| haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine introduction in mali: impact on disease burden and serologic correlate of protection. | in bamako, mali, where surveillance revealed a high incidence of haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) invasive disease, hib conjugate vaccine was introduced into the expanded program on immunization and the impact assessed. annual confirmed hib hospitalizations for infants 0-11 months of age fell from 175/10(5) to 44/10(5) (p < 0.001); among infants 6-7 months of age hib hospitalizations fell from 377/10(5) to 69/10(5), (82% decrease, p < 0.001). invasive streptococcus pneumoniae hospitalizations ... | 2009 | 19478272 |
| [haemophilus influenzae b among bacterial meningitis in bamako (2002-2004)]. | in mali little study exist on the meningitis with haemophilus influenzae b (hib). this weak data availability on hib meningitis, didn't permit to introduce the immunization against this pathology in the expanded program immunization (epi) of mali. the present survey aims to improve the availability of the data on hib meningitis and to advocate for the introduction of immunization against hib in epi in mali. the survey consisted to the exploitation of spinal fluid examination data for the suspect ... | 2008 | 19434968 |

| [bacteriological aspects of purulent meningitis in bamako district. apropos of 1,541 bacterial strains collected from 1979 to 1991]. | this study is about bacteriological aspects of purulent meningitis in bamako area upon 1,541 strains collected from 1979 to 1991. it showed that n. meningitidis, s. pneumoniae and h. influenzae b are responsible. in general, n. meningitidis is the most frequent, but this depends on years and months. since 1988, n. meningitidis serogroup c has supplanted serogroup a. n. meningitidis is predominant between 7 to 30 years. s. pneumoniae between 1-28 days and 31 to 68 years, h. influenzae between 1 m ... | 1993 | 8353475 |
| modeling the potential for vaccination to diminish the burden of invasive non-typhoidal salmonella disease in young children in mali, west africa. | in sub-saharan africa, systematic surveillance of young children with suspected invasive bacterial disease (e.g., septicemia, meningitis) has revealed non-typhoidal salmonella (nts) to be a major pathogen exhibiting high case fatality (~20%). where infant vaccination against haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) and streptococcus pneumoniae has been introduced to prevent invasive disease caused by these pathogens, as in bamako, mali, their burden has decreased markedly. in parallel, nts has become ... | 2017 | 28182657 |
