Late lesions of pinta - what does this mean
Pinta is caused by infection with the spirochete treponema carateum. the disease is characterized by the development of late lesions, which are usually found on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. these lesions typically appear as brown or black patches, and may be accompanied by itching, redness, and swelling. if left untreated, the lesions can eventually lead to scarring and discoloration of the skin.
What happens during the disease - late lesions of pinta
Late lesions of pinta are caused by the spirochetal bacterium treponema carateum. the bacteria are spread through direct contact with an infected individual or through contact with contaminated objects. the bacteria invade the skin and cause a rash that is initially pink or reddish-brown in color. over time, the rash may become darker and scaly. in some cases, the rash may become wart-like and cause scarring. left untreated, the infection can lead to disfigurement and other complications.
