granuloma inguinale
donovanosis

In 1905 he identified the micro-organism responsible for the disease granuloma inguinale.

The nature of the donovan body of granuloma inguinale.

The proper clinical designation for donovanosis is now "granuloma inguinale".

Other diseases, such as granuloma inguinale and lymphogranuloma venerium, have increased from a few reported cases annually to hundreds.

Among them are chancroid, granuloma inguinale and lymphogranuloma venerium.

Granuloma inguinale or (Klebsiella granulomatis)

Like chancroid and lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale is not commonly seen in the United Kingdom, there being only sixteen cases reported in 1976.

Granuloma inguinale is a bacterial disease caused by Klebsiella granulomatis characterized by ulcerative genital lesions.

Granuloma inguinale is endemic in India and cases are also seen in Africa, the West Indies, and the southern states of America.

Infectious disease lesions can be caused by a number of diseases including herpes genitalis, human papillomavirus, syphilis, chancroid, granuloma inguinale, and lymphogranuloma venereum.

In 1954, carbomycin was found to be an effective treatment for granuloma inguinale by Harry M. Robinson and Morris M. Cohen.

Donovan bodies are rod-shaped, oval organisms that can be seen in the cytoplasm of mononuclear phagocytes or histiocytes in tissue samples from patients with granuloma inguinale.

Other sexually transmitted infections studied in the field include Chancroid, Lymphogranuloma venereum, Granuloma inguinale, Hepatitis B, and Cytomegalovirus infection.

Venereal warts, syphilis, genital herpes, chancroid, molluscum contagiosum, and granuloma inguinale are STIs that cause visible and fairly classic-appearing lesions.

This currently includes Class A Tuberculosis, Chancroid, Gonorrhea, Granuloma inguinale, Lymphogranuloma venerum, Syphilis, Leprosy or any other communicable disease as determined by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Granuloma inguinale is evenly distributed in tropical regions, with a high prevalence in Papua New Guinea and Southern India and a few cases in Africa, the Southern USA, South-East Asia, and the Caribbean.

There are two groups of tropical diseases of importance; those that are sexually transmitted - chancroid, granuloma inguinale, and lymphogranuloma venereum, and those that, although passed on in a non-sexual fashion, are closely related to syphilis and may be confused with it.

It is also known as donovanosis, granuloma genitoinguinale, granuloma inguinale tropicum, granuloma venereum, granuloma venereum genitoinguinale, lupoid form of groin ulceration, serpiginous ulceration of the groin, ulcerating granuloma of the pudendum and ulcerating sclerosing granuloma.

The disease is commonly known as donovanosis, after the Donovan bodies which are a diagnostic sign.

The presence of Donovan bodies in the tissue sample confirms donovanosis.

The proper clinical designation for donovanosis is now "granuloma inguinale".

The destructive nature of donovanosis also increases the risk of superinfection by other pathogenic microbes.

It can also cause Donovanosis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Avoidance of these sexual contacts, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing before beginning a sexual relationship, are effective preventative measures for donovanosis.

Klebsiella granulomatis is Gram-negative, rod shaped bacteria of the genus Klebsiella known to cause the sexually transmitted disease Donovanosis.

The disease is effectively treated with antibiotics, therefore, developed countries, like the United States, have a very low incidence of donovanosis, approximately 100 cases reported each year in the United States.

It is also known as donovanosis, granuloma genitoinguinale, granuloma inguinale tropicum, granuloma venereum, granuloma venereum genitoinguinale, lupoid form of groin ulceration, serpiginous ulceration of the groin, ulcerating granuloma of the pudendum and ulcerating sclerosing granuloma.
