“…Therefore, the extreme sex ratio among our patients seems to result from a short-term scarcity of incident male patients during the period 1995-1999. Five percent to 12% of cases described in published DLE cohorts subsequently became SLE, which is consistent with our observation in a populationbased study (1,2). Frequent loss to followup in our CCLE population makes it difficult to interpret this observation, despite the probable better detection of SLE according to systemic symptoms.…”

“…However, the absence of standardized technical procedures used by laboratories for ANA testing and the limited number of patients weaken any conclusions. With some reservations due to methodologic issues, our study shows that the AAI of CCLE seems low in FG; however, we can compare our study with only one epidemiologic study in the predominantly white population of Rochester, Minnesota (2). In this study, we have to compare with CCLE and lupus panniculitis, whose mean annual incidences between 1965 and 2005 were 3.56 (95% CI 2.94 -4.18) and 0.07 (95% CI 0.00 -0.16), respectively.…”

“…Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) itself is divided into classic, mucosal, hypertrophic/verrucous, and lichenoid DLE, and lupus tumidus, chilblain lupus, and lupus panniculitis are considered to be subtypes of CCLE (1). There are little epidemiologic data available about CCLE; only one population-based study is available, in Rochester, Minnesota, which found a mean annual incidence of 4.3 per 100,000 for all forms of nonsystemic lupus in the population of Olmsted County between 1965 and 2005 (2). French Guiana (FG) is an equatorial territory in South America with 157,000 inhabitants, where health care is free and easily accessible.…”

Objective. To retrospectively study the incidence of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) in French Guiana (FG), South America, during the period 1995-1999. Methods. Private and public physicians specializing in dermatology, rheumatology, and internal medicine were asked during the year 2000 about lupus cases. We reviewed hospitals' files in data-processing departments. Results. Twenty new cases of CCLE, mostly discoid form, were identified during this 5-year period in this population of predominantly African descent. The average annual incidence of the disease was 2.59 per 100,000 inhabitants (95% confidence interval 1.5-4). However, our methodology could introduce underestimation of the incidence of the disease. Conclusion. The average annual incidence of CCLE in FG appears to be low in this retrospective study, but is very similar to the only previously published data in the US.

“…Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune disease with heterogeneous clinical features that can be divided in acute (ACLE), subacute (SCLE), and chronic (CCLE) [1]. This classification is based on a combination of clinical features, histological changes, laboratory abnormalities, and average duration of skin lesions [2].…”

“…CCLE is the most prevalent form of CLE [1], including several subtypes. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common form of CCLE, generally involving the face (forehead, philtrum, malar region, nose, ears, and cheek) in a longstanding and disfiguring way [3].…”
