A 36‐year‐old HIV1‐positive woman presented with a 6‐month history of a progressive papular and nodular eruption of the face and subsequent extensive spread to the rest of the skin. The diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis was established by direct examination and skin biopsy. This atypical form had a dramatic improvement after a 21‐day treatment with meglumine antimoniate. This clinical form may be confused with other endemic diseases in western Africa, especially leprosy.

A. Traoré; Jean‐Claude Kadeba; P. Niamba; F. Barro; Laurent Ouédraogo

The use by women of cosmetic products to modify skin color in order to “improve” their appearance and to increase their powers of seduction probably dates from the dawn of time. The products used have varied through time and from place to place, and often according to current ideas of beauty. Black women have been using depigmenting cosmetic products for over a quarter of a century. 1 Their use of these products is clearly increasing worldwide. 1–4 In Burkina Faso, data on this practice exist for the town of Ouagadougou, but no study has previously been carried out in Bobo-Dioulasso, the second city of the country. In this town the practice seems more prevalent. 1,2 The purpose of this study was to evaluate and re-evaluate the situations in Bobo-Dioulasso and Ouagadougou, respectively, and specifically to determine the current prevalence of this practice, to identify the products used, to investigate the motivations of the women using the products, and finally to describe dermatologic complications.

BACKGROUND Leishmaniasis covers three well-individualized clinical variants, each due to individual species found in different geographic areas. Herein we report the first case of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania major involving bone marrow in an AIDS patient in Burkina Faso. CASE REPORT A 38-year-old HIV-positive man presented with generalized, copper-coloured, painless, infiltrated, itching, papulonodular lesions present over the previous 10 months. Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis. The bone-marrow smear showed numerous leishmania. The culture was positive and L. major was identified. The patient was being treated with antiretroviral medication and a pentavalent antimonial compound. The disease progression consisted of attacks and remissions separated by an average of three weeks. DISCUSSION L. major is the Leishmania species identified in Burkina Faso. It is responsible for typical cutaneous leishmaniasis but particular clinical forms have been described in immunodeficient patients, especially with diffuse cutaneous involvement. The spread of L. major infection to bone marrow could represent a public health problem in our country, where the HIV epidemic is still not under control, and particular vigilance is thus called for.

AbstractBackgroundHealth personnel retention in remote areas is a key health systems issue wordwide. To deal with this issue, since 2002 the government of Burkina Faso has implemented a staff retention policy, the regionalized health personnel recruitment policy, aimed at front-line workers such as nurses, midwives, and birth attendants. This study aimed to describe the policy’s development, formulation, and implementation process for the regionalization of health worker recruitment in Burkina Faso.MethodsWe conducted a qualitative study. The unit of analysis is a single case study with several levels of analysis. This study was conducted in three remote areas in Burkina Faso for the implementation portion, and at the central level for the development portion. Indepth interviews were conducted with Ministry of Health officials in charge of human resources, regional directors, regional human resource managers, district chief medical officers, and health workers at primary health centres. In total, 46 indepth interviews were conducted (February 3 - March 16, 2011).ResultsDevelopment The idea for this policy emerged after finding a highly uneven distribution of health personnel across urban and rural areas, the availability of a large number of health officers in the labour market, and the opportunity given to the Ministry of Health by the government to recruit personnel through a specific budget allocation. Formulation The formulation consisted of a call for job applications from the Ministry of Health, which indicates the number of available posts by region.The respondents interviewed unanimously acknowledged the lack of documents governing the status of this new personnel category. Implementation During the initial years of implementation (2002-2003), this policy was limited to recruiting health workers for the regions with no possibility of transfer. The possibility of job-for-job exchange was then approved for a certain time, then cancelled. Starting in 2005, a departure condition was added. Now, regionalized health workers can leave the regions after undergoing a competitive selection process.ConclusionThe policy was characterized by the absence of written directives and by targeting only one category of personnel. Moreover, there was no associated incentive—financial or otherwise—which poses the question of long-term viability.ContexteLe maintien en poste du personnel de la santé dans des régions éloignées est un des principaux problèmes des systèmes de santé partout dans le monde. Pour tenter de régler ce problème, le gouvernement du Burkina Faso a mis en oeuvre depuis 2002 une politique de rétention du personnel dite politique de recrutement régionalisé du personnel de la santé qui concerne les agents de première ligne que sont le personnel infirmier, les sages-femmes et les accoucheuses. Le présent article a pour objectif de décrire le processus d’émergence, de formulation et de mise en oeuvre de cette politique de régionalisation du recrutement du personnel de la santé au Burkina Faso.MéthodesNous avons mené une étude qualitative. L’unité d’analyse est une étude de cas unique avec plusieurs niveaux d’analyse. L’étude a été menée dans trois régions éloignées du Burkina Faso pour la mise en oeuvre et de façon centralisée pour l’émergence. Des entrevues approfondies ont été menées avec des fonctionnaires du ministère de la Santé qui étaient ou ont été responsables des ressources humaines, des directeurs régionaux, des gestionnaires régionaux des ressources humaines, des médecins-chefs de districts et des travailleurs de la santé dans des centres de soins de santé primaires. Au total, 46 entrevues approfondies ont été menées avec des intervenants de différents groupes entre le 3 février et le 16 mars 2011.RésultatsÉmergence L’idée de cette politique a émergé à la suite du constat de la répartition très inégale entre milieux urbains et ruraux du personnel de la santé d’une part, et d’autre part de la disponibilité d’un grand nombre d’agents de santé sur le marché du travail et de la possibilité offerte au ministère de la Santé de recruter du personnel grâce à l’allocation d’un budget spécifique par le gouvernement. Formulation La formulation consistait en un appel de candidature du ministère de la Santé qui indiquait le nombre de postes disponibles par région.Les participants rencontrés sont unanimes pour reconnaitre l’inexistence de lignes directrices concernant le statut de cette nouvelle catégorie de personnel. Mise en oeuvre Au cours des premières années de sa mise en oeuvre (2002-2003), cette politique se résumait aux recrutements du personnel pour les régions sans aucune possibilité de départ. La possibilité d’effectuer une permutation poste pour poste a été acceptée un certain temps, puis a de nouveau été supprimée. À partir de 2005, une condition de départ a été ajoutée. Désormais, les agents régionalisés peuvent quitter les régions après l’admission à un concours professionnel.ConclusionsCette politique est limitée par l’absence de lignes directrices écrites et par le fait qu’elle ne s’adresse qu’à une catégorie de personnel. De plus, aucun incitatif, financier ou non, n’y a été associé, ce qui pose le problème de sa viabilité à long terme.

Introduction: Acne, is a common disease. Its prevalence is 80% among adolescents in the world and 57,1% in Ouagadougou in 2001 among school pupils. The medical literature is provided on the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of acne, and less on perceptions and knowledge of acne patients of their disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, knowledge, beliefs on acne, among pupils and students in Ouagadougou. Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from June to July 2014 in the University of Ouagadougou and in 4 secondary schools in Ouagadougou. Results: We surveyed 425personnes including 40.6% of girls and 59.4% boys. The prevalence of acne was 54.8%. The mean age was 19.53 years, with extremes ranging from 13 to 30 years. Among the etiologies, food was cited by 40.05%, 25.43% puberty, cosmetics 14.03% 3.21% hormones, stress 2.33%, 0.87% seborrhea. Among the foods concerned, peanuts were cited by 37.96%, 21.22% mayonnaise, butter, 21.52%, 8.07% sweets and chocolate 9,41%. oil was incriminated by 72.6% and sugar 5.5%. Among the contributing factors, 19.70% cited tobacco, 19% no sexual relationship. Among the 192 non acne patients, 17% link acne to poor hygiene, 80% would be embarrassed to have a partner acne, 74.40% of non-acne believed that acne altered self-image. For treating acne 26.11% think that acne is incurable. Cosmetic can care acné according to 37,90% and 6,30% believed that natural products are sufficient. Only 15.02% have resorted to a dermatologist. Conclusion: Pupils and students have bad knowledge on acne and bad perception on those who have the disease.

Pedicure-manicure represents the aesthetic care of hands, feet and nails. In Burkina Faso, the use of manicure-pedicure products, the techniques used and the level of risk remain unknown. The aim of our study was to evaluate the practice of manicure-pedicure in the city of Ouagadougou. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of all practitioners with at least six months experience in aesthetic care and customers present at the time of the survey from December 2010 to November 2012. We interviewed a total of 313 practitioners and 313 clients. The average age of practitioners was 19 years and of customers was 32.2 years. Fixed location practitioners were mostly women (96.87%) while mobile practitioners were mostly men (68.37%); 64.53% of customers were women. The percentage of practitioners who did not receive professional training was 93.92%. 29.7% of practitioners soaked the instruments in javel water for at least ten minutes; 75.71% knew that the use of certain tools was dangerous and 26.51% had side effects. 40.25% of customers knew that the used equipment may pose some risks and 30.35% were victims of accidents. The manicure and pedicure is done in hair salons by untrained hairdressers to the professional practice. The origin and composition of the products is not known. Not recommended products are used (foot soak shampoo, razor blade and scissors for feet scraping). The use of manicure and/or pedicure is sometimes necessary but that should not obscure the risks to which it exposes customers. Customers education and practitioners training seem necessary to minimize risks.

Le psoriasis est une dermatose inflammatoire erythemato-squameuse, d’evolution chronique. Ses aspects sociodemographiques et ses variantes cliniques sont peu connus en Afrique de l’ouest. Il s’est agit d’une etude retrospective et prospective menee du 1er janvier 2009 au 30 juin 2012. Tous les patients qui avaient un dossier exploitable etaient inclus. Nous avons recense 94 cas de psoriasis sur 14952 consultants, soit une prevalence hospitaliere de 0,62%. Mais 84 cas repondaient aux criteres d’inclusion. L’âge moyen des patients etait de 34,53 ans, le sex-ratio de 1,47. Les menageres, les eleves et les fonctionnaires etaient les plus representes. Le prurit etait retrouve dans 54,8% des cas. Les lesions elementaires cutanees etaient surtout erythemato-squameuses (79 cas). Celles ungueales etaient surtout a type de depression cupuliforme (8 cas). Le cuir chevelu, les coudes et les genoux etaient les zones bastions les plus touchees (respectivement 53,57%, 45,23%, et 40,47%). Le psoriasis etait vulgaire dans 30 cas et grave dans 7 cas. L’examen histopathologique etait realise chez 11 patients. Malgre certaines insuffisances de description qui ne nous ont pas permis de calculer le score de PASI, cette etude a atteint ses objectifs. Les particularites de cette serie etaient la predominance masculine, la prevalence elevee du prurit et l’atteinte elevee du cuir chevelu. Les formes graves de psoriasis doivent faire rechercher une association a l’infection a VIH. Une etude en population permettrait de determiner avec exactitude la prevalence du psoriasis au Burkina Faso. Pan African Medical Journal 2016; 23:110

Introduction Le pyoderma malin, ou Pyodermagangrenosum (PG) est une affection rare. Sa forme a localisation cephalique est caracterisee par une agressivite locoregionale et une evolution chronique recidivante. Nous rapportons un cas d’evolution chronique avec une prise en charge decevante chez un enfant. Observation Un enfant de 14 ans, sans antecedent pathologique particulier, etait hospitalise dans le service depuis 3 ans, pour un PG cephalique evoluant depuis 7 ans. Il s’agissait d’un placard ulcereux etendu a la quasi-totalite du cuir chevelu. La recherche des pathologies habituellement associees aux dermatoses neutro- philiques etait negative. Divers traitements locaux et generaux effectues durant ces 3 ans (antiseptiques, antibiotiques locaux, corticotherapie locale et generale, dapsone, clofazimine, colchicine, azathioprine) avaient entraine des periodes de stabilisations suivies de reactivations. Une epidermisation partielle etait observee lors des periodes de stabilisation tandis que des suppurations associees a des lesions pustuleuses et des pertes d’epidermisation etaient observees lors des periodes de reactivation. L’evolution apres la deuxieme annee d’hospitalisation etait marquee par une osteolyse transparietale objectivee a la tomodensitometrie crânio- cerebrale. Il etait egalement note un retard statural et une prise de poids. Au cours d’une periode de stabilisation, une greffe en pastille etait realisee sur la zone occipitale avec une epidermisation partielle. Puis avec l’aide des chirurgiens, 3 series de greffe en lambeaux etait realisees avec prise partielle des greffons suivis de suppuration. Ces greffes avaient permis une epidermisation de 30% de l’ulceration. Discussion La prise en charge du PG reste un challenge pour le praticien en Afrique subsaharienne. Cette affection se caracterise par une evolution chronique et une resistance aux traitements. La particularite de cette observation est d’abord l’etendue de la lesion, ensuite la complication a type d’osteolyse. La multiplicite des therapeutiques utilisees au long cours sans succes, de meme que la serie de greffes non concluante sont egalement une specificite de ce cas. Toutes ces particularites viennent rappeler la difficulte de la gestion de ce type de pathologie dans un pays a ressources limitees. En effet les regles d’asepsie rigoureuses necessaires etaient difficilement realisables. Les ruptures therapeutiques etaient egalement frequentes de meme que l’indisponibilite de certaines molecules. Conclusion Devant l’osteolyse, le risque de survenue d’une meningite est aussi une hantise. Que faire dans un pays a ressources limitees devant cette affection ?
