In Africa, lack of awareness and low index of suspicion of rare diseases like dystrophinopathies, directly or indirectly, contributes to the increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, even though the data on prevalence is limited, we need to have a high degree of suspicion in patients presenting with suggestive clinical features.
在非洲,对诸如肌营养不良症等罕见疾病缺乏认识且怀疑指数较低,直接或间接地导致了发病率和死亡率的上升。因此,尽管关于患病率的数据有限,但对于具有提示性临床特征的患者,我们仍需保持高度怀疑。
