The incidence of yaws in 533 pygmies from the Central African Republic was surveyed. It appeared that there is still an impressive incidence of yaws in pygmy children who have poor hygiene. Laboratory investigations showed that the Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay is often negative during the first stage of the disease, while the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test is positive and, thus, more sensitive.
对来自中非共和国的533名俾格米人的雅司病发病率进行了调查。结果显示,卫生条件差的俾格米儿童中雅司病的发病率仍然很高。实验室调查表明,梅毒螺旋体血细胞凝集试验在疾病的第一阶段往往呈阴性,而荧光密螺旋体抗体吸收试验呈阳性,因此更敏感。
