Symptoms of infectious disease on bones
There are two major, similar and closely related bacterial infectious diseases which are leprosy and tuberculosis. Both those two disease will infect on the human skeleton. Most people who carry leprosy and tuberculosis by exposed to the pathogen do not have strong symptoms though their whole life.
The oldest records of leprosy is track back to 600 B.C. which is an Indian medical test (15). Patients carry sypmtoms on bones whatever which stage of the leprosy, for instance, tuberculoid leprosy which carry a limitaed morbidity and lepromatous leprosy which carry a severe morbidity, they all have the infection mark leave on the bones. However, even they all leave the skeletal marks with infection. The skeletal

He also point out that the major question which is the significance of the clinical differences among those three syndromes of treponematosis that affect the skeleton, particularly between syphilis and bejel, yaws. The clinical and radiological manifestations apparent in leprosy patients indicate that the importance of the immune response in the effect of the disease on organs, including the skeleton, associated with some disorders.
The origin of syphilis is the oldest controversies in medical history and linked to the question of how far back this syndrome extends in both the Old and New World. The venereal mode of transmission of syphilis which the social activities are associated with it. The traditional view is that syphilis was brought to the Old World by ship’s crews returning from the Columbian voyages of discovery in the late fifteenth century. Until recently, the archaeological skeletal evidence of treponematosis before 1500 A.D. from the New World

Lesions are increased the diameter of both tibias and also occurs on the right metacarpal. It may have occurred on other bones of the hands and feet, but most of the lesions are develop at skull and tibia. The type and distribution of abnormalities in this bones are almost indicate as a congenital treponematosis, and probably be the congenital syphilis. Beside the child, in adult, usually, the frontal bone would exhibits the classic features of caries sicca with a roughly circular cluster of fine holes which is an early stage character. As well, the circular shaped lesion may well developed with a slight depression in the central portion of the lesion and a slightly raised compact bone margin. In the hard palate. In addition, abnormal bone-forming lesions occur throughout the skeleton may including the bodies of the cervical vertebrae and the long bones of the extremities with treponematosis. These bone-forming lesions would present as a woven bone, a compact bone, and a combinations of woven and compact bone. Some woven bone lesions have a central depression. Furthermore, the geographic location of the burial may impact on diagnose as well. If the location is away from the modern age geographic distribution of yaws and bejel, such as England, it would make syphilis more probable. As well, the date of the burial is very important as well, for instance, it is a burial before the medieval period or
