RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this case-control study was to identify risk factors associated with acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN), seen in a dermatology clinic in Lomé (Togo). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a case-control study conducted from January to December 2018. Patients were recruited at outpatients dermatological clinics and controls were recruited at outpatients dermatological clinics and then in other hospital departments. RESULTS: We recruited 303 consenting subjects, comprising 101 patients with AKN and 202 controls case-matched by age (±5 years). The mean patient age was 34.9±10.7 years vs. 35.6±11.2 years for controls. The most frequently observed AKN lesions were papules (73/101; 72.2%), fibrous scars (42/101; 41.5%) and folliculitis/pustules (41/101; 40.6%). In multivariate analysis, the following factors were associated with AKN: excess weight (adjusted odds ratio=4.8; 95% CI=[2.3-11.7]) or obesity (OR=9.2; 95% CI=[2.1-34.2]), bleeding during hairdressing either occasionally (aOR=13.9; 95% CI=[5.1-40.0]) or systematically (aOR=22.1; 95% CI=[6.2-40.7]), hairdressing procedures less than once per week (aOR=10.1; 95% CI=[3.2-50.8]), and extremely close cropping of hair (aOR=4.9; 95% CI=[2.8-15.5]). CONCLUSION: AKN is common in young adults. Excess weight or obesity, bleeding during hairdressing, and frequency and style of hairdressing are all associated factors. The results of this study stress the importance of limiting injury during hairdressing, and of refraining from shaving or cropping hair without a trimmer. Since management of AKN is extremely difficult, identification of associated risk factors allows suitable preventive approaches to be adopted.

RESUMO

This was a 50-year-old woman with a selling activity living in Lomé who came for a consultation in March 2016 for a facial flushing that had been going on for 2 months without pain or pruritus. On examination, there was a single, erythemato-squamous closet of the right hemiface. There was no infiltration of the right ear. There was moderate cutaneous heat compared to the left hemiface which was without any lesion. Examination of nails, hair, palms and plants was normal. There was no hypertrophy of the peripheral nerves (superficial cervical plexus, ulnar, median). The face was not fixed. Complementary examinations noted a normal blood count and negative HIV status. Histology performed on a biopsy fragment concluded tuberculoid leprosy. The patient was first put on WHO multidrug therapy during 6 months. But one month after stopping this treatment, the lesions resumed. She was referred to a multibacillary leprosy protocol during one year. She had been seen 4 months after stopping treatment, without recurrence. It is important not to ignore leprosy in case of atypical erythema of the face even in the absence of other evocative signs and to perform a biopsy to the slightest doubt.


Il s'agit d'une femme de 50 ans, revendeuse, résidant à Lomé qui a consulté en mars 2016 pour une rougeur du visage évoluant depuis 2 mois sans douleur, ni prurit. À l'examen, on notait un placard unique érythémato-squameux de l'hémiface droit avec une bordure infiltrée. Il n'y avait pas d'infiltration du pavillon de l'oreille droite. Il y avait une chaleur cutanée modérée par rapport à l'hémiface gauche qui était sans aucune lésion. L'examen des ongles, des cheveux, des paumes et plantes était normal. On notait une absence d'hypertrophie des nerfs périphériques (plexus cervical superficiel, cubital, médiane). Le visage n'était pas figé. Les examens complémentaires notaient un hémogramme normal et une sérologie VIH négative. L'histologie réalisée sur un fragment biopsique a conclu à une lèpre tuberculoïde. La patiente a d'abord été mise sous le protocole de polychimiothérapie de l'OMS pendant 6 mois. Mais un mois après l'arrêt de ce traitement, les lésions ont repris. Elle a été remise sous un protocole de lèpre multibacillaire pour une durée d'un an. Elle a été revue 4 mois après l'arrêt du traitement, sans récidive. Il importe de ne pas méconnaître une lèpre devant un érythème atypique du visage même en l'absence d'autres signes évocateurs et de réaliser une biopsie au moindre doute.

RESUMO

We have studied the epidemiological and clinical profile of herpes zoster in patients consulting at different hospitals in Lomé (Togo). This is a retrospective study of the records of the patient consulting for herpes zoster in the dermatology departments of these hospitals from 2009 to 2018. Of the 20,548 patients seen in the different departments, 254 (1.2%) had herpes zoster. The mean age of the patients was 41.6 ± 16 years, and the sex-ratio (M/F) was 0.81. Thirty-one (12.24%) patients were known to be HIVpositive and 105 (41.33%) agreed to be tested for HIV after admission. Thirty-five (33.3%) of these 105 patients were found to be HIV positive. Factors associated with HIV infection in 136 patients with the known HIV status were as follows: history of herpes zoster (P < 0.01, compared with the seronegatives), hemorrhagic lesions (P < 0.001), multimetameric location (P < 0.0001), and involvement of the cephalic extremity (P < 0.0001). Post-herpetic pain was observed in 32 (12.6%) patients.


Nous avons étudié le profil épidémiologique, clinique et thérapeutique du zona en milieu hospitalier à Lomé (Togo). Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective portant sur les dossiers des patients consultant pour un zona dans les services publics de dermatologie de 2009 à 2018. Parmi les 20 548 patients vus dans les différents services, 254 (1,24 %) ont consulté pour un zona. L'âge moyen des patients était de 41,6 ± 16 ans et le sex-ratio (M/F) de 0,81. Trente et un (12,2 %) patients étaient connus séropositifs pour le VIH et 105 (41,33 %) ont accepté de faire le test de dépistage du VIH. Le zona était révélateur de l'infection à VIH chez 35 (33,3 %) des 105 patients dépistés. Les facteurs associés à la séropositivité VIH chez les 136 patients testés pour le VIH étaient : un antécédent de zona (p < 0,01, comparé aux séronégatifs), l'aspect hémorragique des lésions (p < 0,001), le caractère multimétamérique de l'atteinte (p < 0,0001) et l'atteinte de l'extrémité céphalique (p < 0,0001). Une douleur postzostérienne était observée chez 32 (12,6 %) des patients.
