Objective. The aim of the study is to investigate the possible associations between the blood groups ABO and Rhesus systems and the presence of keloids in patients with black skin. Method. This case-control study was conducted between September 2007 and August 2011 comparing dermatologic outpatients with keloids to matched controls recruited in preanesthetic consultation at Tokoin Teaching Hospital of Lomé (Togo). Results. The distribution of different ABO blood groups and Rhesus blood groups in both groups (cases versus controls) was not significantly different. This distribution of different blood groups was superimposed on the general population of blood donors at the National Blood Transfusion Center of Lomé. Univariate analysis between each blood group and the presence of keloid does not yield any statistically significant association between blood groups and presence of keloids in the subjects. Conclusion. The study shows no significant association between blood groups and the presence of keloids in our patients. Further investigation needs to be conducted to elucidate this hypothesis further by conducting multicenter studies of several ethnic groups.

Background Basidiobolomycosis is a deep mycosis which preferentially affects rural young people in tropical countries. We report an atypical case, with multiple ulcers, simulating a Buruli ulcer. Case Report A 5-year-old boy, living in a rural area, was seen for ulcers on the buttocks and at the back and right flank that had been in progress for 4 months. On examination, we found an infiltrated plaque with sharp edges, little painful, located on the buttocks, back, and the right flank. On this plaque, there were multiple ulcers with polycyclic contours and fibrinous bottom. There were inguinal inflammatory lymph nodes. The patient had an altered general condition. Examination of other organs was normal. The diagnosis of Buruli ulcer was evoked first; the search for Mycobacterium ulcerans by polymerase chain reaction was negative. Histology test performed revealed hypodermic granulomatous inflammation with predominant macrophage and eosinophils. The mycological culture was not done. The child was treated successfully with ketoconazole (10 mg/kg/day) during eight weeks. Discussion Our observation shows great clinical and epidemiological similarities between basidiobolomycosis and Buruli ulcer. It confirms the efficacy of ketoconazole in severe basidiobolomycosis infection with alteration of general condition. Histopathology is very important for differential diagnosis between these two diseases.

This study aimed to highlight the epidemiological , clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of connective tissue diseases in the hospitals setting in Lomé. We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study from January 1, 1993 to December 30, 2012. We focused on the medical records of patients with connective tissue diseases hospitalized in five Departments of Dermatology and Rheumatology at the Hospitals in Lomé. During the study period, we identified 231 cases of connective tissue diseases in the five study centers, corresponding to a frequency of 0.19% of consultations. The average age of patients was 36,96±15 years, the sex-ratio was 0,2. Major connective tissue diseases included lupus disease (50.22%), sclerodermas (21,64%) and rheumatoid polyarthritis (20.35%). Clinically, the main clinical manifestations of connective tissue diseases included discoid lupus lesions (87.50%) and photosensitivity (82.50%) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, skin sclerosis (90.48%) in patients with systemic scleroderma and distal joint involvement (100%) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (92.5%) and rheumatoid arthritis (73.47%) was based on systemic corticosteroids. Connective tissue diseases are rare in people living in Lomé, with a predominance of lupus disease. They are more frequent in young women. Treatment is based on systemic corticosteroids.

Our study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and diagnostic aspects of African histoplasmosis in Togo through a descriptive and cross-sectional study on histological diagnosed African histoplasmosis in Pathology Department of Lomé from 2002 to 2016 (15 years). A total of 17 cases of African histoplasmosis were diagnosed. The sex ratio (M/F) was 1.8. The annual incidence was 1.1 cases. The mean age of the patients was 27.2 ± 0.4 years. All our patients were of social categories with a low socioeconomic level. HIV infection was known in 3 patients and one patient contracted tuberculosis. The clinical manifestations were cutaneous in 7 cases, cutaneous and mucous in 3 cases, cutaneous and lymph node in 3 cases, cutaneous and bone in 2 cases, and disseminated in 2 cases. The samples examined consisted of 14 cutaneous biopsies measuring 2-3 cm and 3 ganglionic biopsies each measuring 4 cm of major axis. Histologically, all cases were of chronic form made of granulomatous reaction with ovoid yeasts measuring between 1 and 2 microns. Despite the low frequency of this disease in our country, it should be kept constantly in mind before any granulomatous lesions, especially in the context of the HIV pandemic.

Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with self-medication in dermatology in Lomé, Togo. Methods We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study from February to April 2016 in 2 dermatology departments in Lomé. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were carried out to identify possible factors associated with self-medication. Results A total of 711 patients were included in the study. The mean age (±SD) of the patients was 26.6 ± 6.9 years and the sex ratio (male/female) was 0.6. The main dermatologic diseases recorded were immunoallergic dermatoses (39.7%) and infectious skin diseases (22.6%). Two-thirds (481/711; 66.7%) of the patients had practiced self-medication before consultation in dermatology units. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with self-medication were female sex (aOR = 1.44; 95% CI = [1.01, 2.05]), duration of dermatologic disease more than one year (aOR = 1.79; IC = [1.19, 2.68]), adnexal dermatoses (aOR = 2.31; 95% IC = [1.03–5.21]), keratinization disorders (aOR = 4.23; 95% CI = [1.36–13.13]), and fungal skin infections (aOR = 5.43; 95% CI = [2.20, 13.38]). Conclusion Our study confirms that self-medication practice is very common among patients with dermatologic diseases in Lomé and has identified associated factors.
