Abstract

Objective. Determine the prevalence of follow-up stops at women in order to stay at the CHU of Brazzaville and identify the associated factors. Patients and method. Transversal study, with a descriptive and analytical view of spatients immunodepressed by the VIH, having stopped the follow-up for at least one month in the Brazzaville CHU Infectious Diseases Service during the January 2019 period in June 2021. Results: A total of 110 patients were admitted (25.9%) with an average age of 33.2 ± 9.1 years, single women (51.8%), students (n = 29; 26.4%), Nullipares (n = 82; 29.1%), having a maternity leave ((n = 41; 37.8%). They had several sexual partners (n = 43; 39.1%) and were infected by VIH1 (98, 2%). The prolonged fever (n = 42; 38.2%) and chronic diarrhea (n = 22; 20%) were the main reasons for consultation. They were classified OMS 3 (n = 54; 49.1 %) and had as opportunistic infections tuberculosis (n = 41; 37.3%) and toxoplasmosis (n = 25; 22.7%). The CD4 was <200 / mm3 (n = 52; 53.6%) and the VIH was discovery in hospitalization (n = 59; 53.6%). The TARV was made of TDF + FTC + EFV (n = 51; 46.4%) and DTG + 3TC + TDF (n = 7; 6.4%). Secondary effects were cauchemars (n = 66; 60%), diarrhea (55, 43,6) and factors associated with treatment arrest were distance dispensation ARV domicile> 5 km (p = 0.04), the stage of the OMS3 (p = 0.02), the troubles of sommeil (p = 0, 001). Conclusion: Prevalence of follow-up stops among women in the process of proceeding with antiretroviral treatment is relatively high and this, in line with several factors in particular, the toxicity of antiretroviral molecules, the elimination of the drug dispensing site and also the advanced immunosuppression with its correlation of opportunistic infections in particular tuberculosis.
