Japan has long had a Leprosy Prevention Law. The experience of compulsory segregation often damaged patients’ selfesteem, causing most to break off their family relations. Even after their disease was cured, individuals with a history of leprosy were made to live in a restricted society. When sick, these individuals often don’t want to visit a clinic because they fear disclosure of their leprous history. We set up our clinic to serve as a gateway to medical resources for these individuals, through collaboration with medical social workers. We have several medical specialists, one of whom has many years of experience in working with patients with leprosy. Our clinic actively manages 54 patients, with 2 deaths to date. The average age of the 52 living patients is 78.4 (62–99) years old. Majority of the patients had lepromatous leprosy (LL), followed by borderline leprosy. The disability rates for upper- and lower-extremities and lateral part of the eyes are very high. Patient’s biggest ...

A program to prevent the transmission of HIV from mother to child has been set up throughout the country. Despite these interventions, the number of infected infants continues to increase. It is in this context that we have proposed to study the rate prevalence of transmission of HIV from mother-to-child under the B + option and to identify the main risk factors associated with it. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study, from 1st January to 31st December 2017 in five mother-to-child transmission prevention sites(MCTPS) in the city of Bangui. The study population consisted of all infants born to HIVpositive mothers followed under the B + option, and to whom the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening test was conducted between the 6th Life Week and 18 months.

Paget's disease of the breast is a rare type of cancer of the nipple-areola complex which is characterized by eczematous lesions. It is often associated with an underlying in-situ or invasive carcinoma but it is not a must. Paget’s disease might be misdiagnosed as nipple eczema and this may cause a delay in the diagnosis. A 65-year old female patient admitted to our department with a 1-year history of erythema and swelling which started over the left nipple and spread to the areola. The patient used topical steroid treatment which was unsuccessful. In her medical history, there was total right mastectomy operation for diagnosed ductal carcinoma. The patient presented with no active palpable mass at left breast or lymph nodes on both sides at that moment. Dermatological examination revealed sharp bordered, erythematous, mildly squamated, 2x3 cm in diameter, solitary plaque lesion located on left nipple. Radiological imaging showed no abnormalities.

Positive family history elicited in (26%) of patients and stress was the commonest aggravating factor which represent (84%). Clinically, vitiligo vulgaris represent the commonest morphological pattern(35%), nearly half of patients (48...
