Alpha-galactosidase A deficiency (Fabry's disease) in a black Zimbabwean.
We describe a patient with Fabry's disease with renal and myocardial involvement. He has been followed up for 10 years. This metabolic defect has not been noted before in southern Africa; the clinical course is similar to that of western European and American cases.
