Overview
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 the caustive agent to be Klebsiella granulomatis.[3]
