Six patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a condition not previously reported in Blacks in this country, have been reviewed. All had serious physical disability and medical or surgical therapy did not influence the course of the disease. By extrapolation from prevalence data established in Britain, it can be estimated that there are at least 10 additional affected individuals in southern Africa.
对6例进行性骨化性纤维发育不良患者进行了回顾性研究，该国黑人中此前未报告过这种疾病。所有患者均有严重身体残疾，药物或手术治疗均未影响疾病进程。根据英国确定的患病率数据推断，估计南部非洲至少还有10名受影响个体。
