A66.6 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of bone and joint lesions of yaws. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code A66 is used to code Simple Yaws

yaws (also known as frambesia tropica, thymosis, polypapilloma tropicum, parangi, bouba, frambösie, and pian) is a tropical infection of the skin, bones and joints caused by the spirochete bacterium treponema pallidum pertenue. the disease begins with a round, hard swelling of the skin, 2 to 5 centimeters in diameter. the center may break open and form an ulcer. this initial skin lesion typically heals after three to six months. after weeks to years, joints and bones may become painful, fatigue may develop, and new skin lesions may appear. the skin of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet may become thick and break open. the bones (especially those of the nose) may become misshapen. after five years or more large areas of skin death with subsequent scarring may occur.
