KERATOSIS PALMARIS ET PLANTARIS DUE TO FRAMBESIA

KERATOSIS PALMARIS ET PLANTARIS DUE TO FRAMBESIA Abstract Late lesions of yaws affecting the palms and soles have been reported in the literature, but the authors who made these observations do not give us a clear and concise idea of these lesions.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE The literature is replete with references to other types of tertiary lesions of yaws, but I have found only two articles dealing with tertiary lesions of the palms and soles.

Abstract

Abstract Late lesions of yaws affecting the palms and soles have been reported in the literature, but the authors who made these observations do not give us a clear and concise idea of these lesions. This article is an attempt to give a clear picture of these conditions so common in countries where yaws is prevalent. Only lesions affecting the palms and soles accompanied by a hyperkeratosis will be discussed. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE The literature is replete with references to other types of tertiary lesions of yaws, but I have found only two articles dealing with tertiary lesions of the palms and soles. Castellani1 calls attention to a "peculiar pitted appearance of the palms of the hands." This condition, he states, is manifested in the "latter part of the secondary stage" as "hard, round, flattened papules or small nodules, having a thick, hard epidermic plug in the center. The References 1. Castellani and Chalmers: Manual of Tropical Medicine , Ed. 3, New York, William Wood & Co., p. 1550. 2. Howard, R.: The Importance of Tertiary Yaws , J. Tropical M. 18:25, 1915. 3.
