Assessment of the role of Haemophilus ducreyi coinfection on outcomes of Yaws treatment in the southwestern part of Ghana

Abstract

These results support the ongoing use of a single dose azithromycin in yaws elimination programmes, as evidenced by the healing rates observed. Nonetheless, greater focus should be directed toward improving diagnostic and treatment approaches for individual patients. Further research is necessary to better understand the aetiology of cutaneous ulcers in yaws-endemic regions.
