Laboratory Findings
- It may be donovanosis if genital sores have been present for a long time and have been spreading.
- Tests that may be done include:
- Culture of tissue sample: Culture of C. granulomatis is difficult to perform and not routinely available.
- Scrapings or punch biopsy of lesion: Diagnosis requires visualization of Donovan bodies (numerous bacilli in the cytoplasm of macrophage demonstrated with Giemsa or Wright’s stain) in smears of scrapings from the ulcer base or histologic sections.
- Laboratory tests, such as those used to detect syphilis, are available only on a research basis for diagnosing donovanosis.
