A retrospective review of the changing phase of the incidence of dermatological and venereal diseases, as seen in University Teaching Hospital practice in Lagos, Nigeria is presented. About 8,849 new patients were seen over a 5-year-period. An analysis of the dermatological conditions encountered is made, while brief reports of few common skin conditions are also given. The clinical pattern was similar to those of Western countries, but with addition of a great number of dermatoses. This similarity has been modified by epidemiological factors. A national program for improvement of the environmental health including control of industrial and communicable diseases will ameliorate the increasing morbidity of tropical dermatology.
本文回顾性分析了尼日利亚拉各斯大学教学医院所诊治的皮肤病和性病发病率的变化阶段。在5年期间共诊治了约8849名新患者。对所遇到的皮肤病情况进行了分析，并对少数常见皮肤病作了简要报告。临床模式与西方国家相似，但增加了大量皮肤病。这种相似性已因流行病学因素而有所改变。一项旨在改善环境卫生，包括控制工业疾病和传染病的国家计划，将改善热带皮肤病发病率不断上升的状况。
