Résumé

L'état septique résultant d'une infection apicale, d'une infection parodontale, d'un accident d'éruption dentaire ou post-extractionnel peut se propager et conduire à des complications. Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective allant de 1995 à 1998 à propos de 161 cas, admis à l'hôpital central de Yaoundé, qui a pour but d'établir une distribution selon le sexe, l'âge, la profession, le stade infectieux, les causes de consultation tardive, ainsi que le rapport stade infectieux, étiologie, âge et profession. Il en résulte que :

  • les tranches d'âges les plus atteintes sont celles de 10-19 ans (25,46 %) et 20-29 ans (30,43 %),
  • c'est au stade tardif, d'abcès (54,03 %) et de phlegmon (32,91 %) que le patient consulte et cela est dû aux mauvaises conditions socio-économiques (55,90 %),
  • les abcès se rencontrent chez les élèves âgés de 10 à 19 ans et 0 à 9 ans alors que les phlegmons s'observent chez les élèves et étudiants entre 20 et 29 ans.

C'est ainsi que nous préconisons :

  • une meilleure prévention dans le milieu scolaire et universitaire des maladies infectieuses bucco-dentaires,
  • une sensibilisation des parents, des éducateurs sur l'intérêt économique des traitements précoces de ces infections.

Abstract
Clinical study of infectious complications of dental and peridental origins observed at the central hospital of Yaounde (a study of 161 cases)

The septic condition resulting from an apical infection, a periodontal infection, an accident of dental eruption or postextraction can be disseminated and can lead to complications. A retrospective study of 161 cases admitted at the Central Hospital of Yaounde from 1995 to 1998 was done with the aim of establishing a distribution according to sex, age, profession, infectious stage and causes of late consultation as well as the relation between the infectious stage, aetiology, age and profession. It was observed that :

  • the age group mostly affected were : 10-19 years (25,46%) and 20-29 years (30,43%),
  • it was at the late stage of abscess (54,03%) and of phlegmon (32,91%) that the patients came for consultation and this was primarily due to poor socio-economic conditions (55,90%),
  • abscess was formed mostly among the students of 10-19 years and 0-9 years while phlegmon was observed mostly among the students between 20-29 years.

It was for these reasons that we suggest :

  • a better prevention of infectious dental diseases in schools and universities,
  • a sensibilisation of parents and educators on the economic interest of early treatment of these infections.
