ABSTRACT

Introduction: the aim of this work is to evaluate the contribution of thoracic computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of COVID-19 in Guinea.Methods: this was a retrospective study with data recorded over a 2 Month period. Records of patients who tested positive on chest CT without contrast injection on admission were included in this study. Not included are those who did or did not perform a chest CT scan after confirmation of the diagnosis by RT-PCR. The data were collected under the direction of the National Health Security Agency (ANSS) and analysed using STATA/SE version 11.2 software.Results: all patients tested performed a chest CT scan without contrast injection while awaiting the RT-PCR test result. Eighty percent (80%) of patients had lesions characteristic of COVID-19 viral pneumonia on chest CT. The reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) test was later positive in 33 patients (94.28%) and negative in 2 (5.71%).Conclusion: it is noted from this study that chest computed tomography is a critical tool in the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Its systematization in all patients suspected in our dispute, would facilitate diagnosis while waiting for confirmation by RT-PCR and would limit the loss of cases

Elle a ete menee selon une technique de sondage aleatoire systematique a 3 degres et porte sur 938 travailleurs. Le diagnostic de la migraine etait base sur les criteres IHS de 1988 avec une modification sur la duree ou le nombre des acces (IHS + probable). Resultats La prevalence des cephalees etait de 24;8(IC95: [22;1-27;8]). La prevalence de la migraine etait de 8;9(IC95: [7;2-10;9]) celle de la migraine IHS etant de 2;3; celle de la migraine probable de 6;6. Elle est significativement plus frequente chez les femmes 20;8(p10-7) et chez les cadres superieurs 16;9(p10-5). La migraine sans aura etait la forme la plus frequente (60;7). Conclusion Ces resultats suggerent une frequence de la migraine chez les travailleurs de la ville de Cotonou et imposent d'en etudier l'impact
