The Austrian occupation of Botola-Herzegoving, with its semicolonial methods of administration, provoked a xrong national movement rating in the strastination ut Sarajevo in 1914 of the heir to the Austran throng tho Archduke Ferdinand. In 1918 after the first World War the newly created State of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes brought about no essential social or economic changes in Bosnia Herzegovina, and the much-hoped-for cultural and Industrul development made but very slow progress. Bomnia Herzegovina remained, In fact, only a sphere of interest in a common State, while religious and national differences became more and more scute. At the beginning of the second World War when the occupation was followed in this part of Europe us in others by a struggle for national liberation, which started on 27 Joly 1941 tho crisis threatening social, national and political disintegration and economlo stagnation was fur mounted. By paying a hugo toll in homen life (the war calmed 700 000 víc tims in Bosnia-Herzegovina alone) in muffering, and in material losses, the Federal People & Republic of Yugoslavia was created. The People s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina is recognized uodes the Yugoslav Consutution u i member of the Federal Repubhc with equal rights. The low cultural standard prevalent in Bosna Herzegovina during its histoneal evolution is best illustrated by the high literacy rate. The Austro-Hungarian occupauon found t population more than 95/ tlltterate, but compulsory primary-school education was introduced only in 1911 Actually not more than about 15 / of school-age children went to primary schools, and Moslem girls did not go to school at all. Omog to these facts, there mu no real progress in the cultural life of the population. After the first World War the population of Bomnia Herzegovina rus still about 87 / fluerite among the Moslem womocn, who had almost no rights and who lived in complete subjection to the men only 1 in 1 000 was htcrate. As late as 1939 56 4 / of the men and 876 / of the womca m Bosnia-Herzegovina were still illiterate.

34 PIDELDOLOGY AND CONTROL OF ENDEVIC SYPTUL Gummatous lesions appear most frequently on the skta, ia the oisopharyngeal region, and in the Osteo-articular system. Although frequent in children, they also occur in all age groups Affections of the bones and joints all for special attention, tome regions they appear in us many as 20/ of the cases, tho most frequent belog arthralgia and ostcoperyosotis (rec fig. 19). More than 80 / of the osteo-articular laion found in Bosnia were symptoms of late syphilir. The great majority of these were the result of syphilis acquired la infancy and not of congenital syphilus. The question of the involrement of the central nervous system in eodemlo typhilu long remained a major point of scientific interest, since it was muggested by Glock and his group 14, ILL, 17 that such involvement, especally that of the parenchymatou tisues, as in labes and paralyas, rarely if orer Occurred. Field investigations carried out in Bosna in 1934 and 1935 showed, however that all forms of neurosyphilis occur in eodemic syphilis, but that ałypical or stationery forms are frequently cocolatered. , # # Cardiovascular involvement is also rell koom in codemic-typhilis arcas, but no accurate investigations have so far been came out to deter mino the actual extent of its occurrence The ranty of congenital syphills is discussed in a subsequent section. Tertiary Ledon um Epidemiologtaal Index The occurrenco and frequency of tertiary symptoms vary with the treatment provided in different areas. Such vanations are described throughout the history of ryphiu, from the penod of the European pandemio up to the present time. If the feature of non-veneroal syphilis in various parts of the world today are compared with those appearing at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centunes, as well as in the 17th and 18th centunes when the disease wu codemsc la certata countries, tertiary tymptoms appear to have been very frequent when the discaso wau actively preading tertiary laions later became less frequent, although they will appear frequently in active endemto areas such as Bosnia. The early accounts of the disease during its activo periodi there suggest that as much u 50/ or more of all clinical manifestations observed were tertiary lesions. A similar dituation alsts today in rural foci of recent origin, while in aress wiero endemic syphills is on the wine the proportion of tertiary lesions i decreasing. In ach arcus the incidence of tertiary symptoms is no highet than that found 10 spordic van creal syphilis. Various attempts have been made to a plain why tertiary symptoms appear to have been frequent dunos those periods when syphilus mus spreading actively in Europe, and why on the other hand, they are relatively rare today in sporadze vezeical syphilis and to aplain why such lessons 35 KATULAL OUT OF ADDIC A repain fregnent la acttre endearic-ypolls creu, ich us Bocal, where palmtttre living coodittoos al aast The adstoot of bobopally cauerent alms of treponemos dermato tropk or peurotrophe-with selective adotty to certain types of this, bus tot been concurely demontnted, nor i ft Hikely that sthnologia peculiarities to the box conat for ruslations in the OCC Teace of dideredt forms of typhlit.

This is 40 EPIDE TOLOGY AND CONTROL OF ENDRIC SYPHILIS Wher, therefore, a host which is already in a stage of late or latent typhili I reafected, no prmary or secondary lesions will result however Iction of the tertiary type, accompanied by rapid tissue destruction, may appear It is likely that a similar situation also crists in other treponemal diseases, kuch as bejd and yah. Laboratory aparents bave shown that reinfection may result with out lesions developing at the actual site of inoculation hand that asymptomatic infection may occur , Magnuson & Rosenau bavo thed to analyse this type of relative immunity by determiniog quantitatively the number of treponemes which will bring about renfection under controlled conditions. They conclude that, which afymptomatic ruinfection occur, this indicates that a partial immunity alas sufficient to destroy the majority of the treponemes and to prevent a lesion from developios at the site of the inoculation, but not miildent to destroy all the treponemoc which will continue to penetrate into the hont. These asperiments havo shown that this modified reactivity lo the host may partiet even if treponemos do not survive in the body after infection." Thus tertury lesions may develop for one of tiro reason. First that may be reactivation of residual treponema is a seasided allergio organism, apsetting the parasite-host relationship This oocun In ontranted or inadequately treated sporadic venereal syphilis it may also occur 10 endemic areas, usually in the stationary or regresave period, but it is probably of secondary importance. Secondly tertiary lesions may develop from superinfection of the host which is already in an allergic state as a result of prior infection. In such cases, any residual dormant treponemes in the host aro Lidly to be of little importance the essential features are the host s changed reactivity and allergic gate. From the observations made and the results of the campaign In Bomnia, We may conclude that it is largely doc to tho environmental factors which influence the natural course of the disease in endemic areas, and which are the chief ause of reinfection and superinfection, that the late mantfestations of syphilis appear cariy particularly tertiary kesdons in already tensitized bosti, and that the frequency with which ach lesions occur represents an epidemiological indication or index of the state of activity of the rural eodemnic foci, and of whether their origin u more or less receot. Rarity of Cappottal Syphilis It was previously thought that the non-occurrence of congenital syphilis was one of the characteristia of codemic syphius The following faces, which are consequent upon the epidemiological and cavironmental condderations we have already advanced, help to coddate this problem.

Thus tho mortality-rato among chídren under one year of 10 bom of Infected mothers in 57/ higher than among children of healthy mother It will also be keen that loss of infuat lives due to syphilis es relatively mall, aod consequently the proportionate mortality from congenital syphilis may hardly be noticed despite the high endemm.c-syphilis infoction-nata. It is a strikdog feature of the crrvironmental conditions that the high infant mortality rato is somewhat compensated for by a high birth-rate. During tho present study it was found that infected mothers had an avera of 9 1 pregnanas up to the ape of 45 whereas healthy mothers had 10 averago of 8.8. This difference was balanced by the difference in mortality, and survival-rates of children to both groups fast mennoned. It might have been expected that regions with the highest prevalence of cademic syphilis would also show the lowest birth-rate, the highest mfant mortality-rate and the smallest increase in population but, although it may appear paradoxical, the highest birth-rate and the most marked population increase there often found in the most highly infected areas. The explana tion for this may be on the ono hand, that in the most highly infec ted areas conditions art very primitive and little or no restraint b 2550 cated with sexual life, with the result that conceptions are frequent and, on the other hand, that, sioce the infection is generally acquired in child hood, the out of diaplacental transmisson of treponemas is considerably reduced.

Each team had I serological field-laboratory at its disposal, manned by responsible technicians practised in carrying out stodiagnostic tests for syphilis. Qualitadre Kaho and Mencke (MER I) tests were carried out on all blood samples. It was not possible to perform quantitative as well as qualitative tests in all parts of the field quantitative tests were therefore confined to specual plot, research, or control areas. The average testing capacity of a Beld laboratory Amounted to approximately 600 serological tests a day Each team was made responsible for a district at a time. There was 40 average population of 30 000 to 40 000 lohabitants in each of the 19 die tricts so cumined up to tho end of 1951 The districts are divided into mmaller administrative unit (MNO), cach having approximately 8 to 10 villages and 2,500 to 3,500 inhabitants Each team had field cars at its duposal which would take the team members from their beadquarters to auxiliary sub-units or as was MOTO frequently the case, team members would have to walk for several bount through mountainous country to the hamlet in which a working base was established. Teams would generally be divided two team members working in cach villagt. Fidd facibnet would be improvised at a community centre or in a suitable bouxe or but. The inbabitants had always been informed in advance dther by the patiopal authorities, through existing local organizations, or in preliminary conferences, of the purpose of the work. This type of health education proved very valuable. The blood amplas collected during the day were canned by special courier to pathering points by the road where a car would take them to the laboratory for examination. Blood Rumptes always reached the laboratory on the day tbey were dram 10d, even dung hot fummer months, haemolysis was very rarely observed. Al cases of syphilis detected dinrally were treated immediately On the basis of serological cuminations arried out on the entire population in the area, treatment was also given to those persons with positive serological reactions. Six to aght days were usually required to cumine systemikally the population of each administrative unit (MNO), while the time devoted to treatment wsied according the schedule used.

PAM was used regardless of the stage of the disease and its value in the treatment of syphilis, in view of its pop-toxicity its rapid effect, the short period of treatment and the faality of administration, was confirmed dunng the present field campaign Combined penicilia and arsenic treatment was got used, Darias the Inital stages of the campaign, however some groups of patients were treated with PAM combined with bismuth. Subsequent control studies of these groups indicated that the results were not different from those obtained with PAM alone. The combined treatment regimen was therefore soon abandoned, and PAM alono was mubsequently used. The treatment schedule used for adults was 3 600 000 to 4,200 000 units, given to atx or seven injections of 600,000 units of PAM administered daily or every second day More recently investigations have been carried out in bmited areas in the use of a smaller number of injection In two administrative areas the treatment was a single injection of PAM, one group receiving 1 500 000 units and another 3 600 000 units tho will be dealt with in greater detall when clinical and wrological results are considered. The criteria for re-treatment were as follows (1) clinical grounds clinical relapse or reinfection (2) scrological grounds (a) petosteni poddve reaction to serological test for syphilis (STS) at re-examination 8 to 12 months after initial treatmeot (b) increased STS titre on te-examination (c) negative STS titre becoming positive. The ro-treatment schedulo ured was usually identical with the origioal treatment schedule, except when a subsequent control uninston showed scroresigance.

In addition to the comple already given, he may mention the systemato campaign carried out in the district of Loparo from the end of February to May 1949 during which 3,269 cases of syphilis prete dixcovered and treated, a prevalence of 123% of the infected cases, 221 showed symptoms of carly infectious syphilis When the first follow up examination was carned out 14 months later 35 cases of early infectious syphils were found, of which 32 were new and 3 were relapses or reinfections.

When the campaign started, it was believed that the chief risk in perpetuating tho disease camo from Infectious relapses in Cases where treatment had failed.

When the campaign started, it was believed that the chief risk in perpetuating the disease caune from infectious relapses in cases where treatment had failed.

Ia the three administrative units so far anmoed (Cehe, Koral, and Teolat) no new cases of syphilis have been found, while seropontivity has decreased to 28/ of the 11,250 inhabitants examined. If the remaining Feropositive cases in this group, the majority of which received re-treatment for reasons of expediency are separated into agegroups, it is significant that only 43/ were between 0 and 10 years of age, and 10.1 / between 10 and 20 and that this proportion increased progres Avely with age, so that more than 66.5 / of scropositive cases were found In the ago-group over 40. Thus syphilis morbidity as rapidly decreasing In the lower age-groups while it remains moro stationary in the higher although the relative infection-rate in the higher age groups as well is considerably lower than before the campaign started. This augurt well for the future of the long-term control of endemic syphilis in this area. Since the beginning of the campaige, the reservoirs of infection havo decreased in most arcas in much the same proportions as in the district of Lopare. In the district of Gracanica, however the decrease was less daarty marked, as the onginal 1948 survey was incompleto and a large number (973) of early typhilus cases were found. However the results have ulu mately become fairly satisfactory cven in this area. When the area control camination was carried out, it was found that the reservor of infection had decreased by 71.5/ the second control took place 38 months after the initial examination and, as more thorough work had been dodo lo the internal, particularly in the treatment of contacts, the decrease is now of some 97 / It is interesting to note the change during the campaign in the proportion of early syphilis cases to the total number of scropositive cases, representing the decrease to the reservoir of infection. In the district of Gracanica, 42,4 / of Infected cases were carly syphiitk.

64 EPIDDIOLOGY AND CONTROL OF EXDELIC SYPHILIS It is possible that members of a family may escape the disease despite the appearance of fresh infections in their midst, but practical experience has shown that this u not very likely An evaluation of the epidemiological importance of treating contacts # made by a close study of 96 families with a total of 150 children under 10 years of age, race these are they who are considered to be the most exposed to infection in the family and to whom priority should therefore be given lo receiving abortivo treatment. All were clinically and serologically begative at the lutal camination but belonged to families with casts of early infectious syphilis. They were divided into two groups the first included 72 children, cach of whom was głyen 1,200,000 units of PAM at the Ame time as the infected relatives received regular treatment as a control measure, the second group of 78 children was left untreated. The results, as found in the follow-up camination after ex months, are ubulated below Trend T Clinlastly and retologically podthre Clinically and orologically pepathe 0 72 28 50 21. 172 Toul 72 78 150 This statistically significant difference between the two groups empha sizes the epidemiological necessity for the abortive treatment of family contacts of the chain of infection is to be directively severed. During the initial period of the campaign in Bosnia abortive treat ment was not given but, once its value had been demonstrated in ind?- vidual families, it was systematically applied. Its cumulative epidemiological effect is further emphasized by the results in villages and larger arcu. Relaptes, Refrſections, and Seroredance The distinction between true relapses or scroresistance and reinfection is hardly possible on clinical or laboratory grounds alone it must be mado largely on epidemiological cvidence. It is also evident that, since the environmental conditions in which endemic syphilis prevails make the risk of reinfection comiderable, it is not possible to evaluate the results of penicillin therapy in series of patients by the ammulative statistical pro cedure * used to sporadic syphils unless contacts are treated. It was observed that seological or clinical * relapse was generally found only in those families in which new infectious cases of typhilis appeared, usually before the relapses themsetres. Furthermore, sera restance * sometimes observed after regular PAM treatment of early syphilis, pas rarely encountered in families whicre a new infection had not appeared

66 EPIDED TOLOGY AND CONTROL OF ENDEMIC SYPHILIS When the first control examination was carried out seven months later the mother had symptoms of secondary syphilis (papules on the tongue and toosils) with a strongly positive STS titre two of the treated children (Nos. ! and 4) were clinically and secologically negative and the serological titre in the third child had improved In the meantime, a fresh infection had appeared m the 7 year-old boy (No 2) who developed contaglow symptoms of secondary syphilis (mucous patchos) before cinical symptoms of secondary syphilis (“ relapse) appeared in the mother Throughout this time the father wu absent and had no contact pith the family The mother and tho ipfected child once again received the samo quantity of PAM but, when the fecond control examination took place, it was found that the tro children (Nos, 1 and 4) who had received treatment and had been serologically and clinically negative at the first control examination had non developed secondary syphilis (clinical relapse) So far as the mother and the 7 year-old boy were concerned, tho serological findings remained unchanged, while in the younger child (No 3) the titro was found to be higher than before. The explanation can only be that as a reservoir of infection still remained in the family-for the contacts had not been treated- . fresh infection had developed. One might be led to believe that adequate penicillin therapy had no effect on warly syphilis and that seroresistance remained over a year after treatment. However when the active sources of infection in the family had been completely suppressed by treatment of all the infected members, and abortive treatment had been given to those exposed to the risk of infection and who might be in the incubation period, very mtisfactory results were observed seven months later and no further coses of “relapse " or "scroresistance resulted. In another case, the initial camination disclosed that two members of the family (Nos, 1 and 7) had Latent syphilis (ig. 37)A year after treatment with 4,200,000 units of PAM, their serologiaal reactions were strongly positive, while the younger brother (No 7) had developed clinical manifestations of secondary syphilis in the form of papules in the oral and anal region. These might be loterpreted to represent serological and clinical relapse. Before this happened, however two children, aged 5 and 6 (Nos. 3 and 4) and, later on, the boy of 15 (No. 5) became infected -all of them with recondary manifestations. No new infections or relapses occurred in this family after regular treatment of u? Infocted members and abortivo treatment of family contacts. When a control examination disclosed « caso of early syphitis 8 to 12 months following treatment with 3 600 000 to 4,200 000 units of PAM OT & case where positive rerological finding remained unchanged, it mus gencrally found that in lnfectious caso had remained lo the family or that # Dew Infection bad been introduced.

78 EDENOLOGY AND CONTROL OF ENDELEC STEIN In our experience it is possible noder favourable conditions, uod in limited areas, to cradicate the infections reservoir completely within a short period of time by mau treatment. In other cases, the disease can be checked and the infectious reservoir reduced to a minimum over & some what longer period and ultimately eliminated. In both fastances true relapres and reinfections, and reintroduction of the disease from other eruus, must be watched for The epidemiological dtuation cannot conceiv ably return to its original form after one or two follow up examinations have been made, but constant fupervision of previously endemic areas is necessary as part of the long-term programme.

More recently Gaiman' has reported that leshops can bo produced in hamsters by yans treponemes but not usually by syphila straies. In our hands each of the 12 newly isolated strains has at one time or another produced spezic, local ukerated lesions lo hamstay after otra dermal inoculation to the groin or scrotum or into the tissues of the lip. These lesions do not differ significantly in character according to the species of treponemes ipoculated but, from our experience us a whole, it may bo tald that the yaws and bejel treponemes hare produced lessons in a bluber proportion of the hamsters Inoculated than have the Dew syphis traine Morcover mon of tho hamsters which have developed very atensive lesions have been inoculated with either yam or bejel trepodemeh. Sloce a number of factors, much as the temperature of the environment and the uize of the Inoculum have not been adequately controlled it cooot be said at this time that there is a real difference in the behaviour of this animal species to different strains of treponema. Almost without exception, however motle treponemes can be demonstrated in the lymph-nodes of bamsters inoculated with syphilis as hell us with you and bejet trepotentes It of initrent, however that, unlike the lesions induced in rabbits by T pallidur, the lepons in hamsters exhibit little, I any induration, ulthough they aro customarlly swarming with treponemen. What may bo the biological basis of this vartation in the response of these two animal spectes to the same strain of T pallidum is not knowlagala, it is possible that the hyaluronic acid hyaluronidaso system may be lovolved. or eight hamsters inoculated with the Bomla A strain, five developed maternal darkfield-poutivo lesions, and treponemies were demonstrated by darkfield camination of the lnguinal nodos of the other three. The Bosnia B Hrun produced lesions in five of seves hamster hocolated, and each of the other two animals aboned mouto treponemes upon darkfield txamination of the inguinal lympb-codes.

These lesions do not differ significantly in character according to the species of treponemes inoculated but, from our experience as a whok, It may bo said that the gaps and bejel treponencs have produced lesions in a higher proportion of the hamsters inoculated thao have tho den syphilis strains. Morcover most of the hamster which have developed very extensivo lesions have been inoculated with either yan's or bejel treponemah. Suco number of factors, such as tho temperature of the environment and the aizo of tho inoculum, have not been adequately controlled, it cannot bo ald at this time that there is a real difference in the behaviour of this animal spead to differcat strains of treponemes Almost withont exception, bowever motilo treponema can be demonstrated in the lymph-noda of hamster inoculated with syphilis as well as with yan and befel treponemos It is of interest, however that, unlike the lesions lodaced in rabbius by T palliduon, the lesions to hamsten abibit little, If any foduridon, although they are customarily twarming with treponemes What may be tho biological basis of this ranation in the response of these two animal spears to the samo stala of T pallidion is not known again, I possible that the hyaluronic-tod hyaluronidaso system may be lovotved. or cight hamsters inoculated with the Bosnia a strun five developed external darkfield-positivo lesions, and trepotemes here demonstrated by darkfield examination of the inguinal nodes of the other three.

These methods are exstatually those employed in terting other Organisats by the dilution method, with special adaptations to the more difficult problem of assay against the treponemal group of organisms, as described elsewhere." Again employlog the Nichols strain for reference, it has been found that the amount of penicilin which will render 50 / of the treponemes nonnotite in 18 houn, using control tubes for purposes of comparison, is of the order of 0 0019 # per mi of tat material. The corresponding figure for Bosnia A L 00013 and for Bosnia B, 00012 both of which are well with the limits of variation of the method. It is of Interest, too that all other straip, tested fell within these general limits It seem fair to conclude, therefore, that the Bospla strains of endemic syphilos do not very aguificantly in their pernicillin sensitivity from other struna of treponema solated in other parts of the world and from various clinfcal syndromes. These results sugrest that types of penicillin treatment which are found to be effective to other treponemal diseases will be equally cffective in the endemic syphills of Bosnia. Should ugnificant clocal differ ences bo poted between the reaction of the host in endemic syphils and that commonly observed in vedereally acquired syphulus, it appean that they may best be explained by epidemiological or cocological facton rather than by important biological differences in the labortlog treponemies SUMMARY RÉSUMÉ Two gruns of treponema, deslimated Deux pouches do trépondres, depot- "Boula Aud Botnla B were attablah mde Bonnie Act Bosnio B, ootab od la laborutory canals which wero Gown moculées à dos alunor do Laboratoiro from Surnjavo Yo poslavia, to Baltimore, qui ont Hé envoyta per arkon da Sanalero Md, USA, were that boolopaal rela (You postavke) i Baltimore, Md.
