  abstract = {{I}ntroduction: {C}utaneous manifestations of {HAT} are common and often go unrecognized by healthcare providers. {T}he objective of this research was to describe the epidemiological, therapeutic, and progressive aspects of the cutaneous manifestations of {HAT}. {P}atients and methods: {T}his is an ambispective, descriptive, and analytical study of {HAT} patients presentingcutaneous manifestations, treated and monitored at the centerfrom 01/01/2018 to 12/31/2023. {T}he variables analyzed were epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic, and progressive. {R}esults: {T}he prevalence of cutaneous signs was 67.9%, and the most represented data were: the age group >= 20 years (74.4%) with a sex ratio of 1.31; activities with lower risk of {HAT} (58.4%), passive patients (55.2%); patients in phase {II}(99.2%), pruritus (100%) of severe intensity (50%), scratching lesions (78.4%) localized on the thorax (82.6%), upper (75 .5%) and lower (54.1%) limbs, and abdomen (50.9%); therapeutic abstinence (82.4%), and the association of other dermatological diseases (23.2%). {T}he average evolution of skin signs was six months, and on average after two months 96.7% of the patients monitored were completely cured. {T}he factors significantly associated with scratching lesions in multivariate analysis were thoracic location (p: 0.0006), age group from 0 to 19years (p: 0.03), activities with a higher risk of {HAT} (p: 0.03), and leukorachia >= 100cel/mu l (p: 0.01). {C}onclusion: {S}craping lesions on the thorax are highly indicative of {HAT}.},
