Each year, all over the world, half a million women die of pregnancy-related complications most of which could be avoided. In spite of enormous efforts at handling this problem, the results have been small. In many countries, the extent of the problem is virtually unknown for lack of reliable birth and mortality data. Where vital statistics are incomplete or non-existent, one should have recourse to other sources of information. In reaction to the classic, yet inadequate methods of collecting information, indirect techniques for estimating maternal mortality have been developed. One of these procedures is the sisterhood method: using this technique, researchers are able to deduce indicators of maternal mortality based on the proportion of sisters, who, once reached childbearing age, survived or died during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum. The authors tested this method in Niger in a rural area with difficult access to primary health care. They noted a maternal mortality rate of 1,050 every 100,000 live births. This practical and simple method of estimating maternal mortality in a given area, at a relatively low cost, could readily be incorporated into routine medical activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":7901,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale","volume":"73 4","pages":"279-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19121712","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}

This paper describes the experiences gained at the Presbyterian General Hospital in Manyemen between 1990 and 1992 regarding HIV infection in pregnant women, AIDS case management, counseling and home visits. A total of 383 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics were tested. We found a 2.9% HIV-1 seroprevalence and a 17% reactivity to a non-specific syphilis test, rapid plasma reagin, RPR. In 1990, 1991 and 1992, we diagnosed 55, 89 and 94 cases of clinical AIDS respectively. New TB cases seen in the same period showed the following HIV positive rates 3.5%, 2.4% and 5.8%. A detailed study of 78 AIDS patients revealed that the five most common presenting signs in our patients were wasting (80%), prolonged fever (28%), chronic diarrhoea (17%), oropharyngeal candidiasis (14%) and pulmonary TB (10%). Pretest and post test counseling is routinely done by the AIDS team. About 79% of the patients were post counselled as were 27% of their relatives. Home visits have been started.

Of twenty lectins tested, eight (Concanavalin A- Con A, Lathyrus odoratus- LOA, Lens culinaris, Pisum sativum-PSA, Vicia faba- VFA, Triticum vulgaris, Maclura pomifera- MPA and Ulex europaeus) specifically reacted with the salivary gland membrane. Both mannosyl and N-acetylglucosamine moieties were detected in the three Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto strains, the two An. arabiensis strains and a single An. merus strain examined. Variations in the degrees of fluorescent intensities of Con A and MPA in particular suggested interspecies differences in membrane mannosyl and galactosyl residues on the salivary gland lobes of the three mosquito species in this study. Furthermore, intraspecific variations in mannose as indicated by Con A, LOA, PSA and VFA staining were demonstrated between the An. gambiae s.s. strains. The use of either peroxidase-labelled or biotinylated lectins confirmed the binding specificities of the above lectins. The consistent differences observed in lectin binding suggest that variations occur in salivary gland surface carbohydrate residues and that lectins can be used to distinguish between at least some members of the An. gambiae complex.</p>","PeriodicalId":7901,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale","volume":"73 3","pages":"197-207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19267934","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}

The mean Hb was 9.03 g/dL, Hct 28.4%, and MCHC 30.7 micrograms/dL. These means are below normal by WHO and/or American Academy of Pediatrics criteria. Although there was no significant sex difference in the mean hematoglobin measurements, boys more than 24 months old had a higher mean Hb (9.98 g/dL) than girls (8.59d g/L) of the same age. Approximately 80%, 76% and 56% of children had Hb < 11 g/dL, Hct < 34% and MCHC < 32 micrograms/dL respectively. The highest prevalence of anemia was between the age of 12 and 18 months. Severe anemia (Hb < 8 g/dL) was observed in 30.65% of the study population (26.6% boys and 34.8% girls). Approximately one third of children had very low Hct levels (< or = 25%). Based on MCHC, iron deficiency was likely responsible of the anemia in 61% of the children. Both Hb (p < 0.05) and Hct positively correlated with the mother's level of education. Because of the many detrimental effects of iron deficiency in infants and young children on immunity, psychomotor, behaviour and mental development routine assessment of iron status and correction of iron deficiency should become a part of the Surveillance Programme in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":7901,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Societe belge de medecine tropicale","volume":"73 3","pages":"227-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19267937","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}
