Loa loa filariasis is usually found in the forest areas of Central and West Africa. We report a case that was diagnosed in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), a savanna area. The patient lived in Gabon but was visiting his family in Ouagadougou. He complained of fatigue, fever, itchy legs with scratch marks, and intermittent edema of the legs. A blood smear was first examined for malaria parasites, but Loa loa microfilariae were observed. Laboratory tests showed hypereosinophilia (30%). Transient angioedema (Calabar edema) was observed. Loa loa filariasis was diagnosed based on these findings. There were no other laboratory test abnormalities, and ophthalmological examination was normal. The patient received a single dose of ivermectin at 200 µg/kg. After 1 month, the patient's course was favorable and a control blood smear was negative.

Introduction: Acne, is a common disease. Its prevalence is 80% among adolescents in the world and 57,1% in Ouagadougou in 2001 among school pupils.

Only 15.02% have resorted to a dermatologist. Conclusion: Pupils and students have bad knowledge on acne and bad perception on those who have the disease.

Objective: To study the sexual risk behaviors and their determining role in sexually transmissible infection (STI) and HIV among students of the University of Ouagadougou. Methodology: It was a descriptive and analytical single pass cross-sectional study from June 22 to July 21 2010 at the University of Ouagadougou. A cluster sampling in two stages was adopted to form a population of 762. Data were collected using a standardized written questionnaire completed by individual interview after informed consent. Results: The average age of students was 24.2 ± 2 years old for men and 23.7 ± 2 years old women. Singles represented 95.1% of students. The students were not scholarship grantees in 90.6% of the sample. Knowledge about STIs was average in 60.2% of cases. In total 33.65% of the students admitted to having had multiple sexual partners, 19.57% had sex with prostitutes, 34.62% had unprotected sex, 4% practiced sodomy without condoms and 3.1% of students had sex in group with one partner. In multivariate analysis, male gender was the determining factor associated with multiple sexual partner (OR = 3.30 95% CI = 2.19 to 4.95) and relations with prostitutes with an odds ratio of 16.13 (95 = 6.87% to 37.8%). The female gender was the determining factor associated with not using a condom with odds ratio of 1.5 (95% CI = 1.01 to 2.16).

Introduction: La malnutrition aigüe sévère est un problème de santé publique au Mali en particulier chez les enfants de moins de 5 ans. C'est dans ce contexte que la présente étude de la fréquence de la malnutrition chez les enfants hospitalisés dans le département de pédiatrie du CHU Gabriel Touré et leur dévenir a été réalisée ; Matériel et méthodes: Une étude prospective a été réalisée auprès de 6573 enfants de 0 à 15 ans hospitalisés dans le département de pédiatrie du CHU Gabriel Touré t entre Mai 2011 et Avril 2012. Le test de Chi² de Pearson a été utilisé pour la comparaison des moyennes avec un niveau de confiance de 95 % et un risque d'erreur de 5%. Résultats : La malnutrition a représenté 54.1% des hospitalisations dont 54,8% de garçons. L'âge moyen à l'admission était de 24,5 mois (extrêmes 5 mois -15 ans). Le motif de consultation était l'altération de l'état général dans 30,3% des cas. La prévalence du retard de croissance était de 40,9% dont 20% la forme sévère, par contre celui de l'insuffisance pondérale était de 37,8% dont 24% de forme sévère. Quant à l'émaciation, il était de 21,3% étaient émaciés avec 93,9% de forme sévère (marasme 75,8 %, kwashiorkor 16,1 % et forme mixte 2%). L'émaciation était plus fréquente avant 2ans soit 16% a lorsque l'insuffisance pondérale et retard de croissance étaient plus fréquentes après 2 ans soit respectivement 27% et 28% des cas. Les pathologies associées les plus fréquentes étaient la déshydratation 25%, .l'anémie 19%, la Pneumopathie 18% et le paludisme 17%.L'évolution a été favorable dans 89,3% des cas de malnutrition aigüe et la mortalité a été de 3,1% ce qui est en dessous du seuil d'alerte de 10%. Conclusion : Le taux de malnutrition reste encore élève dans le service d'où l'intérêt de mettre l'accent sur les activités de prévention.

Angioma plane of the face: About two cases of which one revealing sturge weber and krabbe syndrome. Our Dermatol Online. 2017;8(1):70-74. Submission ABSTRACTSturge Weber and Krabbe syndrome or Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare and sporadic disease. It associates with a variety of degrees a flat facial skin angioma in the V1 territory of the trigeminal, a pial angioma and a choroidal angioma all in the one side. The neurological involvement of epileptic seizures in fact all the gravity. The authors report two cases of angiomas plane of the face. The first case presents a complete association of the 3 signs in a 5 year old child. The second case presents an association of angioma and choroidal involvement without cerebral damage to imaging in a 25-year-old adult. They thus highlight the interest of imaging examinations in particular MRI in the diagnosis through the classification and follow-up of this pathology.

BackgroundDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare tumor, representing about 0.1% of skin malignant tumors. It is characterized by local aggressiveness with significant potential for recurrence. Although metastasis is rare, it does occur. We report a case of a Burkinabe woman with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.Case presentationA 27-year-old Burkinabe woman consulted our institution for a recurrent scalp nodule that had been evolving for 13 years. At clinical examination, she was in good condition with a dry cough. An atrophic scarring alopecic plaque of 15-cm diameter in the right parietal region of the scalp, topped by an erythematous firm nodule measuring 3 × 2 × 2 cm, was noted, as well as a mobile nodule located in the axillary tail of the right breast. Cerebral computed tomodensitometry had not objectified the reach of the vault or the brain. A thoracic scan revealed four intrathoracic tissue masses straight to pleural touch. There were no evolutionary lesions in the abdominopelvic region. Histopathologic examination of the biopsy of the scalp nodule showed a proliferation of fibrous background, with fusiform cells carrying a storiform appearance. These cells had dark, elongated nuclei and showed some mitosis without atypia. The cells expressed CD34 intensely and diffusely. The test results were negative for PS100 and smooth muscle actin. The breast nodule showed the same profile as the scalp nodule.ConclusionsWe concluded on the diagnosis of scalp dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with breast metastasis and probable pleuropulmonary metastasis.
