Syphilis14
  • better source needed] Mother yaws are most commonly found on the legs and ankles, and are rarely found on the genitals (unlike syphilis) The mother yaw enlarges and becomes warty in appearance. (wikipedia.org)

  • Yaws, endemic syphilis (bejel) , and pinta collectively constitute the endemic treponematoses. (medscape.com)
  • Similar to syphilis, yaws can persist for years as a chronic, relapsing disease. (medscape.com)
  • Yaws is caused by Treponema pallidum pertenue, a slender spirochete that is serologically indistinguishable from the spirochete T pallidum , which causes syphilis. (medscape.com)
  • Syphilis is spread by sexual contact, whereas bejel, yaws, and pinta are spread by any close contact (sexual or not) with the skin of an infected person-chiefly between children living in conditions of poor hygiene. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Also unlike syphilis, bejel, yaws, and pinta are not spread through contact with contaminated blood or from mother to fetus during pregnancy. (msdmanuals.com)
