Lignes directrices unifiées sur le suivi des patients infectés par le VIH et la Surveillance des Cas selon une Approche Centrée sur la Personne.Cameroun.2017
En 2015, l'OMS a publié des lignes directrices unifiées sur les informations stratégiques relatives à l’infection à VIH dans le secteur de la santé, et de nouveaux indicateurs couvrant l’ensemble de la cascade de service de lutte contre le VIH, à savoir la prévention, le dépistage, le traitement et les soins (1). Ces lignes directrices prônent une approche centrée sur la personne des informations stratégiques sur le VIH, ce qui implique de cesser de collecter des données agrégées dans les services (par exemple, le nombre de tests de dépistage du VIH administrés) pour s’intéresser au patient qui reçoit une cascade…
Mémoire sur la Détection d'une maladie occulaire.KEYCE.Cameroun.2023
At the heart of the current digital and medical evolution, the early detection of eye diseases holds crucial significance in preserving visual health. This study aligns with this perspective by proposing the design of an innovative application, built upon advances in artificial intelligence based on deep learning. Our objective is to merge medical expertise with AI capabilities to craft an advanced and efficient diagnostic tool.Through thorough research, we compiled a comprehensive database encompassing a variety of ocular images, representing a wide spectrum of eye conditions. Leveraging this dataset, we trained a deep learning model across various architectures, enabling the system…
Mémoire sur la Détection de l'hypertension Arterielle.KEYCE.Cameroun.2024
In the current context of digital and medical revolution, this study aims to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to improve early detection and monitoring of hypertension (HTA) in Cameroon. Carried out at the Directorate of Disease Control, Epidemics and Pandemics (DLCMEP) of the Ministry of Public Health, the project aims to design an intelligent chatbot using the advances of deep learning and machine learning. The objective is to combine local medical expertise with the capabilities of AI to develop an advanced and effective diagnostic and monitoring tool.The results obtained during the testing and validation phases are promising, showing a significant improvement…
Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) among Health Care Workers in Three Health Facilities of Yaoundé, Center Region of Cameroon.2021
Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) first appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and has subsequently become a worldwide pandemic. During the pandemic, health care workers (HCWs) were very exposed to COVID-19 infected patients. The aim of this study was to determine seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) among HCWs in three health facilities of Yaounde. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 368 HCWs was conducted from January 18th to February 13th, 2021, in three health facilities located in city of Yaounde. Data of study participants were collected by face-to-face interviews using standard questionnaire.…
Diagnostic performance evaluation of the Abbott Bioline™ HIV-Syphilis Duo rapid test at the national public health laboratory, Yaounde-Cameroon.2026
Background The Bioline™ HIV/Syphilis Duo rapid diagnostic test (RDT) is the first World Health Organization (WHO) prequalified Duo RDT for the simultaneous detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Treponema pallidum antibodies in human blood samples. Several studies have shown the satisfactory diagnostic performance of this test among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. However, the diagnostic performance of this Duo test is scarce in the general population in Cameroon. The present study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the Abbot Bioline™ HIV/Syphilis Duo RDT in Cameroon. Methods A laboratory based cross-sectional and comparative study was conducted from January,…
Diagnostic performance of the Hightop Rapid Diagnostic Test for the detection of anti-Treponema pallidum antibodies in Cameroon: a laboratory-based crosssectional and comparative study.2025.Pdf
Objective The study was conducted to assess the diagnostic performance of the Hightop Syphilis Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) in comparison with the ELISA test used as a reference method. Design A laboratory-based cross-sectional and comparative study was conducted to assess the diagnostic performance of the Hightop Syphilis RDT. Setting Blood samples obtained from adult participants in eight health facilities were analysed at the National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL), Ministry of Public Health, Yaounde, Cameroon. Participants From 29 April to 25 August 2023, 583 adult participants of both sexes (aged ≥21 years), including both syphilis positive and syphilis negative, were recruited…
Sociodemographic and obstetric determinants of HIV infection among pregnant women in Cameroon: a contribution toward the elimination of vertical transmission in low- and middle- income countries.Cameroun.2016
Background: The risk of HIV transmission during pregnancy remains a concern in Cameroon. Recent estimates suggest a national HIV prevalence of approximately 4.5%, increasing the likelihood of vertical transmission. Objective: To estimate HIV seroprevalence and identify sociodemographic and obstetric determinants of HIV infection among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Cameroon. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2022 to June 2023 among pregnant women aged 15 years and above in 324 health facilities across eight regions. Consecutive voluntary sampling was used until the site-specific sample size was reached. Facilities were purposively selected based on monthly ANC attendance >30.…
Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Surveillance Survey (TAS-3).Cameroon2026
Background: The elimination of lymphatic filariasis remains a priority for the Cameroonian government and its partners. Monitoring the interruption of transmission in communities where this disease is endemic remains ongoing through surveys called TAS (Transmission Assessment Survey). The present study aimed to detect the resurgence of transmission of lymphatic filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti more than 5 years after the cessation of mass treatment, in 47 Health Districts grouped into 21 evaluation units (EU) in 06 regions of the Cameroon (Adamaoua, Center, East, Far North, North West and South West). Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study with prospective data…
