Surgical exploration and repair of the albuginea breach as soon as possible are the standard treatment. However, in our African context, early diagnosis and management are negatively influenced by the delay in consultation due to modesty. Our objective was to describe the clinical and therapeutic aspects of the fracture of the penis seen late in the African context and to compare it with the literature review. Presentation of the case: Our aim was to report our experience in the management of late-onset fracture of the penis, after more than 48 hours of evolution, by reporting the observation of a 54-year-old patient, who had a false coitus, treated in the urology department of the Nianankoro Fomba Hospital. The physical examination revealed a deformation of the penis following the formation of a large hematoma with a characteristic eggplant appearance. Therapeutically, a suture of the albuginea was performed with simple follow-up. Conclusion: This case study shows a delay in the management of this emergency due to the reluctance of the patient to be consulted as soon as possible for reasons of modesty. A delayed emergency surgical management was the only therapeutic alternative and the coronal incision with degloving was the only way to approach the voluminous hematoma related to the delay in management.展开更多

Autoimmune diseases can develop in people living with HIV, most in a context of good immunological control (vasculitis, anti-phospholipid syndrome). Since the advent of antiretroviral therapy, an increasing number of autoimmune connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and syndromes of Sj?gren and scleroderma have been reported. Purpose: To describe this association’s not very common scleroderma and HIV infection. Observation: We report the case of a 56-year-old lady admitted into the service for functional impotence that would have been evolving for a week. Prior to her hospitalization, she presented edemas of the lower limbs associated with anesthesia of the lower limbs for 5 months. The painting is accompanied by a productive cough and an intermittent fever. At the physical examination a weight loss (BMI = 13.74 Kg/m2), fever (38.7°C): Oral candidiasis, lower lip ulceration, perlicking, undernutrition folds, sclerodactyly and homogeneous hepatomegaly was noted. The diagnosis of immunosuppression to HIV Stage 3 with TB co-morbidity and positive hepatitis B Serology was retained while diffuse Scleroderma was selected from the ACR/EULAR criteria of 2012 with a score of 10 (sclerodactyly = 4 point;Raynaud’s phenomenon = 3 point and Ac Anti Scl 70 positive = 3 point). Conclusion: These associations of chronic pathology must be described to improve the future treatment of our patients.展开更多
