Abstract

International audience; Since 2005, an outbreak of human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Ghardaïa, south Algeria, was studied and one output of these investigations was the identification of two Leishmania species, Leishmania major and Leishmania killicki, as the CL causative agents. In the present study, we were curious to focus on sand fly fauna present in this area and detection of Leishmania-positive sand fly females. Sand flies (3717) were collected during two seasons using sticky papers and CDC light traps in urban, rural and sylvatic sites. Twelve Phlebotomus species were identified. Phlebotomus papatasi was dominant in the urban site while Phlebotomus sergenti and Phlebotomus riouxi/chabaudi were dominant in the sylvatic site. Out of 74 P. sergenti females captured by CDC light traps in the sylvatic site populated by Ghardaïas' Gundi (Massoutiera mzabi), three ones were hosting Leishmania promastigotes. PCR-RFLP and sequencing of seven single-copy coding DNA sequences identified the promastigotes as L. killicki. Furthermore, laboratory experiments revealed that L. killicki isolate sampled from a CL patient inhabiting the studied region develop well in P. sergenti females. Our findings strongly suggest that the human cutaneous leishmaniases caused by L. killicki is a zoonotic disease with P. sergenti sand flies acting as hosts and vectors and gundi rodents as reservoirs.

Abstract

Aim: To assess the quality of long-term anticoagulation therapy with antivitamin-K in patients with atrial fibrillation by measuring the TTR and to determine the factors associated with a good TTR., Patients and Methods: This is an observational study conducted over a period of three years (from January 2013 until December 2015) in the outpatient clinic of cardiology of Farhat Hached hospital of Sousse, Tunisia. Pre-established individual plugs were used for data collection. The data analysis was performed using the SPSS Software, version 20., Results: Overall, 200 patients were eligible. Half of the patients did not know the risks of AVK and 29.1% were unaware of their interest. The average TTR was 57.3±18.2%. Good control of anticoagulation was obtained in 24.5% of patients. Those with a≥70% were more autonomous, observant, of urban origin, living in Sousse and Kairouan, with good knowledge about AVK and having a small left atrium. The factors associated negatively with TTR were hypertension, diabetes, old AF, hematological diseases, high number of medications taken daily and the presence of mitral insufficiency, mitral valve replacement, a tricuspid insufficiency or a tricuspid plasty., Conclusion: The quality of AVK anticoagulation in AF patients is insufficient. Improving this indicator would reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with AVK treatment., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
