Abstract:

Located in the center-west of Gabon, the city of Lambaréné is frequently affected by floods which cause material, economic and health damage. This scientific contribution presents the preliminary results of a larger study on the risks of flooding in the Ogooué basin in Lambaréné. The analysis of the flows (1959-1989), water levels (2000-2010) and rainfall common to both time periods shows that the most favorable period for floods corresponds, among others, to the months of October and November that record abundant precipitation, at the origin of the main hydrological peaks of November-December. In general, there is an evolution in phase between the pluviometric positive anomalies, flows and water heights likely to cause overflows of the waters of the Ogooué. Key words: Gabon, rainfall, water level, variability

Abstract:

Background In Africa, information on dengue is limited to outbreak reports and focused on some countries with continuing transmission in West and East Africa. To estimate the proportion of dengue-positive cases among febrile patients and identify clinical indicators of dengue cases, we conducted passive facility-based fever surveillance in a catchment area population of 70,000 residents of Lambaréné and its surroundings in Gabon. Methods Non-malarial febrile patients with current fever or history of fever (≤7 days) between 1 and 55 years of age, were enrolled at Albert Schweitzer Hospital (ASH). Acute (visit 1, day of enrollment) and convalescent blood samples were collected between 10 and 21 days after enrollment. Acute/convalescent samples were tested with IgM/IgG ELISA, and a selected subset of acute samples with RT-PCR. Results Among 682 non-malarial febrile patients enrolled, 119 (17.4%) were identified as dengue-positive (94 dengue-confirmed and 25 dengue-probable cases). Of these dengue-positive cases, 14 were confirmed with PCR, and based on serotyping, two infections were identified to be DENV-2 and two were DENV-3. The majority of our enrolled patients were <25 years of age and close to 80% of our dengue-positive cases were <15 years of age. In adjusted analyses, retro-orbital pain and abdominal pain were 2.7 and 1.6 times more frequently found among dengue-positive cases, compared to non-dengue cases. Conclusion Lambaréné is not considered dengue-endemic. However, one in six non-malarial febrile episodes was found to be dengue-positive in the study period. Dengue should be considered more frequently in clinicians’ diagnosis among non-malarial febrile patients in Lambaréné. Given the lack of data on dengue in Gabon, additional prospective and longitudinal studies would help to further define the burden and patterns of dengue for improved case detection.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting the blood cell. As a chronic disease, schistosomiasis particularly impacts on the human host’s haematological profile. We assessed here the impact of urogenital schistosomiasis on the full blood counts (FBC) as proxy diagnostic tool for schistosomiasis. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among school children living in Lambaréné, Gabon. Schistosomiasis status was determined using urine filtration technique. EDTA blood samples were analysed using a Pentra ABX 60® analyzer. Results Compared to their infection-free counterparts, school children infected with Schistosoma haematobium displayed an altered FBC profile, with changes in all three blood cell lines. Adjusted for praziquantel intake, soil-transmitted helminthic infections and Plasmodium falciparum infection status, schistosomiasis was independently associated with a decreasing trend of mean haemoglobin (β = − 0.20 g/dL, p-value = 0.08) and hematocrit (β = − 0.61%, p-value = 0.06) levels, a lower mean MCV (β = − 1.50µm3, p-value = 0.02) and MCH (β = − 0.54 pg, p-value = 0.04), and higher platelet (β = 28.2 103/mm3, p-value = 0.002) and leukocyte (β = 1.13 103/mm3, p-value = 0.0003) counts, respectively. Conclusions Schistosomiasis is associated with a characteristic FBC profile of schoolchildren living in Lambaréné, indicating the necessity to consider schistosomiasis as a single cause of disease, or a co-morbidity, when interpreting FBC in endemic areas.

Abstract:

BackgroundThe West Africa Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak between 2015 and 2016 accelerated the need for safe and effective vaccines. Among candidate vaccines in clinical development, the recombinant Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectored with the Ebola virus (EBOV) glycoprotein (rVSV-ZEBOV-GP) vaccine showed acceptable safety and promising immunogenicity results across diverse settings.Baseline screening data from the phase I trial of this vaccine in Lambaréné, Gabon, established that prior to vaccination about 21% (33/155) and 8% (12/155) of adults had naturally acquired antibodies to infectious ZEBOV particle and ZEBOV-GP, respectively. In participants with prior ZEBOV(-GP) antibodies, post-vaccination antibodies titres were significantly higher 56 days following vaccination with doses of 3×103, 3×104, and 3×106 PFU compared to those without.Our study seeks to investigate rVSV vector non-specific boosting of naturally acquired antibodies to other viral infections (dengue virus 1–4, and yellow fever virus).MethodsWe measured antibodies titres to Dengue (serotypes 1–4) and yellow fever infection at baseline, 28 and 56 days after injection in a total of 155 serum samples from vaccinees receiving various doses of rVSV-ZEBOV-GP using ELISA technique.ResultsPreliminary results were presented at the meeting.ConclusionOur results confirm rVSV vector non-specific replication on non ZEBOV-GP circulating antibodies in Lambaréné vaccinees and potential boosting action on naturally acquired dengue virus (serotypes 1–4) and yellow fever virus antibodies.

Abstract:

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding from birth to six months of age has an unparalleled benefit on a child's growth and development. This survey aimed to assess the practice of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in Libreville and Lambaréné. Method: This is a prospective study, including mother-child pairs of infants taken to vaccination centers in Libreville (urban area) and Lambaréné (semi-rural area). The data collected included sociodemographic aspects of families, the children's characteristics, and the duration of EBF in months. Result: We included 552 mother-child pairs, 58% of whom were recruited (n = 320) in Libreville. The average age of mothers was 26.5 ± 6.4 years, while fathers were 33.3 ± 7.8 years. The mean age of children was 4.2 ± 3.1 months. Male participants were accounted for 52.2% (n = 288), while females 47.8% (n = 264). The mean duration of exclusive breastfeeding in the whole was 0.9 months. Six-month EBF was generally performed at 9.2% (n = 51, 95% CI = 7.1%-11.9%). The factors influencing the EBF were father’s level of education (all classes combined) (p = 0.025), marital status (p = 0.011), and residential area (OR = 3.40, p <0.001) Conclusion: The duration of exclusive breastfeeding in the two studied is lower than the WHO recommendations. The associated factors found are areas of work to be explored to encourage this important practice for our infants.

Abstract:

AbstractDoctor of Philosophy, Medicine and Divinity, Nobel laureate (1953), Albert Schweitzer embodied an indisputable ethical and intellectual authority that was universally admitted. However, in his book,Indian Thought and its Development(1936), the so-called “good doctor” engaged in an incredible eulogy of Western superiority at the expense of Indian thought. The pieces of evidence he used to support this argument can now be compared to the thoroughly ambiguous attitude he displayed toward the Africans among whom he had lived in Lambaréné.
