Endemic syphilis and similar conditions are compared in this paper with yaws. Both are non-venereal and endemic, and they have very similar epidemiological characteristics. There is also considerable similarity in the clinical manifestations at the various stages of yaws and endemic syphilis, the differences that do appear being mainly due to different environmental and living conditions. No antigenic or immunogenic differences between syphilis and yaws have yet been demonstrated, and the sensitivity of both to penicillin is the same. Control measures for both diseases may be based on similar principles.The author considers the treponematoses to be closely related infections, and stresses the "unitarian" view put forward by various writers.
本文将地方性梅毒及类似病症与雅司病进行了比较。两者均为非性病且呈地方性流行，具有非常相似的流行病学特征。雅司病和地方性梅毒各阶段的临床表现也有相当大的相似性，所出现的差异主要是由于不同的环境和生活条件所致。梅毒和雅司病之间尚未证实存在抗原性或免疫原性差异，且两者对青霉素的敏感性相同。两种疾病的控制措施可基于相似的原则。作者认为密螺旋体病是密切相关的感染，并强调了各位作者提出的“单一病因”观点。
