During the 5 years, we registered 7,898 patients over 18-years-old, 1,192 of these were affected by facial dermatosis that is 15.09%. The mean age was 37.7 ranging from 18 to 89-years-old. There were at least two facial dermatosis in 2.51% cases. The pigmentary disorders occurred mostly in 24.7% followed by acne group and seborrheic dermatitis (19.5%). The first three facial dermatosis of women were exogenous ochronosis, seborrheic dermatitis and lichen planus respectively 16.7%, 10.7% and 10%. Conclusion: Pigmentary disorders due to depigmentation practices are predominant. Ochronosis exogenous, seborrheic dermatitis and acne are the most frequent.
Objectives: To document patients who died in Dermatology Department at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) of Treichville; describe epidemiological aspects; indicate the various dermatological diseases associated; specify the immediate causes; identify the determinants. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical referred. Included were all hospitalized patients died in the Dermatology and Venereology service of Treichville University Hospital from January 2000 through December 2014. Results: One thousand seven-hundred and thirty-five patients were hospitalized. The hospital mortality was 10.26% (178 deaths). The average age of the death was 43.16 years; the sex ratio was 0.83. Patients who had no source of income were the most numerous (61.53%). The average hospital stay was 20.05 days. Patients had at the entrance an altered condition in 49.43% of cases and 46.62% in middle condition. Those who regularly bought their drugs were 58.21%. Those who died in the second half of the month were the most numerous (55.61%). Dermatosis groups associated deaths were: infectious dermatosis 41.57%, 29.77% tumor dermatitis and drug eruptions 16.85%. Of the 178 deaths, the 1 st 3 are pathologies associated fasciitis (50 cases), Kaposi's sarcoma (46 cases) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (17 cases). Respiratory distress (41.31%) and septic shock (36.52%) were the main immediate causes of death. Anemia (41.40%), tuberculosis (10.82%) and diabetes (10.19%) were the major comorbidities. Serology was positive in 92.5% of dead patients who have realized their HIV status (n=80). Significantly associated determinants were essentially the regular bought of drugs (p=0.013), the altered condition (p=0.033), death hours (p=0.023) and comorbidities (p=00000). Conclusion: Mortality is a reality in the Dermatology and Venereology at UTH of Treichville. These determinants are numerous and some need to be better studied to identify true risk factors in order to make appropriate recommendations.
Background: Several studies have showed that the prognosis and the incidence of Kaposi disease had been improved in many countries where HAART was accessible and provided. In Côte d'Ivoire, an improvement of ART accessibility has occurred since 2006, but, few studies have been conducted for measuring potential changes in the epidemiology and the prognosis of the Kaposi disease. The dermatology department of the Teaching Hospital of Treichville, as a reference center for this disease could reflect the changes of interest. This study was first aiming at describing the clinical, therapeutic and progressive aspects of Kaposi disease in HIV-positive patients admitted to the service, then measuring the impact of the improved HAART accessibility. Material and methods: It was a retrospective, describtive and cross-sectionnal study, based on HIV-positive patients medical records from those hospitalized for Kaposi Disease from 1995 to 2010, in the dermatology department of the teaching hospital of Treichville.
63.6% did not have explanations on their representations; 28.18% had some on the persecutive models; 8.18% on the punitive models and any on the model destiny. The origin of the representations was the family (67.2%), the patient himself (66.3%), and the friends (20%). 78% adhered to it, 19.2% doubted and 2.8% did not believe in it. The papules were more represented but the difference was significant for the bubbles, the maculae and ulcerations (p = 0.05). Lastly, one noted, among them, more patients presenting of the large legs (29.1%), the squameuses dermatoses (20.9%) and maculo-papulous rash (20%). CONCLUSION: To question the patients on their sociocultural representations face their dermatoses in Black Africa can help the support because it is a spirit which lives much of them.
