ABSTRACT

Many pictures of genodermatoses in dark skin have been placed in the chapters throughout this book; nevertheless, we wanted to show some evocative photographs in this specific chapter.

This material is the result of 2 years spent in Africa in five different hospitals: Ayder Hospital

(Mekele, Ethiopia), Cottoleng Hospital (Chaaria, Kenya), Abobo Healt Center (Gambella, Ethiopia), Wau Mission Hospital (South Sudan), and Chikuni Mission Hospital (Zambia). Special thanks to Professor A. Morrone who allowed us to have this experience.
