A small yaws survey on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Acta Leidensia 1992
Yaws (framboesia tropica), caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue, is a chronic infectious disease, found in tropical rural regions. As a result of mass treatment campaigns conducted in the 1950s and 1960s the prevalence of yaws and the other endemic treponematoses (pinta and endemic syphilis) has decreased greatly. However, in several tropical regions in the world resurgence of yaws was reported in the 1980s. In this article we present the results of a small survey on yaws in six health centres in the Pariaman region in West Sumatra, Indonesia. A general conclusion from this small survey is that yaws is far from being eradicated and that in this region the disease is on the increase again. Some major findings of T. pertenue research are presented here.
