Abstract

Abstract Granuloma inguinale has recently assumed a greater importance because of its more frequent occurrence in this section of the country. The three cases reported herein came from the dermatologic service of Dr. Jerome Kingsbury at the New York City Hospital, and it was at his suggestion that this investigation was made. The lesions are characterized clinically by chronic, spreading ulcers situated on the genitalia or in the immediate vicinity, as the groin and perineum. In the early stages, the lesions may be multiple, but they have a tendency to coalesce. The edges are rough, raised and indurated. CLINICAL COURSE Little is known about the incubation period. Granuloma inguinale usually begins as a nodule or pustule which soon breaks down, forming a shallow ulceration of insignificant size. This soon spreads in a serpiginous manner and may extend upward as far as the anterior superior spines or downward in the groin as References 1. Donovan, C.: Indian Med. Gaz. 40:414, 1905. 2. Carter: Lancet , 11:1128 ( (Oct. 15) ) 1910.Crossref 3. Walker, E. L.: J. Med. Res. 37:427 ( (Jan.) ) 1918. 4. Symmers, L. D., and Frost, A. D.: Granuloma Inguinale in the United States , J. A. M.
