Background

  • Caused by Haemophilus ducreyi
  • Sexually transmitted
  • Rare in western countries (leads to frequent misdiagnosis in these locations)
Chancroid (male)
Chancroid (female)

Clinical Features

  • Incubation period 3-7 days[1]
  • Lesions begin as soft chancre/papule → painful ulceration with ragged margins[1]
  • Within days to weeks, unilateral painful inguinal lymphadenopathy (buboes) forms
    • These may become abscessed and rupture

Differential Diagnosis

Sexually transmitted diseases

Evaluation

  • Generally clinical diagnosis
  • PCR can be used for indeterminate cases[1]

Management

Disposition

  • Discharge
