Data on prognostic factors among children with severe pneumonia are scarce in middle-income countries. We investigated for an adverse outcome admitted to the Hôpital d'Enfants de Rabat, Morocco World Health Organization-defined clinically (CSP).Children aged 2-59 months hospital and fulfilling CSP definition were recruited into this 13-month prospective study. A poor prognosis was defined as death, a need intensive care, or Respiratory Index of Severity Children (RISC) score ≥3. Multivariate...
Objectives: Scarce and limited epidemiological, clinical microbiological data are available regarding paediatric respiratory tract infections in the Kingdom of Morocco, a middle-income country northwestern Africa.The results hospital-based surveillance aiming at describing aetiology epidemiology distress among children <5 years age presented.

The objective of the study was to describe aetiology, epidemiology and clinical characteristics principal causes acute infectious diarrhoea requiring hospitalization among children under 5 years age in Rabat, Morocco. A prospective conducted from March 2011 2012, designed main pathogens causing hospitalized >2 months less than age. Among 122 included study, enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) rotavirus were aetiological detected. Twelve (9.8 %) referred an intensive care unit, while...
SUMMARY Acute respiratory infections remain the principal cause of morbidity and mortality in Moroccan children. Besides bacterial infections, syncytial virus (RSV) human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are prominent among other viruses due to their high prevalence association with severe clinical episodes. We aimed describe compare RSV- hMPV-associated cases WHO-defined pneumonia a paediatric population admitted Morocco's reference hospital. Children aged 2–59 months Hôpital d'Enfants de Rabat,...
Objectives The aim of the present research is to update data on seroprevalence rubella and identify associated risk factors among pregnant women in Rabat region Morocco order take immediate action monitor virus. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting study was conducted at Ibn Sina University Hospital referral healthcare centres Rabat. Participants total 502 (mean age 29.7±6.3 years, range 17–44 years) attending maternity department during 8 months were selected for serological testing....
RT-PCR is the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis, but lack of standardization assays, whose diagnostic performance may widely vary, complicates interpretation discrepancies that be encountered. Study design. We conducted a retrospective study over ten-month period at Central Laboratory Virology Ibn Sina University Hospital Rabat. included nasopharyngeal swabs, positive and negative SARS-CoV-2 on FilmArray BioFire® Respiratory Panel 2.1 Plus, which were subjected to our laboratory's...
Nasopharyngeal carriage studies provide insights into the local prevalence of circulating pneumococcal serotypes. These data are critical to vaccination monitoring, as they allow for prediction and assessment impact. Very little available on serotypes in Morocco. Here, we describe Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype distribution among 697 pediatric patients with ages ranging from 2 59 months who were admitted a Moroccan hospital severe pneumonia, well 195 healthy infants young children...
Respiratory viruses are the most involved pathogens in acute respiratory infections. During COVID-19 pandemic, new elements have been brought to this topic, especially at diagnostic and therapeutic level. The objective of work is describe epidemiology patients admitted Ibn Sina University Hospital Rabat during a period characterized by emergence spread SARS-CoV-2. We conducted retrospective study from January 1 December 31. included all treated for infection whom multiplex panel PCR was...
Scarce and limited epidemiological, clinical microbiological data are available regarding pediatric respiratory tract infections in the Kingdom of Morocco, a middle-income country Northwestern Africa. Data on antibiotic usage for such also scarce. A good understanding pre-admission intra-hospital antibiotics children with linked an adequate surveillance susceptibility from circulating pathogens could help policy makers improve their recommendations management infections. We hereby present...
The aim of the study was to assess frequency resistance fluoroquinolones in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs) Klebsiella spp isolated from urines consulting and hospitalized patients Rabat Specialities Hospital. A retrospective survey made over 3 years (2006-2008). Two hundred ant fifty three presented with confirmed urinary tractus infection (UTI). etiologic agent 28% (72/253) reported UTI. Among them, 86% pneumoniae 14% oxytoca. 33% third generation cephalosporins 35%. Thirteen...
Introduction: Several viruses are accused in the severe acute respiratory infections and their diagnosis profits from assets of multiplex PCR (polymerase chain reaction).The aim this study was to describe general epidemiology these hospitalized children adults compare diagnostic performances an uniplex PCR.Methodology: Our included 147 patients for IBN SINA University Hospital Center Rabat between October 2015 August 2016.The samples were analyzed by using FTD pathogens 21 plus PCR....
Isolation of bacteria involved in eye infections and their susceptibility pattern to various antibiotics vitro were studied. Different ocular samples obtained from 354 patients hospitalized ophthalmology unit. The inoculated directly onto appropriate culture media. Biochemical tests have been performed microorganisms identified according standard procedure. pathogens has studied as recommended by the CA-SFM; 129 isolated with a prevalence rate 36.4%. conjunctival swabs predominant 70.5%...
Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is a DNA virus whose main tropism erythroid precursors, it responsible for infections that can be life-threatening in fetuses and immunocompromised individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence Moroccan population. We conducted retrospective between March 2019 July 2022 at Central Laboratory Virology Ibn Sina University Hospital Rabat. All included samples were qualitatively tested parvovirus anti-VP2 IgG by ELISA on Chorus analyzer (Diesse...
Enterovirus can cause central nervous system (CNS) infections ranging from meningitis to severe encephalitis. The aims of our study were describe and develop the current epidemiological, biological, clinical aspects these as well enrich Moroccan data. This is a retrospective conducted January 2021 March 2023, which included all patients admitted hospitals Ibn Sina University Hospital Center in Rabat (Morocco) with suspicion CNS infection positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for enterovirus...
Nosocomial infections are acquired in hospitals or any other nursing center. The causes multiple: no respect of hygienic rules, delicated patients (children, old persons, immunodepression), microorganisms more and resistant to antibiotics, investications heavy. Theses have as consequences a longer expensive hospitalisation the increasing mortality rate. Urinary, respiratory surgery frequent. Prevention needs on priority rules: washing hands, weaning wolves, decontamination, cleaning,...
