An exhaustive study has been carried out in the rural development community (DRC) of Frilguiagbe, located at 115 km from Conakry in the Conakry-Kindia highway. It concerns a population of 23,442 inhabitants divided into 3,047 households. The survey was carried out at three levels:--community level;--health centres;--traditional healers. In the household survey made between 2002 and 2003, 175 snakebites cases were recorded. In health centres, only two (2) cases were recorded from 1993 to 2003. On the other hand, 80% (=140) of the cases registered in the households have consulted a traditional healer. On the whole, there were 9 deaths (5%). Such a result shows that the collect of information from the consultation registers is not appropriate to appraise the importance of envenomations in our country.
在弗里尔吉阿贝的农村发展社区(DRC)开展了一项详尽的研究,该社区位于科纳克里-金迪亚高速公路上,距科纳克里115公里。研究涉及23442名居民,分为3047户家庭。调查在三个层面进行:——社区层面;——健康中心;——传统治疗师。在2002年至2003年进行的家庭调查中,记录了175例蛇咬伤病例。在健康中心,1993年至2003年期间仅记录了两例病例。另一方面,在家庭中登记的病例中有80%(即140例)咨询过传统治疗师。总体而言,有9人死亡(5%)。这样的结果表明,从咨询记录中收集信息并不适合评估我国蛇毒中毒的重要性。
