Overview
Clinically, the disease is commonly characterized as painless, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy.
Physical Examination
- In early stages donovanosis commonly presents as a nontender, progressive ulcerative lesions without regional lymphadenopathy.[1]
- Patients in late stages present with the following signs:[2]
- Scarring
- Elephantiasis-like swelling
- Stenosis of the urethra, vagina, or anus
Typical Lesion Characteristics
- Beefy red color
- Nontender
- Emit rank odor
- Elevated above skin
- Smooth, rolled edge
- Serpiginous outline[3]
Four variants can be further classified according to their clinical presentation:[1]
| Type | Clinical Appearance |
|---|---|
| Ulcerogrnulomatous | beefy red, non-tender, bleeds easily |
| Hypertrophic or Verrucous | irregular edge, dry |
| Necrotic | foul smelling, deep, tissue destruction |
| Sclerotic | dry, cicatricial, fibrous scar tissue |
Common Locations in Males
- Sulco coronal
- Balanopreputial region
- Anus
Common Locations in Females
- labia minora
- Vaginal furcula
- Cevix
- Fourchette
Extragenital Lesion Locations
Extragenital lesions occur in 6% of patients, typically in the following locations:[3]
