Abstract:
As part of a humanitarian relief mission, Morocco set up a mobile field hospital in Brazzaville Congo from February 22, 2006 to March 23, 2006. Analysis of data collected at a cost-free outpatient dermatology clinic demonstrated local characteristics in comparison with conventional dermatologic practice. A total of 1217 patients including 473 women, 451 men, and 293 children were examined. The five most frequent disorders affecting children were infectious disease, atopic eczema, keloids, toxidermias, and genodermatosis. In addition to these diseases, adults presented sexually transmitted infections, benign and malignant tumors, lichen, leg ulcers, elephantiasis of the external genitalia and lower extremities, and complications related to the use of skin lighteners. Historical pathology was found in 1% of the general population.
