The isolation of H. ducreyi in Singapore.

Using an enriched medium, H. ducreyi was isolated from 56 out of 670 patients with penile ulcers (8.3%). Their clinical, epidemiological characteristics and treatment responses to streptomycin, cotrimoxazole and other antimicrobial agents are analysed. 51% failed to respond to streptomycin.

The global pattern of sexually transmitted diseases.

The 'traditional' sexually transmitted diseases (syphilis, gonorrhoea and so on) have now been supplemented but not replaced by a 'second generation' including chlamydial infections, trichomoniasis, virus diseases (herpes simplex, hepatitis A and B), and protozoal infections in homosexuals. The results, due to a multiplicity of factors, are at present little short of alarming, but there are hopeful signs.

Pseudogranuloma inguinale caused by haemophilus ducreyi.

We used a new selective culture medium to isolate Haemophilus ducreyi from a penile ulcer that had the clinical appearance of granuloma inguinale. The isolation of the organism in pure culture permitted us to make a definitive diagnosis and obtain antimicrobial susceptibility data in a relatively short period. As a result, we were able to change therapy from sulfamethoxazole to erythromycin, and the infection rapidly healed.

[Reappearance of soft chancre: comments on the current epidemic in Paris (author's transl)].

A total of 678 cases of soft chancre were treated in one hospital between 1973 and 1979. The majority of the patients were males (97 p. cent), and most of them came originally from Maghreb or Black Africa. Contamination was from prostitution (61 p. cent) or chance acquaintances (29 p. cent). The genital ulceration was often clinically atypical, frequently syphiloid; pain was present in only 59 p. cent of cases, and adenopathy, noted in 63 p. cent of patients, had the appearance of an inflammatory bubo in only 23 p. cent. The present high frequency of soft chancres, and their misleading clinical characteristics, makes it sometimes difficult to establish the clinical differential diagnosis from syphilitic chancre, but confirmation of the latter is supplied by direct examination and culture to search for Ducreys bacillus, this being indispensable for establishing the correct diagnosis. Treatment with sulfamethoxazole trimethopin or streptomycin prevents complications and cures the affection in one or two weeks.
