Classification
The table below outlines the variations of chancroid clinical presentation:[1][2]
Variant | Characteristic |
---|---|
Dwarf chancroid | Small, superficial, relatively painless ulcer |
Giant chancroid | Large granulomatous ulcer at the site of a ruptured inguinal bubo, extending beyond its margins |
Follicular chancroid | Seen in females in association with hair follicles of the labia majora and pubis; initial follicular pustule evolves into a classic ulcer at the site |
Transient chancroid | Superficial ulcers that may heal rapidly,followed by a typical inguinal bubo |
Serpiginous chancroid | Multiple ulcers that coalesce to form a serpiginous pattern |
Mixed chancroid | Nonindurated tender ulcers of chancroid appearing together with an indurated nontender ulcer of syphilis having an incubation period of 10 to 90 days |
Phagedenic chancroid | Ulceration that causes extensive destruction of genitalia following secondary or superinfection by anaerobes such as Fusobacterium or Bacteroides |
