Résumé

Une étude prospective a été menée dans le district sanitaire de Saint-Louis (Sénégal) en 2012 pour évaluer la durée de la période allant de la première consultation d’un patient tuberculeux jusqu‘au démarrage du traitement (Health system delay). Ce délai était en moyenne de 8,1 jours et se situe parmi les délais les plus courts relevés dans la littérature. Cette brièveté permet de réduire d’autant les risques d’infections lies au retard de soin. C’est un des axes de travail du Programme national de lutte contre les infections nosocomiales au Sénégal (PRONALIN), au même titre que la mise en place des procédures environnementales et l’utilisation des masques et équipements de protection respiratoire.

Abstract

Sixty patients with positive acid fast bacilli sputum smears between were enrolled consecutively between March and August 2012 in the Saint-Louis (Senegal) health district to determine the Health System Delay in response to tuberculosis. The length of time between the first consultation of a TB patient and the start of treatment was, on average, 8.1 days and is among the shortest in the literature. This promptness reduces the risk of infection related to delayed care. This is one of the focuses of the National Programme of Fight against nosocomial infections in Senegal (PRONALIN), as well as the implementation of environmental procedures and the use of masks and respiratory protection equipment.
