摘要

背景:被忽视的热带疾病(NTDs)是一类常见于贫困人群的疾病。NTD 主要在热带地区确诊。虽然南非不在热带地区,但由于贫困率较高,因此很容易患上某些 NTD。有关南非自由州省非传染性疾病负担的数据十分有限。本研究旨在确定六年来在自由州省公共部门通过组织病理学标本确诊的 NTD 数量,并评估患者的人口统计学特征:方法:我们进行了一项回顾性、描述性研究。研究纳入了2015年1月1日至2020年12月31日期间该省公立医院提交给解剖病理部、国家卫生实验室服务部和自由州大学的所有经组织病理标本诊断的非小细胞肺结核。研究人员记录了每个病例的人口统计学信息、活检部位和转诊医院:结果:共诊断出 72 例 NTD。最常见的五种诊断为棘球蚴病(33 人;45.8%)、血吸虫病(13 人;18.1%)、麻风病(9 人;12.5%)、霉菌瘤(8 人;11.1%)和肠道蠕虫病(5 人;6.9%)。10名(30.3%)确诊为棘球蚴病的患者来自自由邦的邻国莱索托:结论:棘球蚴病是南非中部地区确诊的最常见的非传染性疾病。我们建议南非卫生部将棘球蚴病与土壤传播的蠕虫病、血吸虫病、麻风病和狂犬病一起列入南非主要的重要非传染性疾病。

A Retrospective Review of Neglected Tropical Diseases Diagnosed on Histopathological Specimens in the Free State Province, South Africa, 2015-2020.

Background: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a heterogeneous group of medical conditions that commonly occur in underprivileged populations. NTDs are primarily diagnosed in tropical areas. Although South Africa is not situated in a tropical region, the high poverty rate makes the country susceptible to some NTDs. Limited data are available on the burden of NTDs in the Free State province of South Africa. This study aimed to determine the number of NTDs diagnosed on histopathological specimens in the public sector of the Free State province over a six-year period and to evaluate the patient demographics.

Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study was performed. All NTDs diagnosed in histopathological specimens from public sector hospitals in the province submitted to the Department of Anatomical Pathology, National Health Laboratory Service, and University of the Free State between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2020 were included in the study. The demographic information, biopsy site, and referring hospital were noted for each case identified.

Results: A total of 72 NTDs were diagnosed. The five most common diagnoses were echinococcosis (n = 33; 45.8%), bilharzia (n = 13; 18.1%), leprosy (n = 9; 12.5%), mycetoma (n = 8; 11.1%), and intestinal worms (n = 5; 6.9%). Ten (30.3%) patients diagnosed with echinococcosis came from the Free State's neighbouring country, Lesotho.

Conclusion: Echinococcosis was the most prevalent NTD diagnosed in central South Africa. We recommend that the South African Department of Health add echinococcosis to the principal NTDs of significance in South Africa, alongside soil-transmitted helminths, schistosomiasis, leprosy, and rabies.
