Yaws Ii (Yaws, Framboesia), Pian (Pian)

Yaws Ii (Yaws, Framboesia), Pian (Pian) is a tropical infectious disease caused by contact with human skin and the underlying layers of the spirochete Treponema pertenue. It occurs mainly in places with poor sanitary conditions. Infection occurs through direct contact with sick people and their clothing; In addition, there is an assumption that yaws can also be transmitted through flies of the genus Hippelates. Spirochetes penetrate the surface layers of the skin through scratches and abrasions on its surface.

The initial symptoms of the disease are: fever, pain and itching, accompanied by the formation of small swellings, each of which is covered with a yellowish crust of caked serous fluid (they form mainly on the hands, face, legs and feet). These swellings can develop into deep ulcers over time.

At the final stage of the disease, which occurs several years after infection, the patient experiences destructive lesions of the skin, bones and periosteum, leading to various deformities (see also Destructive nasopharyngitis with yaws, Gundu).

Most often, yaws develops in children, and it predominates in the hot and humid valleys of Equatorial Africa, in the tropical zones of America, the Far East and the West Indies. Penicillin and other antibiotics are effective treatments for this disease.

Yaws and Pian are tropical infections that are caused by spirochtes of the genus Treponema coming into contact with the skin. This disease is common in areas with poor hygienic conditions, where there is high humidity and heat. When spirochta enters the skin through cuts and scrapes, ulcers may occur on the limbs and face, which can develop deeply. Frambies, according to statistics, develops more often in children. Treatment for this disease involves the use of antibiotics such as penicillin.
