Treponematosis is a term used to individually describe any of the diseases caused by four members of the bacterial genus Treponema. The four diseases are collectively referred to as treponematoses:[1]
Syphilis (Treponema pallidum pallidum)
Yaws (Treponema pallidum pertenue)
Bejel (Treponema pallidum endemicum)
Pinta (Treponema carateum)
Traditional laboratory tests cannot distinguish the treponematoses.[2] However, sequence differences among the T. pallidum subspecies have been identified. Molecular approaches involving PCR to identify these sequences are being developed.[3]
