Pinta (disease) Pinta (also known as Azul, Carate, Empeines, Lota, Mal del Pinto and Tina) is a human skin disease endemic to Mexico, Central America, and South America caused by infection with a spirochete, Treponema pallidum carateum, which is morphologically and serologically indistinguishable from the bacterium that causes syphilis.[1]
Other diseases that produce the same symptoms of lota are syphilis and tinea versicolor. Skin discoloration, itching and lesions are common dermal conditions that come with these diseases. The reason for the striking similarities lies in the root cause, the Treponema pallidum bacterium, which causes syphilis.ther diseases that produce the same symptoms of lota are syphilis and tinea versicolor.
