Disease relevance of Treponemal Infections

Osteoarthritis of the TFJ was also found in a case of multiple exostoses and in a specimen with Bejel disease [1].
Within the wide range of immunological abnormalities occurring in lepromatous leprosy (LL), antiphospholipid antibodies unrelated to treponemal infection, the so-called biological false positive test for syphilis (BFP), have long been recognized [2].

High impact information on Treponemal Infections

Cyclophosphamide-sensitive activity of suppressor T cells during treponemal infection [3].
Treponemal infection coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus [4].

Gene context of Treponemal Infections

For this purpose, two groups of LL patients with similar clinical features and no evidence of treponemal infection were studied, one group with BFP (n = 21) and the other without BFP (n = 13) [2].
