The objective of this research was to describe the epidemiological, therapeutic, and progressive aspects of the cutaneous manifestations of HAT. Patients and methods: This 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. The variables analyzed were epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic, and progressive. Results: The 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%). The average evolution of skin signs was six months, and on average after two months 96.7% of the patients monitored were completely cured. The 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). Conclusion: Scraping lesions on the thorax are highly indicative of HAT. specialized Cutaneous manifestations HAT Dubréka GUINEE DUBREKA 052 050 37 1 173-181 2025 0995-3914 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010092906 0995-3914 [F B010092906] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010092906 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2025-04/010092906.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2025-04-02 2025-04-14 fdi:010092906 fre
