Skin disease prevalence study in schoolchildren in rural C ôte d'Ivoire: Implications for integration of neglected skin diseases (skin NTDs)
ConclusionWe carried out the first large-scale integrated, two-phase pediatric multi-skin NTD survey in rural C ôte d’Ivoire, effectively reaching a large population. We found a high prevalence of skin diseases in children, but only limited number of skin NTDs. With the lessons learned, we plan to expand the project to a wider area to further explore its potential to better integrate skin NTD screening in the public health agenda.
