Ten new patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease were seen in the University College Hospital, Ibadan, in ten years, out of a hospital pediatric population of 550,000, giving an incidence of 1:55,000. This result is consistent with previous reports that Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is less common in Negroes than in Caucasians but Negroes are not immune.
在伊巴丹大学学院医院,10年间在55万儿科住院患者中发现了10例Legg-Calvé-Perthes病新患者,发病率为1:55,000。这一结果与之前的报告一致,即Legg-Calvé-Perthes病在黑人中比在白人中更少见,但黑人并非不会患病。
