Abstract:
We report 1,302 cases of patients observed in the Department of Infectious Diseases in 15 French hospitals: 1,036 in a retrospective study in 1991; 266 in a prospective study in 1992. 48% of patients suffered from malaria, diarrhoea or hepatitis; 50% were admitted in the hospital. We have numbered 191 cases of non tropical diseases, 14 cases of HIV seropositivity and 14 cases of adverse events due to antimalarial chemoprophylaxis.
