Place du lavement intra rectal dans les intoxications aigues en milieu rural au Togo
Objectif : DĂ©terminer les caractĂ©ristiques Ă©pidĂ©miologiques, cliniques, thĂ©rapeutiques et Ă©volutives des intoxications aiguĂ«s accidentelles dans un hĂŽpital secondaire en zone rurale au Togo oĂč comme dans lespays en voie de dĂ©veloppement, certaines pratiques peuvent en favoriser leur gravitĂ©.Patients et MĂ©thodes : Il sâagit dâune Ă©tude rĂ©trospective analytique des dossiers de 124 enfants des deux sexes ĂągĂ©s de 0 Ă 10 ans, hospitalisĂ©s pour intoxications aiguĂ«s accidentelles au cours de lâannĂ©e 2008 Ă lâhĂŽpital « YendoubĂ© » de Dapaong au nord Togo.RĂ©sultats : La frĂ©quence hospitaliĂšre Ă©tait de 2,70% (124 intoxications aiguĂ«s sur 4583 malades hospitalisĂ©s). Au moins 9 enfants sur 10 (93,54%) Ă©taient ĂągĂ©s de moins de 5 ans (Ăąge moyen : 2,52 ans±1,34). Les intoxications par lavements intra rectaux occupaient le premier rang (73,38% des enfants), suivies par lâintoxication au pĂ©trole et par lâalcool Ă©thylique. Dans les intoxications par les lavements intra rectaux, les signes cliniques Ă©taient dominĂ©s par la fiĂšvre (60,43%), les signes respiratoires (57,14%), les douleurs abdominales (32,96%), lâanĂ©mie (27,47%), la dĂ©shydratation (23,07%) et le coma (23,07%).Certains enfants ont reçu Ă domicile avant leur admission Ă lâhĂŽpital de lâhuile rouge, du miel ou du lait. Le traitement hospitalier comprenait lâĂ©limination du toxique par les vomissements provoquĂ©s et la diurĂšse forcĂ©e dans 33,70% des cas, les gestes de rĂ©animation (aspiration des voies aĂ©riennes supĂ©rieures, oxygĂ©nothĂ©rapie) chez 19,41% des malades, et un traitement symptomatique chez 33,10% des enfants. Le taux de guĂ©rison Ă©tait de 60,48% au dĂ©cours dâun sĂ©jour moyen de 4,21 jours. Le taux de lĂ©talitĂ© global Ă©tait Ă©levĂ© (29, 03%); lâintoxication par lavement intra rectal Ă©tait responsable Ă elle seule de 83,33% des dĂ©cĂšs.Conclusion : Les intoxications aiguĂ«s accidentelles demeurent toujours un rĂ©el problĂšme de santĂ© publique notamment en milieu rural ; elles sont dominĂ©es par les lavements intra rectaux dont lâissue est souvent fatale. Leur prĂ©vention pour ĂȘtre efficace devra passer par une approche Ă la fois mĂ©diatique, Ă©pidĂ©miologique et communautaire. Objective: To determine epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolution characteristics of accidental acute intoxication in secondary hospital in rural underworld at Togo who as in many development countries some traditional practices can promote gravity.Method: It was a retrospective and descriptive study of 124 children of 0 to 10 years old files hospitalised in 2004 for accidental acute intoxication at Yendoube hospital at Dapaong (Togo).Results: Accidental acute intoxication cases represent 2, 70% of hospitalisation and concern less than 5 years old (93,54%), middle age 2,52 years-old ± 1,3. The rectal wash intoxication was on the first placewith 73, 38%, followed by petroleum and alcoholic intoxication. Clinical sign were various according to toxic product. In rectal wash most sign were fever (60,43%), respiratory sign (57,14%), stomach ache (32,96%), anaemia (27,47%), 23,07% become dehydrated and coma (23,07%). About the otherâs intoxications sign were classics. Some children have received at home red oil (12.87%), milk (9, 68%) or honey (5, 65%). Hospitaltreatments were toxic elimination by vomit technical and diereses method (33.70%), reanimation practices (19, 41%) and symptomatic treatment (33, 10%). The death rate was 29, 03%, but rectal wash intoxication cause 83, 33% of the death.Conclusion: Accidental acute intoxication remain a reel public health problem especially in underworld outclass by rectal wash with many death. His prevention needs a media, epidemiological and community approached
