title: [Ulcerative colitis: a case in Togo].
abstract: Ulcerative colitis seems to be rare in sub-Saharan Africa. Because its clinical and radiological signs are non-specific, anatomopathologic studies are necessary for definitive diagnosis after exclusion of parasitic, bacterial, and viral causes. The purpose of this report is to describe a fatal case of ulcerative colitis in a 68-year-old woman in Togo.
