“…Hypopigmented guttate macules (1-5 mm sized) have also been described as a rare feature typical of dark-skinned individuals. 34 DD has been described in sub-Saharan Africa but not in Ethiopia. [35][36][37] We observed two patients with DD.…”

Reports of congenital diseases in Africa are scanty, probably because of their rarity, the lack of knowledge among health workers, and the difficult political and social situation in different African countries. We describe here the spectrum of genetic and rare congenital cutaneous conditions encountered at the Italian Dermatological Center of Ayder referral hospital of Mekele, Ethiopia, over a 3-year period. All patients attending the Italian Dermatological Center were registered in a database, and medical records of genetic and congenital disorders diagnosed from January 2008 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Over the total, 24 different genetic and congenital disorders affecting 122 individuals (0.4% of the total case load) were observed. In our case series, we did not report any patient affected by albinism, in contrast with literature from other African countries. To our knowledge, this is the first report from northern Ethiopia. A brief update on the commonest disorders is included.

“…Thus, in the absence of a thorough examination of other family members, it is difficult to state conclusively that this is a sporadic case. The disease has a worldwide distribution, with just a handful of reports from Africa [12][13][14]. This is despite the description of a unique variant -guttate leukoderma -exclusively found in persons with pigmented skin [14][15].…”

The rarity of reportage may account for the diagnostic delay of over a decade, which severely affected the patient's quality of life.…”

Darier-White disease (keratosis follicularis) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by hyperkeratotic papules and plaques in seborrheic areas, often presenting with nail abnormalities and occasionally mucous membrane changes.It has been associated with neurocognitive/psychiatric disorders, ankylosing spondylitis, hidradenitis suppurativa and nephritis. Affected individuals also have an increased tendency to cutaneous infections. However, a thorough literature search showed no association with sensorineural hearing loss. We herein report the case of a 34-year-old Nigerian man with disfiguring Darier-White disease (DWD) associated with spondyloarthropathy and sensorineural hearing loss. We affirm that early diagnosis, prompt and appropriate therapy and adequate patient education can avert undesirable outcomes.
