An alternative medical spelling of frambesia; a tropical infection also known as yaws.
Variant of 'frambesia' using the Latin '-ia' ending with French 'framboise' root. The 'o' variant represents different Latinization preferences used by medical taxonomists in different regions and time periods.
Medical dictionaries sometimes list multiple spellings of the same disease name because they were coined in different countries by doctors who Latinized the French word differently—it's like linguistic fossils showing how science was internationally collaborative even centuries ago.
