacterial meningitis.…”

Introduction: According to Mali's National Immunization Center, the Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) vaccine coverage rate was 90% in 2015. Our work aimed to study invasive bacterial infections due to Haemophilus influenzae type b in children aged 0-15 years hospitalized in the pediatrics department of the UH-GT. Method: We carried out a retrospective descriptive study from January 2017 to December 2018 (i.e. 2 years) among children aged 0-15 years and hospitalized for Haemophilus influenzae type b infection confirmed by culture (blood culture, Cerebro-spinal Fluid, and pleural and skin fluid). Results: Thirty-three cases of Hib infections were collected giving a frequency of 0.2% and the age group 3 months to 3 years was the most affected (72.73%). Children who received no vaccine accounted for 21.21%. The Cerebro-spinal Fluid culture and other samples (pleural and skin) identified the bacterium in 100% of cases, against 72.72% in the blood culture Meningitis was the most frequent pathology (78.79%) and the lethality was high (21.21%). Conclusion: Despite the introduction of the Hib vaccine in the routine immunization program in Mali, Hib infections remain with a high lethality linked to meningitis.
