The authors report the epidemiological and clinical aspects of tropical endemic limbo-conjunctivitis in 819 cameroonian patients followed up from June 1989 to June 1990: Tropical endemic limbo-conjunctivitis constitutes about 4% of causes of consultation in our services. The population concerned with LCT is composed of 46.28% of girls and 53.72% of boys; 85% of patients presenting with tropical endemic limbo conjunctivitis are aged between 7 months and 15 years; Allergy and past family history of tropical endemic limbo conjunctivitis are rare and filariasis is an aggravating factor of the disease; The pure globus form is the most frequent (80%) and we did observe especially stages I and II of the disease; The disease does not seem to cause blindness in our area.
