Abstract

Dermatology in French-speaking African countries is facing many challenges. Dermatology societies, if they exist, are relatively young and have limited financial resources to provide regular training opportunities for their members and those in training. In several sub-Saharan nations, the small number of dermatologists is truly alarming with the prevalence of such major skin diseases as cutaneous leishmaniasis, AIDS, mycetoma, leprosy, and the consequences of skin bleaching procedures, reaching catastrophic figures.

摘要

法语非洲国家的皮肤科面临着许多挑战。皮肤科协会（如果有的话）相对较年轻，且资金有限，无法为其成员和受训人员提供定期培训机会。在撒哈拉以南的几个国家，皮肤科医生的数量真的很少，而诸如皮肤利什曼病、艾滋病、真菌病、麻风病以及皮肤漂白程序的后果等重大皮肤病的患病率却高得惊人。
