The survey results revealed that 49 medicinal plants species belonging to 27 families were identified in the fight against malaria. The Cesalpiniaceae family is the most exploited for treatment of malaria. The locals use far more Azadirachta indica, Mangifera indica, Psidium guajava, Cassia occidentalis, Khaya senegalensis, Tamarindus indica, Citrus limonum, Eucalyptus sp., Carica papaya and Cymbopogon citratus for the traditional treatment of malaria. The leaves and barks are the mostly used parts. The decoction is the method of preparation most commonly practiced.

L'Unité 0 correspond aux déblais des fouilles anciennes; l'Unité 1 à un éboulis gravitaire contenant les restes d'une occupation de la cavité par l'Hyène et de rares pièces aurignaciennes; l'Unité 2 est constituée de dépôts de ruissellement assistés par ...

We performed a prospective transversal survey from 18th March 2014 to 30thOctober 2014, on patients infected with HIV followed at the Bertoua day hospital with the general objective to evaluate the impact of the viral coinfection (HIV-Hepatitis Virus) on the incidence of hepatotoxicity cases caused by the HAART. We included in our survey, all HIV positive patients, eligible to the antiretroviral treatment, registered in our survey place for the follow-up of this treatment and having accepted to participate in the survey. We excluded in our survey, all patients who were not registered at the Bertoua day hospital for the follow-up of the antiretroviral treatment, all patients presenting a hepatic affection other that the infection with hepatitis virus, all patients having a bad observance of the antiretroviral treatment. We made the screening of the hepatitis B and C infections with the help of two tests: a fast screening test with the small strips to hepatitis B and C (DIASPOT type) and a confirmation test with the fast diagnosis cassettes (BIOLINE type). We analyzed the socio-demographic parameters (Age and Sex), Biological parameters (HIV, HCV, HBV, Transaminases) and the therapeutic parameters (therapeutic protocol). Two hundred and sixty one (261) HIV positive patients have been included in our survey, among which we counted 197 women and 64 men with a sex ratio of 0.32 in favor of women. We noted the presence of 53 coinfection cases with HIV-HBV (20.3%) and 30 coinfection cases with HIV-HCV (11.5%), that is a total of 83 coinfection cases (31.8%). The prevalence’s of hepatotoxicity cases among the coinfected and monoinfected patients were 85.54% and 5.05% respectively and their incidence rates were also of 22.6% and 6.1% respectively. The time limit of the hepatotoxicity appearance among our patients, varied from 4 to 6 months.
