“…Among the 84 patients, 79 (94%) received breastfeeding for a median duration of 10 months (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Food diversification began at an unknown age in 42.9% and before four months in 26.2% (Table 5).…”

“…Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis evolving in flare-ups characterized by intense pruritus and xerosis [1][2][3][4]. AD is the most common chronic inflammatory pathology of the skin and represents the first element of the atopic process [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10]. AD occurs in a family and personal context of atopy associated with abnormalities of the skin barrier and environmental factors [8,[11][12][13][14].…”

“…It mainly affects pediatric and female populations yet may be seen during adulthood [3][4][5]10,14,15]. The worldwide prevalence of AD ranges from 15% to 20% in children and from 1% to 3% in adults; it is 3% in sub-Saharan Africa [1,[5][6][7]15]. In Cameroon, Kouotou et al found a prevalence of 14.8% in the general population [16,17].…”

“…Being on the rise worldwide, including in low-income countries, AD represents a real public health problem [1,3,8,9,18,19]. In addition, there are difficulties in its diagnosis and management due to the inappropriate level of knowledge of the nursing staff, problems in acceptance by patients and difficulties in accessing treatment [2,[7][8][9]16,[20][21][22][23]. In addition, it has a major socio-economic impact on the lives of patients due to the cost of treatment, stigmatization, sleep disorders, and the inconvenience in professional and personal activities (impaired quality of life in 93.5% of individuals affected in Cameroon) [1,15,21,24].…”

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) or atopic eczema is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis characterized by intense pruritus and skin xerosis. Its prevalence is increasing in low-income countries and it has a major socio-economic impact. However, very few studies have included all age groups, and knowledge of factors associated with AD remains limited in our context. We, therefore, conducted a study to assess the epidemiological aspects and factors associated with AD in hospitals in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study conducted from December 2020 to July 2021 in four health facilities in Yaoundé. All patients consulting at dermatology departments with signs of AD and freely consenting were included. Sociodemographic, environmental, and clinical data was studied and analyzed with SPSS, version 26, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Among the 248 patients enrolled, 84 suffered from AD. These were mainly children (64.3%) and female (sex ratio: 0.4). The mother’s occupation (housewife, retired, private sector employee), the participant’s and father’s level of education, a history of asthma in siblings, and a history of flexural fold lesions were associated with AD. Conclusion: AD is more common in children and is strongly related to socio-demographic factors. Key words: Atopic dermatitis; Sociodemographic factors; Associated factors; Yaoundé; Cameroon

“…Zeppa et al [14] found lesions to be located predominantly on the upper limbs (66.6%), followed by the face (45.9%) and the lower limbs (34.6%). In fact, these sites are described as the most affected in adults with AD [19] and these adults had lesions in at least three sites [20].…”

Background: Immuno-allergic dermatoses have been highly increasing for a decade in African settings. They are the first chief complaint of dermatological conditions in Senegal. Our objective was to describe their epidemiological, clinical, and etiological patterns. Methodology: We conducted a looking-forward descriptive study for 1 year ranging from April 2020 to April 2021 in the Dermatology Department of Aristide LeDantec Hospital in Dakar. We recruited both inpatients and outpatients. Results: Among 5633 patients received for consultation, 149 cases were pooled accounting for a prevalence of 2,6%. The mean age was 31,42 years old. Atopic dermatosis was the first immuno-allergic dermatosis representing 66,4%. They were followed by toxidermia in 16,1% of cases, contact dermatitis in 12,75% of cases, and urticaria in 4,69%. For patients with atopic dermatosis, a respiratory prick test was carried out in 14,1% of patients with a positivity in 57,1% of cases. Of the patients with urticaria and/or angioedema, the main triggering factor was drug use in 57,14% of cases. In our study, antibiotics were the first drug-related toxidermia in our patients accounting for 41,7% of cases. They were followed by herbal therapy in 29,2% of cases and paracetamol in 16,7% of cases. Conclusion: To date, immuno-allergic dermatoses constitute the first chief complaint in our structure and are by far dominated by atopic dermatitis. Automedication and herbal therapy are public health concerns. By causing toxidermia, often in their most serious patterns, they can have a vital prone-threat involvement.
