Overview

Natural History

  • The incubation period for H. ducreyi is typically 4 to 10 days, after which erythematous papules arise.[1]
  • Approximately 2 to 3 days after symptom onset, papules evolve into pustules.[2]
  • Pustules may resolve spontaneously or ulcerate in approximately 1-2 weeks since formation. Patients typically develop between 1-4 ulcers.
  • Inguinal lymphadenitis develops in approximately half of patients, more commonly in males than females.[3]
