    Objectif : Evaluer l’apport de la rĂ©Ă©ducation dans la prise en charge de la lombalgie/lomboradiculalgie commune chronique (LRCC). Patients et mĂ©thodes : Il s’est agi d’une Ă©tude prospective transversale allant du 1er janvier 2015 au 1er mai 2016 (16 mois), portant sur des cas de LRCC vu en rĂ©Ă©ducation au CHU de Cocody Ă  Abidjan en CĂ´te d’ivoire. L’échelle Eifel a permis d’évaluer la capacitĂ© fonctionnelle des patients. Il s’agissait de comparer l’intensitĂ© de la douleur et de son retentissement fonctionnel avant et après rĂ©Ă©ducation. RĂ©sultats : Sur 1380 patients vus, 86 souffraient de LRCC (6,23 %) soit 46 cas de lombalgie isolĂ©e (53,5%) et 40 cas de lomboradiculalgie (46,5%).  Leur âge moyen Ă©tait de 49,9 ans +/- 11,7 (extrĂŞmes : 14 et 71 ans) et le sex ratio de 0,43 (26 hommes et 60 femmes). Le nombre moyen de sĂ©ances de rĂ©Ă©ducation effectuĂ© Ă©tait de 13,5±5,2 (ExtrĂŞmes : 5 et 25) avec une durĂ©e moyenne de 1,6 mois ±0,7 (ExtrĂŞmes : 1 et 5).  L’évolution clinique Ă©tait favorable chez 82 patients (95,35%). L’échelle visuelle analogique (EVA) moyenne Ă©tait de 6,3±2 avant la rĂ©Ă©ducation, et de 1,8±1,6 après rĂ©Ă©ducation. Le score moyen de l’échelle EIFEL Ă©tait de 13,38±5,7 avant la rĂ©Ă©ducation et de 3,6±4,82 après rĂ©Ă©ducation. Il existait une amĂ©lioration statistiquement significative de l’intensitĂ© de la douleur (p=0,02), et de la capacitĂ© fonctionnelle des patients après la rĂ©Ă©ducation (p=0,03). Conclusion : Les patients souffrant de LRCC consultent dans un contexte hyperalgique et invalidant en rĂ©Ă©ducation au CHU de Cocody. Les sĂ©ances de rĂ©Ă©ducation permettent une amĂ©lioration de la douleur et de la capacitĂ© fonctionnelle des patients.   Objective: To evaluate the contribution of rehabilitation in the management of chronic low back pain/ lomboradiculalgia (LRCC). Patients and methods: This was a 16-month prospective cross-sectional study from January 1, 2015, to May 1, 2016, of LRCC cases seen in rehabilitation at the University Hospital of Cocody in Abidjan, Ivoiry Coast. The Eifel scale was used to assess the functional capacity of patients. The aim was to compare the intensity of pain and its functional impact before and after rehabilitation. Results: Of 1380 patients seen, 86 had LRCC (6.23%), i.e. 46 cases of isolated low back pain (53.5%) and 40 cases of lumbaradiculalgia (46.5%). Their mean age was 49.9 years +/- 11.7 (extremes: 14 and 71 years) and the sex ratio was 0.43 (26 men and 60 women).  The average number of rehabilitation sessions performed was 13.5±5.2 (extremes: 5 and 25) with an average duration of 1.6 months ±0.7 (extremes: 1 and 5).  The clinical evolution was favorable in 82 patients (95.35%). The mean visual analog scale (VAS) was 6.3±2 before rehabilitation, and 1.8±1.6 after rehabilitation.  The mean EIFEL score was 13.38±5.7 before rehabilitation and 3.6±4.82 after rehabilitation. There was a statistically significant decrease in pain intensity (p=0.02), and a statistically significant improvement in patients' functional capacity after rehabilitation (p=0.03). Conclusion: Patients suffering from LRCC consult in a hyperalgesic and disabling context in rehabilitation at Cocody. The rehabilitation sessions allow an improvement of the pain and the functional capacity of the patients

    Acute fever in the majority of children in resource-limited countries is attributable to malaria and often treated without laboratory evidence. The aim of the study was to characterize acute pediatric infectious fevers (APIF) in the pediatric department of the Douala Laquintinie Hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted among children aged 2 months to 15 years who were admitted with an acute fever (anal temperature ≥ 37.5°C less than 5 days in infants and 7 days in adolescents). 200 children were included and followed up during their hospitalization. The mean age was 3.7 (IQ25-75: 1-4.6) years. More than 3 out of 5 patients (62.5%) came from another health facility and anemia accounted for 29% of the reasons for consultation associated with fever. The main symptoms were vomiting (28%), cough (26%), convulsions (21%) and diarrhea (20%). Skin-mucosal pallor (43.0%) and hepatosplenomegaly (26.0%) were the most common physical signs encountered. Among febrile children, 116/200 (58%) were infected with at least 1 pathogen, and 1/200 (0.5%) had a fever of unknown etiology. Malaria (53% vs 80.5% presumptive) associated with anemia (95.3% of cases) was the most common pathology associated with APIF, followed by pneumonia (19.5%), meningitis (11.5%) and urinary tract infections (10% vs 54.5% presumptive). Malaria was over-diagnosed on admission and over-treated as well as urinary tract infection. A better understanding of common pathogens carriage, a better capacity for improved diagnosis and a better applied clinical algorithm for febrile illnesses in children are needed
