Swollen and bowed shin bones (tibia) and cranial cavitations are often caused by diseases called <u>treponematoses.</u>
<h3>What is treponematose? </h3>
Historically, the term "treponematosis," also known as "treponemiasis," has been used to describe a group of nonvenereal illnesses, including endemic syphilis (also known as "nonvenereal syphilis"), which is caused by Treponema species that are morphologically and serologically identical to one another as well as the venereal syphilis-causing Treponema pallidum subspecies
At least 99% of the DNA in T. pallidum subspecies pertenue and endemicum is similar to that of T. pallidum subspecies pallidum. However, their clinical symptoms are different.
Children living in tropical, subtropical, or warm desert areas are most commonly exposed to Treponema species that are typically linked to nonvenereal disease through direct contact. T pallidum pallidum (syphilis), T pallidum pertenue (yaws), T pallidum endemicum (bejel or endemic syphilis), and T carateum are the pathogenic treponemes that affect people (pinta)
