“…Population mean age was similar to Noah's findings[26]. In fact, patients with SBP were younger (not significantly) than those without SBP in many studies[24] [27][28]. However, an increase would have been expected in SBP prevalence with age.Patients with SBP were more likely to present particular clinical and paraclinical features including pulse rate > 100, respiratory rate > 30, presence of jaundice, plasma albumin less than 20 g/L, female sex, fever/hypothermia and Child class C. Most of those items (plasma albumin, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, Child C class) correlate with the severity of liver disease, which is known to be associated to SBP occurrence[30] [31][32].…”

“…The female predominance can be related to greater use of health facilities by women in Cameroon or a selection bias. Risk for SBP was increased among females as Dia et al finding due to increased women's health frequentation[24]. Population mean age was similar to Noah's findings[26].…”

“…Fever/hypothermia has been reported associated with SBP but no study has looked for association with tachycardia and tachypnea[28] [33]. As expected, leucocytes count and polynuclear count in ascites fluid were higher in SBP patients[24] [26][27] [28].…”

“…Dia et al, in 55 patients in Senegal, found an SBP prevalence of 27%. SBP was associated with female gender, leukocytosis and cloudy appearance of ascetic fluid [24]. Bathaix et al, in a series of 221 patients, in Ivory Coast, identified SBP as prognosis factor in univariate [17].…”

Introduction: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is among the most common infections in cirrhotic patients. Data on SBP are rare in Cameroon. This prompted us to carry out this study on patients with decompensated cirrhosis of the liver in Yaounde University Hospital Centre (YUHC). Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study from December 2015 to June 2016 in three units of YUHC. All patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were included. Our sampling was consecutive. Diagnosis of cirrhosis was performed, based on clinical, biological and ultrasound criteria. A neutrophil count greater than 250 cell/mm 3 in ascites fluid defined an SBP. Data on socio-demography, clinical presentation, and outcomes were collected. Results: We included 34 decompensated cirrhotic patients (15 males). Patients mean age was 57.5 ± 2 years (SBP positive: 48.7 ± 21.3 versus without SBP: 59.8 ± 19.5, p = 0.22). SBP diagnosis was made in 6 (17.7%) patients. Compared to patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and without SBP, positive SBP patients had a higher pulse rate (p = 0.002) and respiratory rate (p = 0.02).

Anal pathologies are conditions affecting the anal margin and the anal canal. The aim of our study was to update data on anal diseases. Non-specific, it can reveal an emergency, a serious illness, a chronic disease or a benign condition. It was a prospective, descriptive and analytical study from April 2022 to March 2023, carried out in the hepato-gastroenterology unit of the Centre de Santé de Référence de la commune V du District de Bamako in Mali. Out of seven hundred and forty-nine (749) patients seen in consultation, 98 had anal pathology, i.e. a prevalence of 13.08%. The mean age was 40 ± 15.15 years and the sex ratio was 1.5. Hemorrhoidal disease and anal fissure were the most frequent pathologies in 66.4% and 24.4% of cases respectively. Medical treatment was initiated in 91.9% of patients with hemorrhoidal disease and 91.7% with anal fissure. Anal pathologies are common in young male patients. In our context, they are dominated by benign conditions.
