Clinical Information
A systemic non-venereal infection of the tropics caused by treponema
pallidum subspecies pertenue.
An endemic, infectious, nonvenereal disease in humans that presents
mainly in children younger than 15 years. The disease occurs primarily
in warm, humid, tropical areas of africa, asia, south america, and oceania,
among poor rural populations where conditions of overcrowding and poor
sanitation prevail. Infection with treponema pertenue, a subspecies of
treponema pallidum, causes the disease.

Pinta [carate] A67- >
Clinical Information
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.
An infectious disease of the skin caused by treponema carateum that
occurs only in the western hemisphere. Age of onset is between 10
and 20 years of age. This condition is characterized by marked changes
in the skin color and is believed to be transmitted by direct
person-to-person contact.
Relapsing fevers A68- >
Includes
recurrent fever
Clinical Information
An acute infection characterized by recurrent episodes of pyrexia
with asymptomatic intervals of apparent recovery. This condition
is caused by spirochetes of the genus borrelia. It is transmitted
by the bites of either the body louse (pediculus humanus corporis),
for which humans are the reservoir, or by soft ticks of the genus
ornithodoros, for which rodents and other animals are the principal
reservoirs.
