[Screening of collagen diseases in the years 1961-1972 from a selected population sample].
In our article is referred to the recognition of collagenosis in the demarcated whole district with 100,000 inhabitants. The occurrence of these diseases is lower than the occurrence of other rheumatic diseases. Our results as well as the observations of other authors confirm that the lupus erythematodes and the diffuse sclerodermia are not rare diseases even in our circumstances and with their evolution tendency they shorten the lives of the affected persons. The high recognition coefficient with large probability corresponds to the real incidence of these two diseases, which can be achieved only by an observation of many years and repeated controls of the correctness of the diagnosis.
