In Niger, the infectious risk is of real concern in the field of the pathology of the adult, mainly caused by the major endemic diseases: Parasitic diseases such as malaria, bilharziasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis and recently visceral leishmaniasis, Bacterial diseases such as enterobacterial diseases, amibiasis, meningococcal diseases, tuberculosis, leprosy and treponematosis, Virus diseases such as arbovirus diseases and probably viral hepatitis. On the whole, the rate of occurrence and prevalence are not more significant than those in the neighbouring countries. On the other hand, diseases prevailing all over the world do not save the indigenous. Some recent hospital statistics demonstrate that the disease of the liver and the digestive system (28.8 pc), the respiratory diseases (16.49 pc), and the cardiovascular diseases (14.63 pc) are prevalent.
