“…These factors may explain the extremely high case fatality rates in pediatric patients hospitalized with diarrhea and respiratory diseases. In fact, according to a study conducted in 2012, 2150 people, including 1700 children less than five years of age, die each year from diarrhea in Mauritania, and 90% of these deaths are directly attributable to the poor quality of water, sanitation, and hygiene [ 14 ]. In addition, many patients present to the health system after a relatively high time lapse since the start of symptoms, as a result of difficult access to the health system, and also a low awareness of the urgency of these conditions, in the child population.…”

“…Primary healthcare facilities are insufficient. Recent studies conducted in Nouakchott reported that less than 44% of children were taken to a healthcare facility, and only 26% of households had access to safe drinking water sources, while 70% of the population had access to improved latrines [ 9 , 14 ]. The situation in rural areas is even worse.…”

Hospitalizations and Deaths Associated with Diarrhea and Respiratory Diseases among Children Aged 0–5 Years in a Referral Hospital of Mauritania

Diarrhea and respiratory diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among <5-year-olds worldwide, but systematic data are not available from Mauritania. We conducted a hospital-based retrospective study. Data on admissions to Mauritania’s National Referral Hospital (the main pediatric referral center in the country), due to diarrhea and respiratory diseases, during 2011–2014, were analyzed. A total of 3695 children <5 years were hospitalized during this period; 665 (18.0%) due to respiratory diseases, and 829 (22.4%) due to diarrhea. Case fatality rates in the respiratory diseases and diarrhea groups were 18.0% (120/665) and 14.1% (117/829), respectively. The highest frequency of deaths due to diarrhea occurred in the age group 2–5 years (16/76; 21.0%), and due to respiratory diseases in the age group 6–12 months (32/141; 22.6%). We conclude that case fatality rates caused by respiratory diseases and diarrhea are extremely high in children hospitalized at the National Referral Hospital. These data call for intensified efforts to reduce deaths among hospitalized Mauritanian children, and also for integrated control measures to prevent and reduce the burden of both diseases. Additional studies are needed to show the effectiveness of the introduction of vaccination programs for pneumococcal diseases and rotavirus infection in the child population, which were launched in November 2013 and December 2014, respectively.

“…This is due to the fact that in our developing countries water-related diseases represent a real public health problem [13] [14]. The lack of drinking water and sanitation [15], as well as the low level of education of our populations, are the main causes. In addition, antibiotic resistance is becoming more and more frequent [16] [17].…”

Background: Infectious Diseases are responsible for nearly 17 million annual deaths worldwide. Burkina Faso, like the majority of poor countries, remains vulnerable to infectious diseases. The objective of the present study was to analyze the profile of inpatients, including the mortality and causes of death, in the Infectious Diseases Department of Sourô Sanou teaching hospital (Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso). Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study based on medical records of all inpatients from 2011 to 2015. Results: We included 1169 patients. The gender ratio was 0.8. The age group 30 to 39 was more represented (30.2%) as well as housewives and farmers (73.7%). Over one-thirds of the patients (35.3%) were consulted within an average of 7 days. The most common reason for consultation was fever (65.1%). Around 62.0% of inpatients were infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Digestive diseases ranked first (21.8%) followed by nervous system disorders (19.4%) and tuberculosis (17.8%). Overall morbidity rate was 31.3%. About 42% were admitted to the emergency ward while 83.3% already arrived with poor health condition. And 82.1% of deaths occurred on pathological grounds of which 66.7% were related to HIV. Main causes of death included How to cite this paper:

“…L'influence des mal-adaptabilités biologiques en lien avec la qualité de l'eau semble se poser de façon récurrente dans les pays en développement. Dans ces pays, les populations sont confrontées au déficit des équipements d'accès à l'eau potable et au manque d'infrastructures sanitaires de gestions des déchets de qualité (Sy et al, 2017). La Côte d'Ivoire, un pays de l'Afrique de l'ouest est confrontée à cette réalité socio-environnementale (Angoua et al,2018).…”

Les mal-adaptabilités biologiques de l’enfant semblent être le produit des stimulations offertes par le milieu de vie. L’influence de celles-ci sur le fonctionnement biophysiologique de l’enfant n’est pas suffisamment examinée. La présente étude se propose de comparer les mal-adaptabilités biologiques des enfants consommant une eau de qualité pathogène à celles de leurs pairs ayant accès à une eau de qualité non pathogène. Cet examen a porté sur 152 enfants ivoiriens âgés de 6 à 59 mois. Chez ces derniers, des prélèvements d’eau selon la source disponible dans le ménage ont été analysés. Ces analyses ont permis de déterminer le niveau de contamination microbiologique en recourant à la méthode de la filtration sur membrane. L’examen des mal-adaptabilités biologiques des deux groupes d’enfants s’est fait en considérant les fréquences de pathologies physiques récurrentes en une année. Les résultats montrent que les sujets qui consomment une eau de qualité pathogène présentent une fréquence de mal-adaptabilités biologiques supérieure à celle de leurs pairs consommant une eau de meilleure qualité microbiologique. Par exemple, les pathologies hydriques, tels que les infections entériques sont significativement différentes entre les deux groupes de nourrissons et d’enfants. On note respectivement une fréquence de 8,9% ; 7,2% contre 0% ; 0%. Ces résultats confirment l’hypothèse selon laquelle la qualité microbiologique de l’eau consommée dans un milieu de vie constitue un facteur qui exerce une action différentielle sur l’apparition des mal-adaptabilités biologiques.
