Lab tests: Bejel affects the mucous membranes of the mouth, then the skin and bones. The initial mouth sore may not be noticed. Moist patches then develop in the mouth. They resolve over a period of months to years. During this time, people have few or no symptoms. Then, lumps develop in long bones, mainly leg bones. Labs tests are necessary for diagnosis. See a doctor. Very similar to syphillis.

Bejel: Dr Erman gave a description. To determine if it is Bejel your doctor will obtain a history and do a physical examination. Fluids from sores or lymph nodes are checked microscopically for T. pallidum subspecies endemicum. REF: http://www.healthofchildren.com/B/Bejel.html#ixzz5UWgtrrCJ
