“…Twenty-one studies presented data on the lifetime prevalence of all types of occupational exposure to blood and body fluids, including percutaneous injury and mucous membrane exposure, among health-care workers in Africa ( Table 1 ; available at: http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/95/12/17-195735 ). Lifetime prevalence varied widely from 29.1% (95% confidence interval, CI: 23.1–35.1) in Burkina Faso 50 to 89.2% (95% CI: 87.3–91.1) in Morocco ( Fig. 2 ).…”

ObjectiveTo estimate the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of occupational exposure to body fluids among health-care workers in Africa.MethodsEmbase®, PubMed® and CINAHL databases were systematically searched for studies published between January 2000 and August 2017 that reported the prevalence of occupational exposure to blood or other body fluids among health-care workers in Africa. The continent-wide prevalence of exposure was estimated using random-effects meta-analysis.FindingsOf the 904 articles identified, 65 studies from 21 African countries were included. The estimated pooled lifetime and 12-month prevalence of occupational exposure to body fluids were 65.7% (95% confidence interval, CI: 59.7–71.6) and 48.0% (95% CI: 40.7–55.3), respectively. Exposure was largely due to percutaneous injury, which had an estimated 12-month prevalence of 36.0% (95% CI: 31.2–40.8). The pooled 12-month prevalence of occupational exposure among medical doctors (excluding surgeons), nurses (including midwives and nursing assistants) and laboratory staff (including laboratory technicians) was 46.6% (95% CI: 33.5–59.7), 44.6% (95% CI: 34.1–55.0) and 34.3% (95% CI: 21.8–46.7), respectively. The risk of exposure was higher among health-care workers with no training on infection prevention and those who worked more than 40 hours per week.ConclusionThe evidence available suggests that almost one half of health-care workers in Africa were occupationally exposed to body fluids annually. However, a lack of data from some countries was a major limitation. National governments and health-care institutions across Africa should prioritize efforts to minimize occupational exposure among health-care workers.

“…Our results are similar to those of Rouveix, et al in Cleaning with soap (46.7%) and disinfection with bleach (19.3%) were the main measures taken by our patients after an AEB. Zougrana, et al in Burkina Faso in 2014 noted a similar frequency (30/64; 46.8%) of people victims of AEB who cleaned the site of exposure with water and soap [13]. Contrarily to Moroccan series where the frequency of this gesture was 68% [14].…”

“…The post-exposure prophylaxis prescribed for our patients was triple antiretroviral therapy. It is the most recommended and currently prescribed protocol, as shown by several studies [2,10,13]. Other therapies, in particular monotherapy with zidovudine and dual therapies combining zidovudine, remain alternatives [3].…”

Background: There is little data on Accidental Exposure to Blood (AEB) in Cameroon.Objectives: to learn about the management of AEB among professional and non-professional patient at the day care unit of the Central Hospital of Yaoundé.Method: This was a 10-year retrospective study in which data concerning socio-demographic characteristics, exposure and consultation circumstances, measures taken after the accident, the status of the source patient and of the patient consultant and the prescribed ARV protocol were analyzed.Results: Six hundred files were selected, including 49.2% professional exposure and 50.2% non-professional. The mean age was 30 ± 9.7 years with extremes of 11 and 67 years. The main circumstances of AEB were needle stick (professional AEB) and rape (non-professional AEB). Prophylaxis with triple antiretroviral therapy has been prescribed to all patients. Conclusion:Non-professional and professional AEB are found in equivalent proportions in our series. Triple antiretroviral therapy was prescribed for all patients. Staff awareness policies could be developed to respect universal precautionary measures.
