“…pertenue , causes a multistage infection transmitted by nonsexual contact with the exudates from active lesions. 1,2 Although a multinational mass eradication campaign in the 1950s greatly reduced its global incidence, [3][4][5] a resurgence of yaws has occurred during the past decade in western and central Africa, southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. This resurgence emphasizes the need for reliable diagnostic criteria.…”

A global resurgence of yaws in developing countries highlights the need for reliable diagnostic criteria for this neglected infection. We conducted a clinical and serologic survey of 233 children less than 15 years of age who had clinically suspected yaws. A total of 138 (59%) cases were confirmed serologically, and 10 of 12 primary stage cases showed positive results for Treponema pallidum by a polymerase chain reaction assay that has not yet been validated for identification of yaws. A high proportion of cases (46%) were in the secondary stage; 92% of them had osteoarticular involvement, and only 24% had a Venereal Disease Research Laboratory titer greater than 1:32.

AbstrakKasus frambusia yang tercatat di Puskesmas Bondo Kodi Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) terus meningkat dari 174 kasus tahun 2009 menjadi 327 kasus pada tahun 2010 dan 369 kasus pada tahun 2011. Pada tahun 2012, frambusia tertinggi terjadi di Desa Mali Iha di Kecamatan Bondo Kodi dengan 43 kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor lingkungan, perilaku, dan pengetahuan masyarakat yang berhubungan dengan kejadian penyakit frambusia pada anakanak. Penelitian observasional ini menggunakan rancangan studi kasuskontrol, dengan kondisi sarana air bersih (SAB), perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS), dan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang frambusia sebagai variabel bebas. Sampel penelitian adalah 30 orang anak yang menderita frambusia (kasus) dan 30 orang anak sehat (kontrol) yang diambil dengan metode purposive sampling. Data dan informasi mengenai SAB, praktik PHBS, dan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang frambusia didapatkan dengan observasi dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji kai kuadrat. Ditemukan, secara statistik kejadian frambusia berhubungan bermakna dengan kondisi SAB (OR = 15,16 dan nilai p = 0,035) dan PHBS (OR = 7 dan nilai p = 0,048), tetapi tidak berhubungan dengan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang frambusia (nilai p = 0,283). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kondisi SAB dan PHBS merupakan faktor risiko frambusia. giene and health behavior, and community knowledge about frambusia as independent variables. Samples were 30 children with frambusia (cases) and 30 healthy children (control) who were selected using purposive sampling. Data and information on environmental condition, behavioral practices, and community knowledge were collected by interview and direct observation and were analyzed using chi-square test. It was found that statistically the frambusia cases were associated significantly with the condition of clean water source (OR = 15.16, p value = 0.035) and personal hygiene and healthy behavior (OR = 7, p value = 0.048), but were not associated with community knowledge (p value = 0.283). It concludes that condition of clean water sources and personal hygiene and healthy behavior are risk factors of frambusia in children.Keywords: Frambusia, knowledge, personal hygiene and healthy behavior, clean water source PendahuluanFrambusia adalah penyakit menular menahun dan kambuh-kambuhan yang disebabkan oleh kuman Treponema pallidum subspesies pertenue.

“…A conclusão de que era necessário mais do que a aplicação de uma injeção para curar a bouba, conforme havia anunciado JK em seu programa de governo, não surpreendeu os médicos. (Asiedu, 2008a). No continente americano, países que haviam dado a doença como erradicada ou controlada, no início dos anos 1960, voltaram a apresentar casos de bouba na década de 1970.…”

Analisa o Programa de Erradicação da Bouba, desenvolvido no Brasil entre 1956 e 1961. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, durante a qual iniciou-se o uso de antibióticos, um novo método parecia possibilitar a erradicação de treponematoses em curto prazo: a aplicação de injeções de penicilina em dose única. Sob o clima de valorização do controle das endemias rurais no país, a organização de uma campanha contra a bouba tornou-se possível. Os trabalhos, realizados pelo Departamento Nacional de Endemias Rurais, encontraram uma população desnutrida e faminta, o que colocou em dúvida as pretensões da campanha e as concepções de saúde e desenvolvimento da época.
