The aim of this study was to point out the different kinds of diseases in patients attending the rheumatology unit of Lomé Hospital from October 1989 to October 1990. Eight hundred and forty three patients (456 females, 387 males) were examined. The main results of this study are as follows: degenerative spinal involvement: 39.6%; tendinitis: 13.8%; knee osteoarthritis: 12.7%; hip osteoarthritis: 0.7%; hip involvement associated with hemoglobinopathies: 1.3%; gout: 5%; spondylarthropathies/0.8%; asymmetrical oligoarthritis: 0.6%; rheumatoid arthritis/0.2%; chronic polyarthritis without joint destruction: 1.2%; osteoporosis: 0.1%; connective tissue diseases: 0.7%. The scarcity of hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and osteoporosis is in accordance with previous studies. The same is true of the high frequency of degenerative spinal involvement and knee osteoarthritis. However, the high frequency of gout and the non exceptional character of spondylarthropathies are in contrast with previous studies effected in Black Africa.
本研究的目的是指出1989年10月至1990年10月在洛美医院风湿病科就诊患者的各类疾病情况。共检查了843例患者（女性456例，男性387例）。本研究的主要结果如下：脊柱退行性病变：39.6%；肌腱炎：13.8%；膝关节骨关节炎：12.7%；髋关节骨关节炎：0.7%；与血红蛋白病相关的髋关节病变：1.3%；痛风：5%；脊柱关节病：0.8%；不对称少关节炎：0.6%；类风湿关节炎：0.2%；无关节破坏的慢性多关节炎：1.2%；骨质疏松症：0.1%；结缔组织病：0.7%。髋关节骨关节炎、类风湿关节炎、系统性红斑狼疮和骨质疏松症的少见情况与先前研究一致。脊柱退行性病变和膝关节骨关节炎的高发病率情况也是如此。然而，痛风的高发病率以及脊柱关节病并非罕见的情况与先前在黑非洲开展的研究形成对比。
