The first cases of focal epithelial hyperplasia from Nigeria and West Africa are presented. Although cases of this disease have been reported in Coloureds from South Africa, the three cases in this report represent the first in black Africans. The probability that the etiologic agent is a communicable agent, perhaps a virus, is reinforced by the clinical histories of the two related patients in this report.
本文报告了来自尼日利亚和西非的首批局灶性上皮增生病例。尽管南非有色人种中已报告过该疾病的病例,但本报告中的三例病例是非洲黑人中的首例。本报告中两名相关患者的临床病史进一步证明了病原体可能是一种传染性因子,也许是一种病毒。
