RESUMO

Multifocal tuberculosis is rare in immunocompetent subjects. It is characterized by the involvement of at least two extra-pulmonary sites, associated or not with lung disease. It is often difficult to diagnose. We here report a case of multifocal tuberculosis in a non-immunocompromised black African subject at the Hubert Koutoukou Maga National Hospital and University Center (CNHU-HKM) in Cotonou, Benin. The study involved a 23-year-old man, with no particular previous history, admitted with diffuse abdominal pain associated with alteration of general state. Clinical examination showed severe malnutrition and medium-volume ascites. Imaging tests (chest X-ray, ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan) showed multiple lung, liver, pancreatic, bone, lymph nodes and colic lesions suggesting multimetastatic tumor. Colonoscopy then showed budding lesion of the cecum. GeneXpert test showed Koch´s bacilli. The anatomo-pathological examination of colic biopsies and GeneXpert sputum test confirmed multifocal tuberculosis. The patient received antituberculosis treatment and nutritional support. However he died. Multifocal tuberculosis is a serious disease that is difficult to diagnose. Then it is frequently mis-diagnosed in tropical areas, especially when it occurs in immunocompetent patients.

RESUMO

Le syndrome d'Alagille, est une affection multisystémique héréditaire de transmission autosomique dominante. Sa prévalence est estimée à 1 pour 70 000 à 100 000 naissances vivantes. Nous rapportons l'observation d'un jeune nourrisson de 6 semaines suivi au CNHU-HKM de Cotonou, Bénin. Le diagnostic est basé sur l'association de la dysmorphie faciale, des atteintes hépatiques, cardiaques, et oculaires. L'évolution a été défavorable avec décès au bout d'une semaine témoignant du pronostic sombre des formes avec cardiopathie complexe associée. Le syndrome d'Alagille reste un diagnostic différentiel des syndromes de cholestase chronique en pédiatrie et mérite d'être connu

RESUMO

Introduction: Étudier le profil épidémiologique, clinique et paraclinique de la PKAD chez des patients diagnostiqués au CNHU de Cotonou et évaluer l'intérêt d'un dépistage chez les patients à risque. Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude transversale comportant une revue de dossiers des patients cliniquement diagnostiqués PKAD à la clinique universitaire de néphrologie et d'hémodialyse du 1er janvier 2000 au 31 janvier 2011, et une enquête familiale chez les patients où le diagnostic de PKAD a été confirmé entre le 1er février et le 31 Août 2011.Un séquençage à la recherche de mutations dans les gènes de la Polycystine 1 et 2 a été réalisé chez les cas index. Résultats: L'incidence hospitalière de la PKAD était de 7,8 cas par an. Le dépistage familial avait permis d'examiner 99 membres de 22 familles et de confirmer 14 cas de PKAD. L'âge moyen des patients était de 45,6±12,8ans. Le signe physique le plus fréquent était l'hypertension artérielle (HTA (83%). Une insuffisance rénale chronique était observée dans 75% des cas. Le séquençage direct avait permis de mettre en évidence 7 nouvelles mutations dont 02 mutations dans les gènes PKD2 et 5 dans PKD1. Conclusion: La PKAD relativement fréquente, présente de nouvelles mutations chez les patients diagnostiqués au CNHU de Cotonou. Le conseil génétique est particulièrement indiqué dans les familles où la maladie rénale a débuté précocement

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of varicocèle is clinical. In order to improve diagnosis of varicocele, we compared the clinical with the ultrasound findings in schoolboys with the condition. This is because the conditions can affect testicular growth. PATIENTS AND METHODS: It was a cross-sectional, descriptive study of schoolboys aged from 10 to 19 years who had varicocele. Among 2724 boys examined, 149 had varicocele and only 81 had scrotal (18 with Doppler) and renal ultrasound examination. RESULTS: Among the 81 adolescents who were clinically diagnosed with varicocele and also with the aid of ultrasound scan, 25, 36 and 20 had grade 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Testicular hypotrophy (TH) was clinically noticed in 17 cases. At ultrasonography, varicocele was bilateral in 87.66% and unilateral in 12.34% (P = 0.01) with 32 adolescents (39.51%) showing TH compared with 20.99% being diagnosed with TH using clinical examination alone (P = 0.01). In 50 schoolboys (61.73%) with unilateral varicocele, a subclinical type was discovered at other side. Renal ultrasound revealed abnormalities in 4.93% of cases. Doppler ultrasound helped in finding varicoceles along the top edge of the testis (n = 15) and under tunica albuginea (n = 3). CONCLUSION: TH due to varicocele is better studied by ultrasound.
