[Contact eczema and allergens: an analysis of the preliminary results of patch tests in the Dermatology Service of the National Hospital and University Center in Cotonou].

About a preliminary study of patch-test in 39 cases of contact dermatitis with allergens of international Contact Dermatitis Research (ICDRG), the authors noted 27 (69.2%) positive patch-tests. Men are frequently exposed to formaldehyde and dichromate potassium. Women are more exposed to fragrance-mix and formaldehyde. Hand workers have the uppermost percentage of positive patch-test (90.9%). The authors observed also 16 cases of contact polysensitivity for at least two allergens.

[Buschke-Loewenstein tumor. Apropos of 2 cases in Cotonou, Benin].

About two cases of Buschke-Loewenstein tumor--one of the penis in man infected with HIV and another of perianal area-, the authors insist on the relative frequency of Buschke-Loewenstein tumor in non-circumcised and homosexual groups. They emphasize the continuous precancerous spectrum of Buschke-Loewenstein tumor.

[Mibelli porokeratosis in 2 brothers].

INTRODUCTION: Mibelli's porokeratosis is uncommon in black persons. We report two brothers who had two different clinical presentations. CASE REPORT: The brothers were seen at the ages of 16 and 19 years. Both had Mibelli's porokeratosis, one with a papulo-verruciform presentation located on the scrotum, the anus, the gluteal area and the back of the hand, and the other with a superficial disseminated eruption involving the face and the forearm. DISCUSSION: The incidence of Mibelli's porokeratosis in the black population at Cotonou is approximately 0.3 per 10.000. The presence of the disease in two uterine brothers confirms the monogenic and familial nature of Mibelli's porokeratosis. Dominant transmission cannot be easily demonstrated when the parents of the patients are phenotypically healthy.

[Herpes Zoster, predictive element of human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV). Epidemio-clinical study in Cotonou (Benin)].

An epidemio-clinical study of Herpes Zoster in 39 healthy patients of Benin has permitted to the authors to evaluate the positive predictive value of Herpes Zoster for HIV infection on West Africa; and to compare it with results of central Africa. The mean age of patients is 34.74 years. The positive predictive value of Herpes Zoster for HIV infection is 41.02%. It is increased by the cranial site of Herpes Zoster.

[Cutaneous-pulmonary sarcoidosis. Diagnostic difficulties in the Black African milieu].

About a case of pulmonary and dermatologic manifestations of sarcoidosis, in a Black African patient, the authors emphasize the clinical polymorphism of sarcoidosis. They insist on the diagnostic criteria of sarcoidosis which are not at all specific of the disease but necessitate a compatible interpretation; particularly in Black Africa where leprosy, tuberculosis and many others granulomatous diseases are endemic.
