[Microscopic observation of bacteria on MGG stained blood smear in a patient with decompensated cardiac failure by infection]

The presence of inclusions miming cocci and bacilli on MGG stained blood smears is a routine event in laboratories. However, performing peripheral blood smear to detect microorganisms in context of sepsis is not recommended for diagnosis of bacteremia because of its low sensitivity compared to blood culture. Otherwise, the fortuitous detection of bacteria on MGG stained peripheral blood smear for leucocytes differentiating purpose represents an evidence of strong bacteremia frequently associated with poor prognosis. Before accepting a diagnosis of sepsis and bacterial involvement, we need to perform more investigations as well as blood cultures or free culture methods. In this way, we report a single case of a sever sepsis detected fortuitously on MGG stained blood smear for leucocytes differentiation by the presence of free and intra-leukocytes lengthened inclusions in a patient hospitalized in intensive care unit and dead for multi-visceral insufficiency despite the early wide spectrum antibiotic use then adapted antimicrobial therapy once microbiological results were provided

Etude epidemiologique parasitaire et mycologique dans une creche de Rabat

The parasite infections set a public health problem, especially in the developing countries. This research concern 109 children and 7 babysitters of a day nursery in Rabat. The intestinal parasite infections prevalence is of 33% for the children and of 71% for the adults. The mycology infection is inferior to 1%. The most frequent intestinal parasites among children are the Enterobius vermicularis 23,85% and the Giardia intestinal [8,25%] the Enterobius vermicularis processing control by the scotch test shows a pyrantel pamoate efficiency at 100%. The hygiene provisions are emphasized
