Abstract
This study aims to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic characteristics of patients followed for tuberculosis at the Regional Hospital Center of Tahoua (Niger) as well as their outcomes.We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study from the medical records of patients followed for tuberculosis between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019. A total of 465 patients were included in the present study (304 men and 161 women; mean age: 30 years). Patients coming from urban areas represented 51% of the cases. Bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis represented 63% of the cases, 15% of clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis and 22% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis including Pott's disease. The HIV testing rate was 97.8%. Tuberculosis-HIV association represented 13% of the cases. The therapeutic success was 90.5%. The lethality rate was 5.2% (24/465). Among 24 patients who died, three had tuberculosis-HIV association.
期刊介绍:
Le Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique et la société savante (SPE) dont il est la vitrine ont été créés en 1908 par Alphonse Laveran. Destiné, dans un premier temps, à servir de support à la publication des travaux des sociétaires présentés en séance sous forme de communication ou de mémoire, ce périodique est devenu, au fil du temps, une revue internationale francophone multidisciplinaire, ouverte à tous les médecins, vétérinaires, anthropologues et chercheurs travaillant dans le domaine de la médecine tropicale humaine et animale et de la santé publique dans les pays en voie de développement.
