Clinical Features
- Genital/perineal ulcer
- Chronic, painless, progressive
- Irregular, clean-based, granulomatous, nodular

- Hematogenous spread to spleen, lungs, liver, bones, orbits
Differential Diagnosis
Evaluation
Workup
- Microscopy: Donovan bodies
- Short, pleomorphic rods with bipolar staining
- Screen for other STDs
