Pinta is a human
skin disease endemic to
Mexico,
Central America, and
South America. It is caused by infection with a
spirochete,
Treponema carateum, which is
morphologically and
serologically indistinguishable from the organism that causes
syphilis.
Pinta initially presents as a raised
papule, followed by a generalized eruption of flat, reddened areas, and is followed by the development of bluish coloration and a subsequent loss of pigmentation. Unlike syphilis, it's transmitted by nonsexual skin contact, often between children living in conditions of poor hygiene.
The disease can be treated with
penicillin,
tetracycline, or
chloramphenicol, and can be prevented through contact tracing by
public health officials.
