1. Granuloma inguinale

   Granuloma inguinale is a bacterial disease caused by Klebsiella granulomatis (formerly known as Calymmatobacterium granulomatis) characterized by genital ulcers. It is endemic in many less-developed regions. It is also known as donovanosis, granuloma genitoinguinale, granuloma inguinale tropicum, granuloma venereum, granuloma venereum genitoinguinale, lupoid form of groin ulceration, serpiginous ulceration of the groin, ulcerating granuloma of the pudendum, and ulcerating sclerosing granuloma. Oral manifestations are also notably seen. The lesions of oral cavity are usually secondary to active genital lesions. The disease often goes untreated because of the scarcity of medical treatment in the countries in which it is found. In addition, the painless genital ulcers can be mistaken for syphilis. The ulcers ultimately progress to destruction of internal and external tissue, with extensive leakage of mucus and blood from the highly vascular lesions. The destructive nature of donovanosis also increases the risk of superinfection by other pathogenic microbes.

1. granuloma inguinale

   Granuloma inguinale, also known as Donovanosis, is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Klebsiella granulomatis. It is characterized by ulcers, sores or nodules in the genital region, which can slowly expand and destroy the surrounding tissue. The disease is more common in developing countries and rare in most developed regions. If left untreated, the infection can cause serious complications. However, it's important to note that granuloma inguinale is completely curable with antibiotics.
