Presentation
Numerous s pirochetes are present in the epidermis, neutrophils invade the skin, plasma cells are prominent in the dermis, and there is a syphilitic vasculitis. Serologic tests for syphilis are positive, but the clinical presentation is different. [histopathology-india.net]
The disease was eradicated in Europe in the 20th century, but it is still present in some rural regions of the Arabian Peninsula, Southwest Asia, and North Africa. 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Presentation Bejel usually begins in childhood as a small mucous patch, often on the interior of the mouth, followed by the appearance of raised, eroding lesions on the limbs and trunk. [wikilove.com]

Generalized Lymphadenopathy
Generalized lymphadenopathy is uncommon, since the inoculum is small. See the image below. Primary stage lesions. Secondary stage This stage usually consists of macerated, eroded patches on the lips, the tongue, and the tonsils. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Patches on the mucous membranes, angular stomatitis, nonitchy skin eruptions, and generalized lymphadenopathy are the most important early manifestations. [genome.jp]
These include low-grade fever, malaise, and generalized lymphadenopathy. Some disability may result from involvement of palms and soles. Periosteitis and rarefaction are more extreme in children. [drmhijazy.com]
Clinical manifestations include slight fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, malaise, and a mucocutaneous rash. The rash initially appears on the palms and soles and eventually spreads to other areas. [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]

Eczema
During the early stages, features in endemic syphilis resemble a number of dermatoses, mainly eczema, mycoses, psoriasis, leprosy, herpes simplex, perlèche, and condylomata acuminata. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Cutaneous Manifestation
Like venereal syphilis, they have a chronic relapsing course and have prominent cutaneous manifestations. Recently, several cases of imported yaws and endemic syphilis have been described in Europe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The cutaneous manifestations of congenial syphilis tend to appear during the first few weeks or months of life. Syphilis is transmitted from the mother to the fetus via the placenta. The infection is therefore prenatal rather than congenital. [drmhijazy.com]
Early Congenital Syphilis Cutaneous manifestations appear most commonly during 3rd week Snuffles (a form of Rhinitis) is most frequent, bloody drainage, ulcers may develop, later septal perfs 30-60% of infants develop cutaneous lesions similar to [slideshare.net]

Treatment
The responsible spirochaete is readily identifiable on sight in a microscope as a treponema. [4] Treatment [ edit ] It is treatable with penicillin or other antibiotics, resulting in a complete recovery. [en.wikipedia.org]
However, penicillin mass treatment campaigns were not maintained and, as a result, the disease has reemerged. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
Treatment Penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline. bej·el ( bej'el ) Nonvenereal endemic syphilis, now found chiefly among Arab children; apparently due to Treponema pallidum. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
The introduction of mass treatment has been necessary in some areas. In a WHO survey in 2012, [8] the status of yaws was unknown in many of the countries where it had previously been known to be endemic. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Bejel is completely curable with antibiotic treatment. Prevention The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with many countries to prevent this and other diseases, and the number of cases has been reduced somewhat. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
