Overview
Donovanosis was first called "serpiginous ulcer" in 1882. Charles Donovan first identified the cause of these genital lesions in 1905, which he called "Donovan bodies," since the etiologic agent was unknown. Aragão & Vianna classified the agent as Calymmatobacterium granulomatis in 1913. However, sequencing analysis by Carter et al. revealed that the agent should be reclassified to Klebsiella granulomatis.
Historical Perspective
- Donovanosis was first called "serpiginous ulcer", dating back to 1882.[1]
- In 1905, Charles Donovan discovered intracellular bodies as the cause of this ulcer; the nature of the bodies was unknown and they were referred to as "Donovan bodies."[2]
- Calymmatobacterium granulomatis was presumed to be the causative agent of donovanosis by Aragão & Vianna in 1913.
- However, gene sequencing of bacteria in Donovan bodies by Carter et al. revealed that the caustive agent should be reclassified to Klebsiella granulomatis.[3]
