However, the value of empiric therapy in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms has not been established.
  • Note (4): Pregnancy is a relative contraindication to the use of sulfonamides. Pregnant and lactating women should be treated with the erythromycin regimen, and consideration should be given to the addition of a parenteral aminoglycoside (e.g., gentamicin). Azithromycin might prove useful for treating granuloma inguinale during pregnancy, but published data are lacking. Doxycycline and ciprofloxacin are contraindicated in pregnant women.
  • Note (5): Persons with both granuloma inguinale and HIV infection should receive the same regimens as those who are HIV negative; however, the addition of a parenteral Aminoglycoside (e.g., Gentamicin) can also be considered.

  • Preferred regimen: Doxycycline 100 mg PO bid for 21 days
  • Alternative regimen: Erythromycin base 500 mg PO qid for 21 days

  • Note (2): Pregnant and lactating women should be treated with Erythromycin. Azithromycin might prove useful for treatment of LGV in pregnancy, but no published data are available regarding its safety and efficacy. Doxycycline is contraindicated in pregnant women.
  • Note (3): Persons with both LGV and HIV infection should receive the same regimens as those who are HIV negative. Prolonged therapy might be required, and delay in resolution of symptoms might occur.
