A child with duchenne muscular dystrophy: A case report of a rare diagnosis among Africans

Abstract

Abstract In Africa, lack of awareness and low index of suspicion of rare diseases like dystrophinopathies, directly or indirectly, contributes to the increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, even though the data on prevalence is limited, we need to have a high degree of suspicion in patients presenting with suggestive clinical features.
