In 1956 he was promoted to chief physician in the department of treponematosis.

Treponematosis: a possible case from the late prehistoric of North Carolina.

In seven cases, these characteristics coincided with scars on long bones, also evidence pointing to treponematosis.

Pinta is classified as a treponematosis, which is an infectious disease caused by a treponema.

He hypothesizes that "the differing ecological conditions produced different types of treponematosis and, in time, closely related but different diseases."

"More and more evidence is coming in indicating that treponematosis was in Europe before Columbus," Dr. Ortner said yesterday.

He said the two skeletons, dating from before 1420, contained the kind of bone damage caused by treponematosis, a group of allied diseases including syphilis and yaws.

More recently, the bone pathology of the Homo erectus KNM-ER 1808 has actually been attributed to treponematosis, a bacterial infection.
