What is that?
Yaws, also known as Frambesia, is a tropical skin infection that occurs in Africa, South America, East Asia and the Caribbean. This condition is caused by Spirochete Treponema Pertenue and is easily treated with a single dose of antibiotics. The ease of treatment allowed the World Health Organization (WHO) to almost completely erase the 70th, but unfortunately many nations lacked sources that could follow and handle the last cases, and in the 189th century began to rise again. People can avoid direct contact with infected individuals or insects that rise to infected individuals and then land on non -infected individuals. The condition begins with an ulcer known as the mother of Yaw, at the moment of contact. Four to six weeks later, ulcers appear in other areas of the body and develop raspberry appearance, along with white bark.
If you are left with the men that are treated, they penetrate the bone. Although the condition is not inherently fatal, it may cause disability and weakenThe and patients are threatened by secondary infections that can settle around ulcers. Jaws can also be quite painful and can lead to social isolation, because ulcers are aesthetically attractive and people are afraid of the risks of infection. Penetration into bone can cripple people throughout their lives, even if they receive treatment.
As well as other tropical diseases, Yaws has proved to be difficult to erad, because nations where they most often occur are lacking resources and workforce in the fight against escaping. Rural areas often suffer from a lack of high -quality medical clinic, and citizens may be afraid to seek treatment because they cannot afford it, or are afraid of accepting secondary infections from other patients at the clinic, which is a common problem in poor financial remedies and poorly maintained clinics. As a result, Yaws is easily spreading in rural communities and as people travel, they carry illness with them.
Who proposed a second attempt to eradicate Yaws with a focus on achieving each individual, as was the case during a campaign to eradicated smallpox. However, since Yaws is not deadly, the organization will probably have difficulty in bringing financing and the public interest in the Yaws eradication campaign, despite the benefits of the inhabitants of tropical regions. Cheap antibiotics for the treatment of Jaws are available at maximum tropical clinics, in patients who get into treatment.
