Primary lesions of pinta - what does this mean
Pinta is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete treponema carateum. it is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person's skin, usually through broken skin or mucous membranes. primary lesions of pinta appear as small, round, painless, red-brown macules that may become scaly and eventually form a crusty, wart-like lesion.
What happens during the disease - primary lesions of pinta
Primary lesions of pinta are caused by the treponema carateum bacteria, which is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person. the bacteria enter the skin through abrasions or cuts, and cause a scaly, wart-like rash that may be asymptomatic or cause mild itching. if left untreated, the lesions can become more scaly and raised in appearance, and may spread to other parts of the body.
