ICD-11 code : 1C1D.1;
Preferred Label : Secondary yaws;
ICD-11 definition : Secondary yaws results from lymphatic and haematogenous spread of Treponema pallidum
subsp. pertenue spirochaetes from the initial inoculation site and appears from a
few weeks to 2 years after the primary infection. The commonest initial symptoms are
non-specific and include arthralgia and malaise. Secondary skin lesions consist of
multiple papules and nodules similar to the initial lesion but smaller. They may be
localised, regional or generalized; they may ulcerate and on moist areas may mimic
syphilitic condylomata lata. Hyperkeratotic plaques on the palms and soles may develop
painful fissures and secondary infection, resulting in a characteristic 'crab-like'
gait.;
