First cigarette smoking experience among secondary-school students in Aden, Republic of Yemen.

The objectives of this study were first to estimate the prevalence of cigarette smoking among secondary-school students and then to identify and analyse the demographic, social and cultural risk factors associated with the first cigarette smoking experience. A sample comprising 1000 students was selected randomly. Results showed that 19.6% of the total sample smoked; 15.5% among females and 21.9% among males. Family and/or friends appeared to influence the first cigarette experience and thus prevention strategies should involve not only the students themselves but the home, school and social environments also.

[Calcinosis of the arterial ligament and tuberculous adenitis of the aortic window in children: computerized tomography].

The paper provides a retrospective analysis of scans of chest computed tomography (CT) in children who had different forms of intrathoracic or were tuberculin positive. The children had no cardiovascular diseases or clinical signs of Botallo's duct patency. CT was performed without contrast reinforcement. Arterial ligament calcification (ALC) was detected in 16 children, of them 9 had concurrently tuberculous adenopathy of several groups, as well as aortic window nodes being in 2. ALC was the only respiratory alteration in 7 children. The calcified aortic ligament was misinterpreted as the calcified lymph node of the aortic window.

Isolation of Mycobacterium bovis from human cases of cervical adenitis in Tanzania: a cause for concern?

SETTING: Pastoralist communities in the Northern and Southern zones of Tanzania. DESIGN: Observational study. OBJECTIVES: To determine the involvement of Mycobacterium bovis in tuberculosis cases presenting at tuberculosis (TB) clinics in rural areas in these zones. METHODS: A total of 149 tuberculosis cases identified on the bases of clinical manifestation were sampled. Appropriate specimens were cultured on two Löweinstein Jensen slants with respectively glycerol and pyruvate added. Forty-one isolates were cultured and subjected to biochemical typing. RESULTS: Overall, 31 (70.5%) of the mycobacterial isolates recovered from all forms of tuberculosis were identified as M. tuberculosis, seven (16.0%) were identified as M. bovis, and six (13.6%) were other mycobacterial species. There was a significantly higher isolation rate (P < 0.05) of M. bovis among strains recovered from extra-pulmonary (26.8%) than pulmonary tuberculosis samples (4.3%). CONCLUSION: Based on these findings, it is imperative that M. bovis be considered as a pathogen of concern to people living in rural areas of Tanzania. Further work is required to establish a zoonotic link between cattle and the people in these communities who rear them.

True epiphrenic diverticulum of esophagus secondary to tubercular adenitis.

Ephiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is rare and usually is a pulsion-type pseudodiverticulum that occurs in association with motility disorders of the esophagus. We report a 35-year-old man with tubercular lymphadenitis causing true traction type of epiphrenic diverticulum. Esophageal diverticulectomy and esophagomyotomy was done; he is doing well on antitubercular drugs.

Pilot studies on the occurrence of some infectious diseases in two different areas in south Yemen (Aden). Part I. Parasitology.

Two pilot studies on malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis and intestinal parasites were carried out in 104 children 6-15 years old from villages in the lowland and highland areas of South Yemen in November 1988. Some of the results presented are in the order lowland and highland. The occurrence of malaria parasites in blood smears was 6.7% and 3.8%. P. falciparum was detected only. The antimalarial IFAT antibodies were proved in 66.7% and 11.5% respectively. IFAT antibodies against leishmania were in 43.8% and 39.3% respectively of sera examined. Ova of S. haematobium diagnosed with the frequency 29.0% and 13.3% respectively. S. mansoni infection was found in 19.2% of examined children in highland only. From parasites found in stool specimens should be mentioned E. histolytica (42.3% and 36.8%), G. lamblia (34.6% and 35.1%). The other intestinal protozoa were less frequent. Further details of sex and age groups distribution are mentioned.

Pilot studies on the occurrence of some infectious diseases in two different areas in south Yemen (Aden) (part II. Microbiology).

This paper is the second part of the article dealing with intestinal bacteria. The findings are relatively poor in comparing with the frequency of intestinal protozoa. Among 83 stool specimens taken for bacteriological examination 14 isolations of different bacteria were proved. One S. muenchen was isolated from a 3 year old boy with fever, diarrhoea. Five cases of Alkalescens dispar 05 manit negative and 05 manit positive were identified. Two of these cases were without clinical symptoms. All were males aged 10-17 years. One isolation of E. coli EPEC 086 K6 H11 was in a 10 year-old boy with diarrhoea, four watery stools daily and cramps. Six cases of other E. coli were of different types, all with clinical symptoms. Of them three were males and three females at the age from 3-46 years. One case had a mixed infection of Citrobacter, E. coli and Klebsiella with diarrhoea, about 5 watery stools daily and abdominal pain. The frequency of intestinal bacteria in males was nearly three times higher than in females. The occurrence in age groups 10-20 was almost equal 20.0-22.2%, in 0-4 it was 42.9% and surprisingly low in 5-9 years old--3.4% only.
