title: [Acute disseminated lupus erythematosus in Ivory Coast (apropos of 9 cases)].
abstract: Nine cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (S.L.E.) among ivoirian Africans seen over a period of eleven years were studied. The pattern of clinical presentations is similar of that seen elsewhere. Photo-sensitivity is not described as in american Negroes. Death is usually due to severe infection. The incidence of the disease among populations of different african countries are compared. The low prevalence 0,18 p. mille may be a function of failure to diagnose the more mild cases.
