RESUMO

Yaws, although occurring in parts of Jamaica, is much rarer than in the past. Sera from children, 7-15 years old, attending primary school in areas in which the incidence of yaws differs, were examined by VDRL and RPCF tests. The proportion reactive at the schools ranged from 1.6 percent to 27.6 percent and 4.0 percent to 34.1 percent respectively. Clinical yaws was seen in only one of the sero-reactors; most of the positive tests were in children with either latent or cured yaws. It is suggested that the RPCF, which showed a higher proportion of reactors than the VDRL test, measures antibodies against yaws different from those measured by the VDRL test in these circumstances. The immediate and long-term problems of sero-reactivity in a country where both yaws and syphilis are present are discssed (Summary)
