Synonyms infection by Treponema carateum; endemic treponematosis caused by Treponema carateum; Tina; Mal del pinto; Lota; Empeines; Carate; Azul; pinta; Pinta
Definition
An endemic bacterial infection caused by Treponema carateum. It is manifested with chronic cutaneous lesions. The early lesions consist of papules and erythematous plaques. The late lesions consist of hypochromic, achromic, hyperpigmented and atrophic lesions. The late skin lesions may cause destruction of bones and cartilage and produce disfiguring changes.|NCBI Taxonomy appears to lack an entry for T carateum
