Etiological and Radiological Profile of Acute Lower Respiratory Infections during the Pre-COVID Period in the Paediatric Ward of the Teaching Hospital of Mali and in the Community Health Centre of Yirimadio in Bamako
Introduction:Every year, nearly 4 million people pass away from acute respiratory infections.
98% of such deaths are due to lower respiratory tract infections. Even though studies
have been carried on lower respiratory infections x-ray aspects in Mali, very few
studies have been done to reveal bacteriological and virological evidence of this
disease. Materials and methods: It is about a descriptive prospective study
carried out from January to December 2018 having involved patients of all ages,
coming for medical consultation at the Yirimadio Community-based health center as
well as children from 6 months to 15 years old coming at the pediatric department of UHC H？pital du Mali for
a lower respiratory infection. They had all undergone chest X-ray and a PCR. The
purpose: of this work is to study etiological and x-ray aspects of acute lower respiratory infections at the Yirimadio
Community-based Health Center and at the UHC pediatric department of H？pital du
Mali. Findings: From January to December 2018, we recorded a frequency of 1.19%.
The age group 0-5 years was the most represented
(64.5%) with a sex ratio of 0.97 for women. Cough was the most common clinical sign
(98.7%) followed by fever (58.9%). Standard frontal chest X-ray was pathological
in 70% of our patients. It was bronchitis in 75.4% of cases, pneumonia (13.5%),
and bronchopneumonia (12.3%). PCR positive was
in 83.9% of patients. It revealed a co-infection
