Abstract: La littérature rapporte que la connectivite mixte semble plus fréquente dans la population noire et chez les asiatiques. Le but de l'étude était de déterminer la prévalence de la connectivite mixte (CM) parmi les connectivites et l'ensemble des pathologies rhumatologiques dans une population hospitalière au Gabon; de décrire ensuite les caractéristiques cliniques de la maladie.

There were only two cases of Raynaud's phenomenon among the 10 patients in the series from Gabon and Senegal [10,11].…”
