- Yaws abstract "Yaws (also known as frambesia tropica, thymosis, polypapilloma tropicum, parangi, bouba, frambösie, and pian) is a tropical infection of the skin, bones and joints caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum pertenue. Symptoms of the disease begins with a round, two to five centimeters in size, hard swelling of the skin. The center may break open and form an ulcer. This initial skin lesion typically heals after three to six months. After weeks to years, joints and bones may become painful fatigue and new skin lesions may appear. The skin of the palms of the hands and bottom of the feet may become thick and break open. The bones (including the nose) may become misshapen. After more than five years large areas of skin death with subsequent scarring may occur.Yaws is spread by direct contact with the fluid from a lesion of an infected person. The contact is usually of a non-sexual nature. The disease is most common among children where it is spread by playing together. Other related treponemal diseases are bejel (Treponema pallidum endemicum), pinta (Treponema pallidum carateum), and syphilis (Treponema pallidum pallidum). Yaws is often diagnosed by the appearance of the lesions. Blood antibody tests may be useful but cannot separate previous from current infections. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most accurate method of diagnosis.Prevention is, in part, by curing those who have the disease thereby decreasing the risk of transmission. Where the disease is common, treating the entire community is effective. Improving cleanliness and sanitation will also decrease spread. Treatment is typically with antibiotics including: azithromycin by mouth or benzathine penicillin by injection. If there is no treatment physical deformities occurs in 10%.Yaws is common in at least 14 tropical countries as of 2012. The disease only infects humans. In the 1950s and 1960s the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly got rid of the disease. Since then the number of cases has increased and WHO is again trying get rid of the disease by 2020. The last estimate of the number of people infected was more than 500,000 in 1995. One of the first description of the disease was in 1679 by Willem Piso with some archaeological evidence finding the disease among humans as far back as 1.6 million years ago.".
