- Description
- Granuloma venereum (granuloma inguinale) is a venereal disease of low contagiousness caused by a gram-negative bacillus Donovania ganulomatis. Except for an earlier report from Zambia, the disease has not received the attention it deserves in tropical Africa. There is a general lack of awareness of the disease in this region. This study is a more detailed report on the clinicopathological presentation of the disease in 40 patients encountered over a period of three-and-a-half years in Zambia.
