  ABSTRACT: In Benin, the pre-hospital use of traditional phytotherapy is common. This study, conducted on patients treated at CNHU-HKM of Cotonou in the first quarter of 2024, aims to assess the existence of this practice and its influence on the diagnosis of these pathologies. Among the 32 patients included in the study, 15 (46.88%) had used phytotherapy before any medical consultation. Despite a diagnostic delay observed in 37.5% of the patients, no statistically significant correlation could be established between traditional phytotherapy and a delayed diagnosis. However, this study highlights the need for further in-depth research.
