    Title translation Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp: a retrospective study of 7 cases confirming the efficacy of oral isotretinoin.
    Abstract Background: Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a rare and long-standing disease and its aetiopathogenesis remains unclear. Various therapeutic alternatives exist. We attempted to assess the efficacy of oral isotretinoin in a series of patients.
    Patients and methods: Seven cases of DCS followed and treated by one of the authors at the Sabouraud Centre in the Saint-Louis Hospital between 2007 and 2013 were retrospectively studied and the efficacy of oral isotretinoin was evaluated.
    Results: The seven patients included were males aged between 22 and 39 years, with alopecic nodules on the occiput (two cases) or the top of the vertex (five cases). Most patients were given oral isotretinoin at a dosage of 0.75mg/kg/day for at least nine months. The outcome was satisfactory with complete healing of the lesions and good regrowth in all cases. Follow-up after recovery lasted between 16 and 42 months.
    Conclusion: Based on published studies and the results of the present study, oral isotretinoin at a dose of 0.75mg/kg/day may be proposed as first-line treatment for DCS.

    Title translation Ainhum and "African acral keratoderma": three cases.
    Abstract Background: Ainhum, or spontaneous dactylitis, involves the formation of a gradual constriction in the digital-plantar fold of the fifth toe that leads, after several years, to autoamputation of the digit. This condition is classically distinguished from "true" ainhum, of unknown aetiology and affecting only subjects of African origin, from "pseudo-ainhum", resulting from different causes such as inflammatory constriction or constriction by a foreign body, and finally from ainhumoid palmoplantar keratoderma, which is of genetic origin and occurs for instance in Vohwinkel syndrome. Herein, we report three cases of ainhum in women of sub-Saharan African origin; in addition, all three subjects were also presenting various forms of hyperkeratosis of the hands and feet known to primarily affect subjects of African origin.
    Patients and methods: The three patients, aged 30, 48 and 44 years, were respectively from Mali, Guinea and Senegal. They had consulted a dermatologist for violent pain in the fifth toe, which frequently prevented sleep and was inexplicable despite several consultations, and even in one case in spite of surgical investigation. Once the diagnosis had been made, relief was promptly provided for all three patients through Z-plasty to remove the circular constriction around the toe in question. In addition to ainhum, the first patient was also presenting diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma, together with an aspect of acrokeratoelastoidosis on the edges of her hands and feet, and knuckle pads, while the second was presenting diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and an aspect of marginal acrokeratoelastoidosis, and the third was presenting small knuckle pads.
    Discussion: A recent study has confirmed the high incidence of several forms of palmoplantar keratoderma of African origin, as well as frequent association of these different varieties with one another. These consist of diffuse keratoderma having a relatively non-specific aspect, keratoderma punctata of the palmar creases, marginal keratoderma known also as focal acral hyperkeratosis, and acrokeratoelastoidosis, despite the absence of histological evidence, and finally, inverted keratoderma, i.e. affecting the dorsal aspects of the extremities, such as knuckle pads. In the three cases presented here, ainhum was associated with these different forms of acral keratoderma seen chiefly in subjects of African origin.
    Conclusion: So-called "true" ainhum may be included in a broader group of African acral keratoderma, further reinforcing the unity of this group. Genetic studies are required to enable validation and refinement of these clinical findings.

    Title translation Profile of immune and allergic dermatoses among children at the outpatient dermatology clinic in Cotonou (Benin).
    Abstract Objective: The aim of this work was to study the profile of immune and allergic dermatoses (IAD) in children consulting at the outpatient dermatology clinic at the National University Hospital in Cotonou (Benin).
    Method: This retrospective descriptive study examined records of children consulting with this diagnosis over a 10-year period.
    Results: IAD (902 cases, 37%) were the most common pediatric dermatosis, followed by infectious dermatosis (24%). The sex ratio of children was 0.78. The age groups most strongly affected were those aged 1-30 months (25.39%) and 150-180 months (19.73%). The main IAD were: eczema (47.9%) and prurigo simplex (40.7%). Other IADs included lichen planus (5.1%), toxicoderma (3.8%), urticaria (1.5%), and erythrodermic eczema (1%). The incidence of eczema increased from 13.5% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2009, an increase of 62.2% over 10 years.
    Conclusion: IADs are common at the Cotonou hospital clinic and are dominated by eczema, the incidence of which has increased significantly over time.

    Title translation Zoon's balanitis in circumcised and HIV infected man, at Cotonou (Benin).
    Abstract Balanitis of Zoon (BZ) characterized by an important plasma cell infiltration occurs exclusively in uncircumcised men aged between 40-80 years. We report here a case of BZ in an HIV infected patient who was circumcised since birth. A 43-year old man consulted in 2009 for itchy and not painful glans erosion evolving for one year. He is HIV1 infected and has been under didanosine, lamiduvine and nelfinavir for three years. Under this treatment, his CD4 count increased from 26 cells/mm(3) in 2007 to 206 cells/mm(3) at the time of the consultation. We noted after examination clean burgeoning erosion, red in places, pink in other places, with fuzzy boundary, sitting on the glans and extending into the preputial sulcus. Histopathology showed infiltration by sheets of plasma cells with perivascular topography in the dermis. The bacterial cultures and syphilis serology were negative. We noted a good outcome after four weeks of application of 3% oxytetracycline ointment. This observation suggests that the BZ can occur on a HIV infected patient whether he was circumcised or not. Thus, it appears fair to think of BZ faced with a chronic erosion of the glans in HIV infected patient.

    Title translation Risk factors and allergic manifestations associated with atopic dermatitis in Lomé (Togo): a multicenter study of 476 children aged 0-15 years.
    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and document the risk factors and allergic reactions associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) in children in Lomé.
    Method: This cross-sectional multicenter study took place from March to June 2013 in four health facilities in Lomé. It applied the criteria of the United Kingdom Working Party (UKWP).
    Results: We included 476 children aged 0-15 years who came for a vaccination or pediatric consultation; 31.3% were diagnosed with AD. The mean age of the children with AD was 33.91 ± 37 months, and the sex ratio (M/F) 0.96. In the univariate analysis, several risk factors and allergic reactions were significantly associated with AD including weaning, asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis in infants, and prurigo. In the multivariate analysis, AD was associated with prurigo (aOR = 15.59, 95% CI = 7.54 to 32.21), allergic rhinitis (aOR = 7.51, 95% CI = 4.31 to 13.10), and food allergy (aOR = 5.32 95% CI = 1.20 to 23.48) were associated with AD.
    Conclusion: AD is common in children in Lomé. Prurigo, allergic rhinitis and food allergy are allergic manifestations associated with it. These results deserve confirmation by a prospective study over a longer period.

    Abstract Background: Vitiligo is unsightly on darkly pigmented skin and leads important stigmatization because of the mix-up with leprosy.
    Patients and methods: We analyzed retrospectively the epidemiological and clinical patterns of vitiligo on darkly pigmented skin between 1988 and 2008 in the Department of Dermatology in Cotonou (Benin). The diagnosis was made based on the clinical characteristics of vitiligo.
    Results: Two hundred and forty-six patients were seen, representing 0.9% of new consultations. The gender ratio was 1 : 1, and the mean age of patients was 25.9 years. The mean duration of the lesions was 30.9 months. Among the 246 patients, an associated pathology was found in 26% of cases. These included atopy (23.2%), diabetes (1.6%), thyroid disease (0.8%), and alopecia (0.4%). A family history of vitiligo was present in 1.2% of cases. The sites of the lesions were in descending order of frequency: head (60.6%), lower limbs (40.2%), upper limbs (33.3%), trunk (22.4%), genitals (13.0%), and neck (8.9%). On the head, the most common sites affected were the lips (65.1%), cheek (20.8%), and ears (16.8%). According to the different clinical forms, vitiligo was achromic (76%), speckled (12.6%), and trichromic (11.4%). Vitiligo vulgaris was the commonest form of the disease (52.4%), followed by localized vitiligo (36.2%), segmental vitiligo (9.8%), and vitiligo universalis (1.6%). Triggering factors were identified in 4.5% of patients.
    Conclusion: Our survey shows that the patterns of vitiligo are similar to that reported from other African countries with a few distinguishing particularities.

    Title translation Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of anogenital dermatoses in the department of dermatology-venereology in Cotonou, Benin.
    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to document the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of anogenital dermatoses (AGDs) in Cotonou, Benin.
    Method: This retrospective, descriptive study, conducted in the Department of Dermatology-Venereology at the National University Hospital of Cotonou, examined medical records of admissions and outpatient consultations for the 5-year period 2005-2009 and included the records of all patients with a clinical diagnosis of AGD.
    Results: The prevalence of AGD in our series was 2.6% and the prevalence of sexually transmitted AGDs (STIs) was 1.3%. The sex ratio (M:F) was 2.5, and the patients' average age was 31.1 years. AGDs were classified as infectious (77%), inflammatory (12.6%), non-infectious tumors (3.7%), physiological (2.1%), psychodermatoses (2.1%), non-infectious ulcers (1.6%), and dyschromia (1%). STIs accounted for 44% of the AGDs: condyloma (65.5%), genital herpes (19%), urethritis (8.3%), and chancroids (4.8%). The primary sites in men were the foreskin, the groin, the scrotum, and the glans, and in women, the labia majora, the groin, the labia minora, and the anal cleft.
    Conclusion: AGDs were relatively rare in hospital consultations in Cotonou. They were mainly infectious (viral or fungal), and nearly half were STIs.

    Title translation Mucocutaneous manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus infection in Cotonou, Benin.
    Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe mucocutaneous manifestations observed in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Cotonou, Benin. A transverse retrospective study was carried out on the records of PLHIV who underwent follow-up at the Military Teaching Hospital in Cotonou from February 2002 to September 2005. The files of all eligible adult patients examined by dermatologists prior to initiation of antiretroviral treatment were reviewed. Dermatologic manifestations were defined as any cutaneous or cicatricial lesion of the skin. Data was analyzed using the EPI INFO software package. (version 6.0). A total of 152 patient files were included. The sex ratio was 1.10 with a female predominance. Mean age was 37.8 years. HIV1 was predominant (98%). Two-thirds of patients were as stage 3 according to the WHO classification. A total of 276 dermatologic manifestations were identified. The most common manifestations were buccopharyngeal candidiasis (24.6%), prurigo (20.6%), shingles (11.6%), and dermatophytosis (10.5%). The mean CD4 lymphocyte level was 106 cells/mm3. The CD4 level was below 100 cells/mm3 in 52% of cases involving candidiasis and 60% of cases involving prurigo. Dermatologic findings in this study were identical to those described in most studies from Africa and Asia. However the low prevalence of Koposi's sarcoma and seborrheic dermitits was surprising given the advanced stage of immunodepression in our patients. The most frequent mucocutaneous manifestations of HIV infection in Benin are infectious disease and prurigo.

    Title translation Gangrene with pyocyanic infection and osteitis in a patient presenting endemic Kaposi's sarcoma: case report from Benin.
    Abstract Infectious complications involving chronic skin ulcers have been well document but superinfection of ulcerated Kaposi's sarcoma nodules by multiresistant germs has rarely been reported. The purpose of this report is to describe a case in a 57-year-old HIV-negative black African man. Kaposi's sarcoma nodules appeared suddenly and spread rapidly on the right leg with pain and fever. Onset was associated with a laboratory-documented inflammatory syndrome and two metatarsal bone defects. Amputation of the leg was required due to the presence of multiresistant germs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multiresistant Staphylococus aureus and Candida albicans. Occurrence of bone lesions beneath superinfected Kaposi's sarcoma nodules poses a challenge for differential diagnosis of the underlying cause, i.e. either Kaposi's sarcoma or infectious osteitis. Since etiologic diagnosis of bone defects requires facilities that are rarely available in an African hospital, surgical treatment is the only alternative if antimicrobial therapy fails.

    Abstract Background: The objective of this investigation was to study the prevalence of xerosis, eczema, and hair and nail abnormalities in PLWHA in Cotonou.
    Patients and methods: A retrospective study was performed on the records of PLWHA in Cotonou. All PLWHA with xerosis, eczema, or abnormal appendages were included.
    Results: Forty-seven patients had xerosis or eczema. Their mean age was 38 years; the sex ratio 0.51 and the mean CD4 count 89 cells/mm(3). Twenty-three patients had xerosis, which affected the whole body (n = 20), lower limb (n = 2), limbs and trunk (n = 1), without gender difference. Twenty-four patients had eczema of which eight had both eczema and xerosis. Forty-two patients had abnormalities of the hair or nails. Their sex ratio was 0.80 and the mean CD4 count 110 cells/mm(3) . Nineteen patients had abnormalities of the hair and scalp: straight hair (n = 16), squamous lesions (n = 2), and folliculitis abscess (n = 1) with a male predominance. Twenty-three patients had nail dermatophytosis (n = 15), candidiasis (n = 7), and ingrowing nails (n = 1). These conditions affected more often women (74%) than men (26%).
    Conclusion: The prevalence of eczema and xerosis is low in our patients. Onychomycosis was the most frequent nail abnormality.
