WHAT DOES YAWS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

yaws

Yaws

Yaws is a tropical infection of the skin, bones and joints caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum pertenue.[3][4] The disease begins with a round, hard swelling of the skin, 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter.[4] The center may break open and form an ulcer.[4] This initial skin lesion typically heals after three to six months.[5] After weeks to years, joints and bones may become painful, fatigue may develop, and new skin lesions may appear.[4] The skin of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet may become thick and break open.[5] The bones may become misshapen.[5] After five years or more large areas of skin death with subsequent scarring may occur.[4] Other related treponemal diseases are bejel, pinta, and syphilis.[5] Yaws is spread by direct contact with the fluid from a lesion of an infected person.[5] The contact is usually of a non-sexual nature.[5] The disease is most common among children, who spread it by playing together.[4] Yaws is often diagnosed by the appearance of the lesions.[5] Blood antibody tests may be useful but cannot separate previous from current infections.
