    Area of Science:

    • Tropical medicine
    • Infectious diseases
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Yaws (Frambesia tropica) has historically been a significant health issue in Suriname.
    • Early 20th-century campaigns using salvarsan and later penicillin (1945) dramatically reduced yaws prevalence.
    • A resurgence of yaws cases, characterized by attenuated symptoms, has been observed since 1970.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the current prevalence and geographical spread of yaws in Suriname.
    • To inform the planning and implementation of a new public health intervention campaign.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive survey was conducted across various districts of Suriname.
    • Data collection focused on identifying yaws cases and mapping their distribution.

    Main Results:

    • Yaws remains prevalent in urban populations in certain Suriname districts.
    • The resurgence indicates a need for updated public health strategies.
    • Observed symptoms are milder than previously documented.

    Conclusions:

    • A renewed public health approach is necessary to control the resurgence of yaws in Suriname.
    • Understanding the current epidemiology is vital for targeted interventions.
