“…Treponemal disease is a group of infections caused by a spirochete bacterium that primarily affects the skin but can also affect bones and other organs (Hook and Marra 1992). Four diseases including yaws (Treponema pallidum pertenue), pinta (T. carateum), venereal syphilis (T. pallidum pallidum) and endemic syphilis (T. pallidum endemicum) have similar bacterium morphology and share similar pathogenesis (Hook and Marra 1992;Marks et al 2014;Willcox 1974). Pinta is the only treponemal disease that does not affect bone (Willcox 1974).…”

“…It has been postulated that Treponema pallidum originally arose from free-living treponemes found in the mud that came to be carried commensally by man (1). Today, 3 treponemes are known to be pathogenic to man, namely: T. pallidum, the cause of venereal and nonvenereal syphilis; T. pertenue, the cause of yaws; and T. carateum, the cause of pinta.…”

“…In late (tertiary) pinta, disfiguring pigmentary changes, achromia, skin atrophy, and hyperkeratoses are the main features (Figs. 3,4). The degree of pigmentation of skin lesions can be different in one and the same patient, resulting in a mottled aspect of the skin that often persists lifelong.…”
