		Donovanosis is a sexually transmitted infection characterized chiefly by anogenital and inguinal ulceration.
		Haematogenous dissemination of donovanosis is associated especially with the trauma to an infected uterine cervix during pregnancy.
		Donovanosis is readily confused with other sexually transmitted genital infections, particularly chancroid (a variant of chancroid, dubbed ‘pseudogranuloma inguinale’ has recently been described), syphilis, and anogenital cutaneous amoebiasis.

	Donovanosis: Illustrated lecture transcript
		Although donovanosis is an intrinsically benign condition effectively treated by numerous antibiotics, the disease is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.
		Pudendal lesions of donovanosis are usually red as opposed to pale condylomata lata of secondary syphilis.
		Extragenital lesions are estimated to occur in approximately 6% of cases of donovanosis but many more cases probably remain undetected because of diverse non-specific presentations and a low index of suspicion.

	Global eradication of donovanosis: an opportunity for limiting the spread of HIV-1 infection.

		Donovanosis is a chronic, progressively destructive infection which affects the skin and mucous membranes of the external genitalia, inguinal and anal regions.
		The diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating ‘Donovan bodies’ in Wright or Giemsa-stained smears of granulation tissue or by histological examination of biopsy specimens.
		Donovanosis is rare in industrialised countries but endemic in some tropical and subtropical countries and areas including northern Australia.

	Granuloma - Sexually Transmitted Disease - malehealthchannel.com
		Granuloma inguinale, also known as granuloma venereum or donovanosis, is a chronic, mildly contagious STD caused by the bacterium Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, which contaminates food and water.
		Donovanosis may first cause gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhea and rectal pain.
		Untreated donovanosis can spread throughout the groin, leading to inguinal (i.e., inner thigh area) subcutaneous tissue swelling that resembles lymph node infection.

	The diagnosis and treatment of donovanosis (granuloma inguinale).
		Donovanosis is a predominantly tropical cause of genital ulcer occurring chiefly in small endemic foci in all continents except Europe.
		The antibiotics reported as showing good activity in donovanosis are those with good activity against gram negative bacilli and whose lipid solubility ensures good intracellular penetration.
		Complications of donovanosis such as elephantiasis, stricture and pelvic abscess may require surgery.

		Any person with a history of unprotected sexual contact with a patient with active donovanosis or within 40 days before the onset of lesions should be assessed clinically for evidence of infection and offered treatment.

		Donovanosis is a genito-ulcerative disease caused by a gram-negative organism, Klebsiella granulomatis (formerly Calymmatobacterium granulomatis).
		For treatment of uncomplicated genital chlamydial infection, azithromycin (1 g orally as a single dose) has been shown to be as effective as doxycycline (100 mg orally 12-hourly for 7 days)5 (E2).
		Azithromycin (1 g orally once weekly for 4 weeks or 500 mg orally once daily for 7 days) is highly effective treatment for donovanosis and minimises compliance problems28 (E2).

		If the ulcer could be either chancroid or syphilis and the RPR is negative, the patient should be treated for syphilis anyway.

		The two most common STIs in Australia are believed to be HPV and genital herpes, but it is difficult to monitor their occurrence as they are not notifiable diseases [2].
		There is some evidence that, unlike most other health-related collections, the notification of STIs is more complete for Indigenous than non-Indigenous people.) Some STIs, particularly donovanosis, occur predominantly among Indigenous people, but there were only 34 cases notified in Queensland, WA and the NT in 2001 [3].
		Notifications have been declining - probably due largely to the introduction of treatment with azithromycin and dedicated donovanosis management [4].
