L’afibrinogénémie est une dyscrasie rare caractérisée par un déficit constitutionnel en fibrinogène. Elle se transmet sur un mode autosomique récessif. Les manifestations hémorragiques sont variables et peuvent mettre en jeu le pronostic vital. Un peu plus de 250 cas ont été publiés à nos jours. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas d’afibrinogénémie congénitale chez une enfant de 3 ans et demi hospitalisée pour hématémèse de moyenne abondance. A travers ce cas, nous rappelons les différents aspects de cette affection sur les plans clinique, biologique, génétique ainsi que thérapeutique.
Together with the Africa Continental Branch of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP Africa), the Uganda Cancer Institute, a tertiary governmental institution for specialised cancer care services, research and training, hosted the 14th continental meeting of SIOP Africa from the 16-18 March 2022. Under the conference theme, 'Innovate for Africa', the hybrid conference brought together close to 400 international delegates to discuss innovations and experiences, as well as share the latest research in the field of paediatric oncology. The World Health Organisation 2030 Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer provided the main starting point for the conference with a comprehensive pre-conference workshop programme, from multiple stakeholders and organisations and the themes for the plenaries towards improving survival to the main breakout sessions. Delegates discussed various ways of improving outcomes in Africa, despite the challenges faced individually and collectively ranging from education, management systems and treatment guidelines to future governmental and NGO involvement in African cancer care. The main achievements of the conference were various commitments for collaboration, investing in junior investigators, development of registries and systems for improved childhood care on the African continent, while working towards greater access to advanced management options such as targeted therapies and bone marrow transplant services.
