Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is endemic in Africa, although studies of this infection are rare Congo. We evaluated seroprevalence and HHV-8 diversity among people living with HIV. included 353 patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy. Antibodies against latency-associated nuclear antigen were detected by indirect immunofluorescence. In positive patients, we performed quantification blood saliva real-time PCR typing Sanger sequencing K1 open reading frame. was 19%, being male...
In sub-Saharan Africa, the Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is endemic but with disparities between regions and population studied. Although virus remains mostly latent, there some evidence that blood transfusion may represents one of transmission way for this virus. Here, we evaluated HHV-8 seroprevalence among donors in Mali. This cross-sectional study recruited from Blood Transfusion Center at Gabriel Touré Hospital, Bamako. Serum was used detection latent immunoglobulin G directed against...
Introduction: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with variety of morphological, molecular, treatment response and clinical outcome characteristics. The objective this work was to assess the epidemiological, histological, immunohistochemical molecular subtypes breast in women Republic Congo. Material Methods: We carried out cross-sectional descriptive study which took place from January 1, 2014 December 31, 2020. focused on 150 cases patients diagnosed at University Hospital Brazzaville...
Introduction Virological failure is one of the major causes treatment failure, and better management HIV infection requires understanding controlling factors that contribute to this phenomenon. The main objective was characterize patients active file Brazzaville Outpatient Treatment Center in virological order identify predictive lead failure. Methods This a cross-sectional study conducted between June December 2020. Patients enrolled were HIV-1 infected from receiving potent combination...
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is rarely studied in Congo, despite its prevalence Africa. Among healthy individuals, HHV-8 does not always lead to a life-threatening infection; however, immunocompromised it could more severe disease. The distribution of genotypes varies depending on ethnicity and geographic region.

Introduction: HIV-1, an infectious agent with the greatest sequence diversity, including higher recombination rates. The objective of this study is to assess genetic diversity HIV-1 in FSWs Congo. Methods: A total 39 plasma samples from ART-naive HIV-1-seropositive were collected urban and semi-urban areas Republic viral loads determined by RT-PCR according manufacturer’s instructions Abbott® m2000 Real-Time System. Complementary DNA synthesis PCR amplification HIV reverse transcriptase gene...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is the causative agent of (CCHF), a highly contagious and potentially fatal emerging disease. We assessed CCHFV seroprevalence by conducting serological survey two cohorts from Brazzaville, Congo Bamako, Mali. retrospectively screened 581 sera samples, including 352 monitoring centers for people living with HIV (PLWH) in Brazzaville 229 provided Blood Transfusion Center at Gabriel Touré Hospital Bamako. An ELISA kit (ID Screen® CCHF Double...

We compared 2 human papillomavirus (HPV) assays to detect the 14 high-risk HPV (hrHPV) genotypes in self-collected anal samples. found a good agreement and similar performance HPV-16, HPV-18, 12 other hrHPV genotypes. The global was not significantly different between assays.
