RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: General anaesthesia and surgery increase morbidity and mortality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) who are not known to have OSAHS and therefore not treated before surgery. The objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of OSAHS using the STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ) in patients undergoing general anaesthesia in Burkina Faso. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study concerning patients having received pre-anaesthetic consultation from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021. Risk of OSAHS is considered "medium to high" when the risk of obstructive sleep apnea is medium or high on SBQ. RESULTS: Our population consisted in 599 persons. A medium to high risk of OSAHS was found in 11.18%. The ASA score and the Mallampati scale were independently associated with moderate to high risk of OSAHS (P<0.001; P<0.001). ASA score of I and Mallampati class of I decreased the risk of OSAHS by 17 and 45% respectively (P=0.012; P=0.031). CONCLUSION: The risk of OSAHS in this population is comparable to that of the general population. Confirmation of OSAHS by ventilatory polygraphy or polysomnography would help to achieve further precision.

Background: The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced. Shisha use has recently been gaining increased popularity in many developed and developing countries. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of shisha use among students in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and associated knowledge, smoking practices and beliefs about health effects. Methods: A total of 443 students were selected for this cross-sectional study, using a stratified sampling method. Data on shisha use, knowledge about shisha, shisha smoking practices, and factors associated with use of shisha were collected via a questionnaire. The association between the independent variables and shisha use was assessed using a χ² test (p<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine variables that were independently associated with shisha smoking. Results: Of the 421 respondents, 162 (38.5%) indicated that they had smoked shisha; 14.0% were regular smokers. We found that 183 students (43.5%) had poor knowledge about the health effects of shisha. The main reasons for shisha smoking were being in the company of friends who were users (57.4%), the pleasant flavour and fragrance of shisha (25.9%), and fashion (22.2%). Ninety-nine shisha smokers (61.1%) also consumed alcohol. Factors associated with shisha smoking included age <20 years (p<0.001), gender (p=0.034), and educational level of the respondent's father (p=0.0001) and mother (p=0.0004). Conclusion: We found a relatively high prevalence of shisha smoking among the students, and that 43.5% of them had poor knowledge about its effects on health. Developing surveillance, intervention and regulatory/policy frameworks specific to shisha has become a public health priority. Study synopsis: What the study adds. The study provides additional data from resource-poor settings such as Burkia Faso, where there is an overall high prevalence of Sisha smoking, and also among students who are poorly informed about the health effects of smoking. Implications of the findings. The data informs advocacy and intervention strategies to combat smoking and decrease overall tobacco use in an African setting.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Chronic respiratory diseases, particularly asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pose a significant threat to public health. This study aims to determine the accessibility and affordability of means of diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study covering the period from August to December 2021 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. This study involved 107 health centers and 135 pharmacies. The World Health Organization/Health Action International definition was used as a benchmark for accessibility to medicines. RESULTS: Out of 107 health centers, 29 (27.1%) had a spirometer. The average cost of spirometry represented 19.88 days of salary for a patient paid at the minimum wage. The most widely available drugs were salbutamol in a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) (88.1%) and prednisone 20mg tablet (87.4%). No disease-modifying drug was available in public pharmacies. Affordable drugs were salbutamol 4mg tablet and aminophylline 100mg tablet. CONCLUSION: The means of diagnosis and treatment of asthma and COPD are insufficiently available, especially in the public sector, which is characterized by a nearly total absence of basic treatment.

Objectif. L'apparition de plusieurs cas de pneumopathie d'origine inconnue en Chine a conduit à l'identification du SARS-CoV-2. L'objectif de ce travail était de décrire le profil épidémioclinique et évolutif des patients hospitalisés dans notre centre de prise en charge afin de contribuer à l'amélioration de la lutte contre cette pandémie. Population et Méthodes. Il s'est agi d'une étude de cohorte rétrospective qui s'est déroulée du 19 mars au 31 septembre 2020 au CHUSS de Bobo Dioulasso. Résultats. Au total, 44 patients ont été inclus dans l'étude. La moyenne d'âge des patients était de 46,8 ans [14-84 ans]. Le sex ratio était de 0,7. La tranche d'âge la plus représentée était celle 50 et 64 ans avec 38,4% des patients. Les patients diabétiques et hypertendus représentaient respectivement 25% et 29,5% des cas. Les principaux symptômes étaient la dyspnée, la fièvre et la toux notées respectivement chez 54,5%, 54,5 % et 47,7% des cas. A la radiographie thoracique, les opacités de type micronodulaire étaient les plus représentées dans 66,7% des cas. L'oxygénothérapie a été nécessaire dans 38,6% des cas. Le protocole Covid-19 en vigueur dans le pays était instauré chez 90,9% des cas. Avec une durée d'hospitalisation moyenne de 12,4 jours, l'évolution clinique a été marquée par un décès chez 22,7 % des cas. Conclusion. Dans notre contexte, cette maladie reste l'apanage des sujets âgés présentant des comorbidités. L'une de difficultés de sa prise en charge était l'insuffisance du plateau technique expliquant en grande partie ce fort taux de létalité.
Objective. The occurrence of several cases of pneumonia of unknown origin in China led to the identification of SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients admitted to our care center to contribute to the improvement of the control of this pandemic. Population and methods. This was a retrospective cohort study which took place from 19 March to 31 September 2020 at the CHUSS of Bobo Dioulasso. Results. A total of 44 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 46.8 years [14- 84 years]. The sex ratio was 0.7. The most represented age group was 50-64 years with 38.4% of patients. Diabetic and hypertensive patients represented 25% and 29.5% of the cases respectively. The main symptoms were dyspnea, fever and cough, which were noted in 54.5%, 54.5% and 47.7% of cases respectively. On chest X-ray, micronodular opacities were the most common in 66.7% of cases. Oxygen therapy was required in 38.6% of cases. The Covid-19 protocol in force in the country was implemented in 90.9% of cases. With an average hospital stay of 12.4 days, the clinical course was marked by death in 22.7% of cases. Conclusion. In our context, this disease remains the prerogative of elderly subjects with comorbidities. One of the difficulties of its management was the insufficiency of the technical platform explaining in large part this high rate of lethality.

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common respiratory disorder related to sleep. Its prevalence in developed countries varies from 3% to 28%. In several African countries, including Burkina Faso, this syndrome is still under-diagnosed and goes largely untreated. It is necessary to conduct studies in different contexts to determine the characteristics and develop the strategies for management of OSAS. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of OSAS in Burkina Faso. METHODS: This prospective study recruited 106 patients coming for consultation for sleep disorders at the Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital Center, who responded to a self-questionnaire and were diagnosed by respiratory polygraphy. RESULTS: A total of 77 patients (72.6%) had OSAS. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1 and the mean (standard deviation) age was 47.8 (12.8) years. The majority of the patients (53.8%) were obese. The main reason for consultation was snoring (84%), followed by hypopnea-apnoea reported (59.4%) and daytime sleepiness (45.3%). The most common comorbidity factor was hypertension (50%), followed by decreased libido (16%) and diabetes (13.2%). A continuous positive-pressure (CPAP) machine was prescribed to 51.25% of the patients, but only 22% were able to acquire it. CONCLUSION: The monitoring of OSAS is relatively new in Burkina Faso. This study showed the profile of patients with OSAS and difficulties in accessing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices for treatment.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) is a frequent and underdiagnosed pathology. Epidemiological studies in sub-Saharan Africa are few. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of SAS symptoms in an adult population in Burkina Faso. METHODS: A cross-sectional study whose data collection took place at the Yalgado Ouédraogo Teaching Hospital, from 1 September to 31 October 2014. We randomly enrolled all subjects aged at least 25 accompanying an outpatient t the time of a visit. A strong suspicion of SAS was established for every combination of ordinary snoring with excessive daytime sleepiness and/or sleep apnoea. RESULTS: The study included 311 subjects - 181 men and 130 women. The mean (standard deviation (SD)) age was 31.84 (8.25) years and the average (SD) BMI was 23.14 (3.67) kg/m². The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring and sleep apnoea was 4.5%, 26% and 9.6%, respectively. A strong suspicion of SAS was found in 9.6% of respondents and the risk factors associated with this strong suspicion were BMI≥25 kg/m² (odds ratio (OR) 2.7; p=0.012), and poor-quality sleep (OR 3.7; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: A significant proportion of our sample had symptoms suggestive of SAS. Testing with either respiratory polygraphy or polysomnography should be proposed to the presumptive cases for early diagnosis and treatment.
RESUMEN
Background: Despite the recommendations now in force for the management of asthma, evidence suggests that many asthmatic patients still have their disease uncontrolled. Objective: to assess asthma control and to identify the fac-tors associated with uncontrolled disease among the patients received for consultation in the department of Pneumology in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from 02/01/2015 to 01/31/2016 in the department of Pneu-mology of Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital in Oua-gadougou. All asthma patients seen during this time frame participated in this study. The 2014 GINA criteria were used to assess the asthma control status.Results: One hundred and two asthmatic patients were in-cluded (76 women and 26 men) with a mean age of 38.7 ± 18.6 years. Asthma was found to be well controlled in 26.5% of cases, partially controlled in 34.3% of cases and uncontrolled in 39.2% of cases. The following factors were found to be associated with an uncontrolled asthma: age >36 years (p = 0.002), low level of education (p = 0.04), allergic rhinitis (p = 0.01), overweight (p = 0.03), duration of asthma ⥠10 years (p = 0.04), therapeutic non-compliance (p = 0.00).Conclusion: Asthma was insufficiently controlled in our study. A tremendous emphasis must be put on not only on the therapeutic education of asthma patients, but also on a better management of comorbiditie

INTRODUCTION: Abnomalies of the aortic arches are rare and account for 1% of congenital cardiovascular malformations. They constitute one of the causes of compression of the airways with attacks of dyspnea sometimes simulating an asthma. We report the case of an infant with an anomaly development of aortic arches with impact breathing. CASE REPORT: It was a 22-month-old infant who consulted for a dyspnea with a type of stridor associated with a fat cough. This clinical table started 45 days after its birth and led to many hospitalizations in the pediatric emergency. Clinical exam found polypnea, with a wheezing, bronchial groan and diffuse sibilants on the auscultation. The chest X-ray revealed a slightly retractile right lung. The angioscanner of the thoracic and abdominal aorta showed a double aortic arch with retro-oesophageal left ventricular artery. A thoracotomy was performed and the operative sequences were simple. CONCLUSION: The congenital anomalies of the aortic arch are rare and varied, sometimes asymptomatic. This case reminds us that, in front of any recurrent or digestive respiratory signs in the infant, malformation of the aortic arches should be considered.

OBJECTIVES: Estimate the tolerance of antituberculous drugs prescribed in the treatment of multi resistant tuberculosis on patients followed in the service of Pneumology of the University hospital of Yalgado Ouedraogo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: It was a retrospective and prospective longitudinal investigation. The files of patients allowed to inform the questionnaire for the retrospective phase (2010-2011), the follow-up of patients during the prospective phase (2011-2013) allowed for data collection. All the patients under antituberculous treatment of 2nd line between January 1st, 2010 and the August 31st, 2013 were included. RESULTS: 71 cases of multi resistant tuberculosis (MRT) were included. The sex-ratio was 3.4. The age bracket from 30 to 39 was the most represented (39.4 %). A notion of tubercular contage was found in 18 (25.3%) patients. All MRT patient had histories of treatment including aminoside lasting more than 2 months. Intolerance of the treatment was reported in 57 patients. Intolerance predominated in 30 to 39 years olds and in Tuberculosis/HIV co-infected patients. The neurological (47.9%) and psychiatric (47.9%) infringements were the most represented. Vestibulocochlear impact was seen in 42.3% of cases with 18.3% reporting of total deafness. CONCLUSION: The intolerance of the antituberculous treatment of the second line is real focus for clinicians. Shorter timeframes would avoid certain therapeutic modifications thought to be at the origin of failures.

PATIENTS ET MÉTHODES: Il s'est agi d'une enquête longitudinale rétrospective et prospective. Les dossiers des patients ont permis de renseigner le questionnaire pour la phase rétrospective (20102011), le suivi des patients durant la phase prospective (20112013) a permis la collecte des données. Etaient inclus tous les patients sous traitement antituberculeux de 2ème ligne entre le 1er Janvier 2010 et le 31 Aout 2013. RÉSULTATS: Au total 71 cas de tuberculose multi résistante (TB-MDR) ont été recrutés. Le sex- ratio était 3,4. La tranche d'âge de 30 à 39 était la plus représentée (39,4%). Une notion de contage tuberculeux a été retrouvée chez 18 (25,3%) des patients. Tous les patients TB-MR avaient des antécédents de traitement incluant des aminosides de durée supérieure à 2 mois. L'intolérance au traitement a été rapportée chez 57 patients. Elle prédominait chez les 30 à 39 ans et chez les sujets co-infectés Tuberculose/VIH. Les atteintes neurologiques (47,9%) et psychiatriques (47,9%) étaient les plus représentées. L'atteinte vestibulo-cochléaire était de 42,3% avec 18,3% de surdité totale. CONCLUSION: L'intolérance du traitement antituberculeux de deuxième ligne est un véritable hantise pour le clinicien. Des régimes plus courts éviteraient certainement des modifications thérapeutiques à l'origine de survenue d'échecs.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Identify the obstacles with the best coverage of the patient asthmatic by the actors of the health in Ouagadougou. METHOD: Transverse Study with descriptive aim from January till December 2012, associated with a review of the literature concerning the role of the actors of health in the coverage of the asthma. RESULT: the technique of demonstration of the grip of the spray measuring glass was known to 46 % of the doctors. A medical prescription was required by 9 % of the pharmacists before the delivery of medicine asthmatic. The check of the conformity of the prescription was made by 30 % of the pharmacists, the demonstration of the grip of the spray measuring glass to the pharmacy was assured by 73,6 % of the pharmacists and mastered well by 34,5 %.Within the framework of the treatment of the asthma, 43,2 % of the male nurses knew that ß2-mimetic and corticoids were the most used medicine. ß2-mimetic inhaled by quick action was recommended by 40,6 % of the male nurses in the occasional asthma, this prescription is not in compliance with the recommendations of GINA. CONCLUSION: A need for training / recycling is expressed by almost all of the actors of health occurring in the coverage of the asthma in Burkina Faso.
OBJECTIF: Identifier les entraves à la meilleure prise en charge du patient asthmatique par les acteurs de la santé à Ouagadougou. MÉTHODE: Etude transversale à visée descriptive de Janvier à décembre 2012, associée à une revue de la littérature portant sur le rôle des acteurs de santé dans la prise en charge de l'asthme. RÉSULTAT: La technique de démonstration de la prise de l'aérosol doseur était maitrisée chez 46% des médecins. Une ordonnance médicale était exigée par 9% des pharmaciens avant la délivrance des médicaments asthmatiques. La vérification de la conformité de la prescription médicale était faite par 30% des pharmaciens, la démonstration de la prise de l'aérosol doseur à l'officine était assurée par 73,6% des pharmaciens et bien maîtrisée par 34,5%. Dans le cadre du traitement de l'asthme, 43,2 % des infirmiers savaient que les bronchodilatateurs et les corticoïdes étaient les médicaments les plus utilisés. Les bronchodilatateurs inhalés d'action rapide étaient recommandés par 40,6 % des infirmiers dans l'asthme intermittent, cette prescription n'est pas conforme aux recommandations de la GINA. CONCLUSION: Un besoin de formation/recyclage est exprimé par la quasi-totalité des acteurs de santé intervenant dans la prise en charge de l'asthme au Burkina Faso.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Describe the knowledge, beliefs and practices on tuberculosis of tubercular patients' carers in Ouagadougou. METHODS: A prospective descriptive transversal study was carried out. Participants were sourced from the four Centers of Diagnosis and Treatment, the National Center for the Fight Against Tuberculosis and the department of Pneumology of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University hospital. The recruitment was exhaustive and included the carers of tubercular patients (pulmonary tuberculosis with positive microscopy). RESULTS: The average age of the carers was 36 years ± 14, with a majority of them bring male. In 33.7% of the cases the carer was a sibling and not schooled in 45.2%. A good understanding of tuberculosis was found at 20.2 % of the carers. Among the subjects which had a good understanding, 71.4 % were schooled and 88.1% came from an urban environment. Understanding tuberculosis is associated with academic level. Knowledge of the modes of contamination of tuberculosis was low (48,1%). Among the carers, 37% did not know that the tubercular patient should not be isolated by their circle of acquaintances, 19.2% assured the supervision of medicine intake. Respectively, 1.4% and 5.8% believe that tuberculosis is associated with witchcraft and divine punishment. Approximately two thirds of the carers refused to share the same dish as the tubercular patient. CONCLUSION: An insufficient general knowledge of tuberculosis emerges from our work and modes of contamination. The beliefs and behavioral practices of the carers towards the tubercular patients tend to increase the stigmatization of tuberculosis.
OBJECTIF: Décrire les connaissances, croyances et pratiques sur la tuberculose des accompagnateurs des patients tuberculeux à Ouagadougou. MATÉRIELS ET MÉTHODES: Étude transversale prospective à passage unique et à visée descriptive. Les sites de recrutement étaient représentés par les quatre Centres de Diagnostic et de Traitement, le Centre National de Lutte Anti Tuberculeuse et le service de Pneumo-phtisiologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo. Le recrutement a été exhaustif et a concerné les accompagnateurs des patients tuberculeux. RÉSULTATS: L'âge moyen des accompagnateurs était de 36 ans ± 14, une prédominance masculine a été observée. Ils étaient dans 33,7% des cas représentés par la fratrie (frère et/ou sÅur) et non scolarisés dans 45,2%. Une bonne connaissance de la tuberculose était retrouvée chez 20,2% des accompagnateurs. Parmi ceux qui avaient une bonne connaissance, 71,4 % étaient scolarisés et 88,1% provenaient du milieu urbain. La connaissance de la tuberculose était associée au niveau d'instruction. La connaissance des modes de contamination de la tuberculose était faible (48,1%). Parmi les accompagnateurs 37% ne savaient pas que le tuberculeux ne devrait pas être isolé de l'entourage, 19,2% assuraient la supervision des prises des médicaments. Respectivement 1,4% et 5,8% d'entre eux croyaient que la tuberculose relevait de la sorcellerie et d'une punition divine. Environ deux tiers des accompagnateurs refusaient de partager le même plat avec le patient tuberculeux. CONCLUSION: Une insuffisance des connaissances générales sur la TB et des modes de contamination a été observée. Les croyances et pratiques comportementales des accompagnateurs vis-à-vis des patients tuberculeux tendent à stigmatiser d'avantage la tuberculose.

INTRODUCTION: In spite of a better understanding of the physiopathology of asthma and the existence of effective molecules, morbidity and mortality of asthma across the world are constantly increasing. International guidelines are not apparently applied. This study intended to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of general practitioners on asthma in Ouagadougou. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional anonymous self-administered questionnaire involving 93 General Practitioners practicing in Ouagadougou. RESULTS: The participation rate was 63.4% or 59 respondents. The majority of General Practitioners (88%).know the chronic nature of asthma and 61% of them had good knowledge of severe asthma signs. The post-exercise asthma and medication asthma were known respectively by 22% and 15% of General Practitioners. Knowledge of the technique of using pressurized metered dose inhalers was bad in 54% of General Practitioners. In intermittent asthma, 52.5% of General Practitioners prescribed steroids including 27% in oral form. Inhaled corticosteroids were associated with ß2-agonists by 34% of General Practitioners in persistent asthma. After initial treatment, 44% of study physicians routinely referred their patients to pulmonologists. Drug costs, lack of in-service training and lack of national guidelines were perceived as barriers by 56%, 66% and 44% of General Practitioners. CONCLUSION: The management of asthma is not optimal.

Contexte : Malgre une meilleure comprehension de la physiopathologie de l'asthme et de l'existence de molecules efficaces; la morbidite et la mortalite de l'asthme a travers le monde sont en constante augmentation. Le constat est que les directives internationales ne semblent pas etre appliquees. Cette etude se propose d'evaluer les connaissances; les attitudes et les pratiques des medecins generalistes sur l'asthme a Ouagadougou. Methode : Il s'agit d'une etude transversale descriptive et analytique par questionnaire anonyme auto administre qui a concerne 93 medecins generalistes exercant a Ouagadougou. Resultats : Le taux de participation etait de 63;4soit 59 repondants. La majorite des medecins (88) connaissait le caractere chronique de l'asthme et 61des medecins avaient une bonne connaissance des signes de l'asthme aigue grave. L'asthme post-exercice et l'asthme medicamenteux etaient respectivement connus de 22et de 15des medecins. La connaissance de la technique d'utilisation des aerosols doseurs pressurises etait mauvaise chez 54des medecins. Dans l'asthme intermittent; 52;5des medecins prescrivaient des corticoides dont 27sous forme orale. Dans l'asthme persistant; les corticoides inhales etaient associes au mimetiques par 34des medecins. Apres la prise en charge initiale; 44des medecins de l'etude referaient systematiquement leurs malades aux pneumologues. Le cout des medicaments; le manque de formation continue et le manque de directives nationales etaient percus comme des obstacles par respectivement 56; 66et 44des medecins generalistes. Conclusion : La prise en charge de l'asthme n'est pas optimale. La formation des medecins generalistes sur la prise en charge de cette maladie s'avere indispensable

INTRODUCTION: Infections of low respiratory tracks represent a public health issue and are a frequent reason for antibiotic prescription . For children in Africa, they are the main morbidity factor (50% of visits) and mortality (about 20% of infant mortality). Actually, the antibiotherapy, mainly probabilistic, rests on the awareness of the epidemiology of the germs which are responsible in a given region, at a given period. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Epidemio-clinical aspects of bacterial acute infant Pneumopathies at Yalgado Ouédraogo Univercity Health Center. PATIENTS AND METHOD: This a descriptive retrospective study, base on the files of hospitalized patients in the Paediatric Unit of CHU YO from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2006. RESULTS: All in all, 5803 patients with 658 cases of acute bacterial pneumopathy (11.3%) were hospitalized in the paediatric unit. Besides, acute bacterial Pneumopathies, 254 patients had another associated affection. Proteino-calorific malnutrition were frequent (59.7%), coupled with anaemia (36%). The reported most frequent germs are respectively: Streptococcus pneumoniae (29.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (29.3%) et Staphylococcus aureus (25%). The streptococcus was sensitive to association amoxicilline + clavulanic in 66.7% of the cases, to ceftriaxone in 57.1 % of cases. It was 100% resistant to ampicilline and to amoxicilline. The clinical evolution of our patients was favorable in 90% of the cases with 5.5% deaths. CONCLUSION: Pneumopathies affect mostly children who are less than 2 years old favored by malnutrition and anaemia. The high morbid-morbidity related to this pathology could be improved through a better awareness and regular updating of local bacterial ecology.

INTRODUCTION: Bacterial Pneumopathies are low respiratory infections due to parenchyma pulmonary attack, which etiologic agent is a bacteria different from tubercular bacillus. Factually, the treatment is based on a probalistic antibiotherapy. This requires awareness of the epidemiology of the germs which are responsible in a given region, at a given period. PATIENTS AND METHOD: In order to better grasp mainly the bacteriological and therapeutic aspects of adult bacterial Pneumopathies in Burkina Faso, we have come up with a two year journal/documentary. RESULTS: The reported most frequent germs are respectively: Streptococcus pneumoniae (32,6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (21%) et Staphylococcus aureus (13,9%). Negative Gram bacteries represented 53.5% of isolated germ and Acinetobacter was found only with HIV positive patients. The streptococcus was sensitive to association amoxicilline + clavulanic in 91.7% of the cases, to ceftriaxone in 83.3% of cases, to ampicilline and to amoxicilline in 66.7% of cases The clinical evolution of our patients was favorable in 74.5% of the cases with 21.8% deaths. The evolution was more significant within alcoholic patients (p = 0.001) as well as tobacco addicted patients (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: The high morbi-morbidity due to acute pneumopathy could be improved through a better awareness and regular updating of local bacterial ecology.

Introduction : Les pneumopathies bactériennes sont des infections respiratoires basses par atteinte du parenchyme pulmonaire, dont l'agent étiologique est une bactérie autre que le bacille tuberculeux. En pratique, le traitement repose sur une antibiothérapie probabiliste. Ce qui requiert une connaissance de l'épidémiologie des germes responsables dans une région donnée, à un moment donné. Patients et méthode : Ainsi afin de mieux appréhender essentiellement les aspects bactériologiques et thérapeutique des pneumo-pathies bactériennes de l'adulte au Burkina Faso, nous avons réalisé une revue documentaire de deux ans. Résultats : Les germes les plus fréquemment identifiés ont été respectivement Streptococcus pneumoniae (32,6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (21%) et Staphylococcus aureus (13,9%). Les bactéries Gram négatif ont représenté 53,5% des germes isolés et l'Acinetobacter n'a été retrouvé que chez les patients à sérologie VIH positive. Le streptocoque a été sensible à l'association amoxicilline + acide clavulanique dans 91,7% des cas, à la ceftriaxone dans 83,3% des cas, à l'ampicilline et à l'amoxicilline dans 66,7% des cas. L'évolution clinique de nos patients a été favorable dans 74,5% des cas et soldé par un décès dans 21,8% des cas. L'évolution était significativement plus défavorable chez les patients éthyliques (p=0,001), ainsi que les malades tabagiques (p=0,02).Conclusion : La forte morbi-morbidité par pneumopathie aigue pourrait être améliorée grâce à une meilleure connaissance et à une mise à jour régulière de l'écologie bactérienne locale
