摘　　要：Objective: To study the epidemiological and diagnostic features of chronic rheumatic disease (CRD) in a black population in sub-Saharan Africa. Patients and Methods: Retrospective descriptive study over eight years (January 2005 to December 2012) of patients seen for CRD in rheumatology hospitalization at the CHU de Cocody in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Results: Of 3147 hospitalized patients, 92 had CRD, a frequency of 2.9%. The mean age of patients was 43.50 ± 15.6 years (extremes: 10 to 79 years). The sex ratio was 0.08 (7 men and 85 women). The socio-economic level was low in 44 patients (47.8%), medium in 44 patients (47.8%), and high in 4 patients (4.4%). The reasons for consultation were polyarthritis (64.1%), polyarthralgia (30.4%), and oligoarthritis (5.4%). The mean duration of symptomatology was 19 months (range: 3 to 20 years). The mean length of hospital stay was 14.2 ± 7.7 days (range: 2 to 36 days). The CRD observed were: rheumatoid arthritis (59.8%), systemic lupus erythematosus (23.9%), mixed connective tissue disease (6.5%), undifferentiated connective tissue disease (3.3%), polymyositis (3.3%), systemic scleroderma (2.2%), and systemic vasculitis (1%). Conclusion: CRD is not uncommon in rheumatology hospitals in Abidjan. Diagnostic delays are long, and rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are the most frequently encountered conditions.Objective: To study the epidemiological and diagnostic features of chronic rheumatic disease (CRD) in a black population in sub-Saharan Africa.
