Framösie is a non-venereal infectious disease from the group of tropical treponematoses that occurs in tropical regions and is caused by the bacterium Treponema pertenue .
Disease name
The name Frambösie or Framboesia tropica for this disease goes back to the French word framboise for raspberry , which characterizes the appearance of the skin changes caused.
Various other names are common for this disease, besides Polypapilloma tropicum and Buba in German raspberry disease or raspberry pox . In English, the disease is also Yaws called French pian , Spanish Pian , Portuguese pià or bouba, malay her name Parangi or Paru.
Pathogen
The causative agent of yaws is the bacterium Treponema pertenue from the family of spirochetes , which was first detected by Aldo Castellani in 1905 . Transmission occurs through direct skin-to-skin contact or insect bites (e.g. meat flies ), often in early childhood or in adolescents. The poorer sections of the population are particularly affected, presumably due to cramped living conditions.
Epidemiology
Before the WHO's widespread therapy campaigns in the 1950s, around 50 to 100 million people were infected with Treponema pertenue . In the 1980s , fewer than 500 cases occurred annually in the Western Hemisphere. The WHO estimate from 1995 assumed 2 to 5 million patients. In 2007 it was reported that in the absence of adequate prevention, this epidemic was spreading again among the rural poor, particularly in Africa, Latin America and Asia. In 2015, the number of annual illnesses in 13 countries was given as 65,000; However, it can be assumed that not all cases, especially not all affected countries, were recorded. 84% of the recorded cases occurred in only three states ( Papua New Guinea , Solomon Islands , and Ghana ). The number of cases reported for 2016 was 33,891 for the countries of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands 18,082, Indonesia 2762, Ivory Coast 1581 and Ghana 1481. In 2017, the number of annual illnesses was estimated at 46,000. In 2018, 14 states reported cases of the disease to WHO, with India officially declared clear of the disease in 2016.
Symptoms
First stage
After an incubation period of three to four weeks, usually forms on the lower leg in children in the face and in lactating women and on the chest as, primary lesion is a painless, itchy, oozing "raspberry-like" Papel sometimes a painless - ulcer - from which is accompanied by regional lymph node swelling .
Second stage
A few weeks after their healing, papules appear in the second stage, the so-called secondary stage, also on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, which are similar to the primary lesion, but are often superinfected .
Third stage
In the so-called latency stage , patients are symptom - free for five to ten years, but recurrences can occur.
Fourth stage
The fourth or "tertiary stage" of the disease is characterized by gumma-like changes in the bones and joints that lead to their destruction, so that z. B. the shin can be deformed to the saber sheath tibia . A cleft lip and palate or a saddle nose , as in syphilis , can also develop.
therapy
The disease can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin with good prospects of recovery. A 2012 study in Papua New Guinea showed that a single tablet of the antibiotic azithromycin worked as well as a penicillin injection in children . This made the therapy much easier, since the penicillin has to be administered by injection. In 2012, the WHO then decided on a strategy to eradicate the disease by 2020. The success of these efforts is threatened by the fact that the bacterium can become resistant to azithromycin.
