Abstract:
On the basis of 118 cases of Kaposi's sarcoma observed in different African countries, the authors study the distribution of this disease according to age and sex. They suggest a test to compare various populations independently of their behaviour versus medical structures. The test is based on a simultaneous study of Kaposi's sarcoma and malignant melanoma. It includes the calculation of a sex- standardised ratio.
