Objective: To compare the epidemiological, the clinical and the paraclinical profile of osteoarticular infections in HIV-positive patients and in HIV-negative patients. Patients and Methods: patients with Osteoarticular infections recognized on the basis of radioclinical and epidemiological arguments were included in this study. The comparison that was based on the existence or was not of HIV infection focused on various clinical and biological components. Of these 15,800 rheumatic patients admitted in 18 years, 461 have suffered from Osteoarticular infection (2.9%). The 461 patient objects of this study were divided into 235 cases of infectious arthritis including 38 cases of co-infection with HIV and 225 cases of infectious spondylodiscitis including 21 cases of HIV co-infection. Results: There were 246 women (53.4%) and 215 men (46.4%) with a sex ratio of 1.1. The mean age was 37.7 ± 13.6 years. The data comparison of HIV-negative patients and HIV-positive patients had not shown statistically significant difference in the infectious spondylodiscitis group and in the group of infectious arthritis patients. Only fever was statistically significant in both groups and weight loss in the group of infectious arthritis (p < 0.001). Conclusion: HIV seems not to particularly influence the semiological profile of Osteoarticular infections in Lomé.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
