摘要
A 31/2‐year‐old boy, born and living in Indonesia, experienced disseminated skin tesions and an uicerated, crusted, papillomatous lesion on the prepuce of hts penis. This location suggested venereal syphitis, but on clinical, seroiogic, and epidemiologic grounds a diagnosis of early yaws was made. This treponemal disease shouid be considered in children who have traveled to or migrated from remote tropical regions, and who have unusual skin lesions in combination with a positive treponemal serology. Although yaws is considered a rare and exotic disease in the United States and Europe, it is stiii widespread in some parts of the world. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
