Intermediate lesions of pinta - what does this mean
Intermediate lesions of pinta occur when the spirochete treponema carateum, which causes the disease, penetrates the skin and multiplies in the dermis. this causes the skin to become thick and scaly, and eventually leads to the development of lesions that are reddish-brown in color.
What happens during the disease - intermediate lesions of pinta
Intermediate lesions of pinta are caused by infection with the parasite treponema carateum. this bacterium is spread through direct contact with an infected person or objects that have come in contact with their skin, such as clothing or towels. once the bacteria have entered the body, they can cause a localized infection in the skin or mucous membranes, leading to the formation of characteristic lesions. these lesions may cause itching, burning, and pain, and can be accompanied by fever, headaches, and enlarged lymph nodes. if left untreated, the lesions can spread and cause more severe symptoms.
