AB  - |PrintEndemic  Treponematoses  at  a  GlancePinta,  yaws,  and  endemic  syphilis  (bejel)  are  nonvenereal  infections  usually  acquired  by  skin-to-skin-contact.They  are  caused  by  Treponema  pallidum  subspecies  or  closely  related  treponemes.They  are  mostly  endemic  in  rural  areas  within  tropical  and  subtropical  regions  of  selected  countries.Like  venereal  syphilis,  these  infections  are  clinically  characterized  by  three  successive  stages  separated  by  periods  of  latency.Although  not  fatal,  they  are  disfiguring  and  disabling.Penicillin  therapy  is  highly  effective  for  both  the  cutaneous  and  systemic  lesions.
