It has many clinical forms and affects all age groups. Despite the magnitude of this pandemic, data from pediatric cohorts in Cameroon remain sparse. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical presentation of Covid-19 in the pediatric population of the Nkolndongo health district. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a duration of 5 months from January to May 2021 and covered a period of 9 months (March to December 2020). All patients aged 0 to 19 years, suspected of having Covid-19, confirmed by real-time RT-PCR targeting the N and ORF1 ab viral genes and managed in the Nkolndongo health district were included. The results were analyzed using IBM SPSS.23.0 software and the data expressed as frequencies, percentages, and means. The threshold of statistical significance was set at 0.05. Results: This study revealed that 48 patients out of 154 suspected cases were tested positive. The most affected age group was adolescents aged 13 19 years (92.85%). The most frequent symptoms were cough (33%), fever (42%) and nasal discharge (25%). Infants were the least affected. 58% of patients were asymptomatic, 47.91% were in mild stage, 8.33% in moderate stage and 4.16% in severe stage. All the children tested positive survived. Patients with comorbidity were 20 times more likely to develop moderate to severe clinical forms, this being statistically significant. Conclusion: The clinical presentation reported mainly fever, cough and anterior nasal discharge. There was a significant association between the presence of comorbidity and the moderate How to cite this paper: Claude-Audrey, M., Eric, N.E., Isabelle, M.N., Mireille, K.G.C., Nelly, K.N., Adèle-Rose, N.N., Paul, O., Carlin, N.M. and Paul, K.N.

Genetic predispositions, environmental factors, prenatal, and postnatal risk factors have been associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding these factors. Purpose: To examine the available information on pathogenesis and summarize the points of agreement to generate concise information that can guide patient management and spur further research. Method: PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were used to search for studies that analyzed the risk factors associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia between 2006 and 2022 with the key search terms “bronchopulmonary dysplasia, etiology, preterm birth, mechanical ventilation”. Results: This study found that the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is multifactorial, involving close interactions among these major etiological factors and other minor risk factors. A combination of mechanical ventilation, intrauterine factors, inflammation, genetic predispositions, insufficient surfactants, docosahexaenoic acid, and nutrition, among other minor risk factors, was all required in one way or another to influence BPD development. Therefore, studies should continuously update and incorporate the emerging information to assist frontline healthcare workers and generate qualitative data for clinical trial design and further research. Conclusion: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia is different from other respiratory illnesses, and the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary is multifactorial.","PeriodicalId":61486,"journal":{"name":"儿科学期刊(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70525846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a mutation in the IRF6 gene. We report in this observation the 1st Guinean case corrected by the surgical method as well as a review of the literature for a diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Patient and observation: We present the case of a 7-day old male newborn weighing 2700 g who was received for bilateral cleft lip and palate, lower lip fossa or sinuses, bilateral popliteal pterygium, and triangular skin fold above the hallux. The patient underwent several surgical procedures aimed at correcting these abnormalities. The correction of the pterygium of the lower limbs was ensured by excision of the fibrous band, the tenoplasty in z of the calcaneal tendon on the right side and the skin plasty in z in series then immobilized by plaster splints. The immediate postoperative follow-up was straightforward. Conclusion: Popliteal pterygium syndrome is a rare congenital malformation, the diagnosis is primarily clinical. Early soft tissue lengthening surgery and serial z-skin plasty provide better correction of the knee pterygium. Correct correction of facial abnormalities gives the child a better appearance. The management of this syndrome is multidisciplinary.","PeriodicalId":61486,"journal":{"name":"儿科学期刊(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70524480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
