DESCRIPTION

Granuloma Inguinale (Donovanosis) is a Gram-negative bacterial (Calmmatobacterium granulomatis) sexually transmitted disease generally affecting people living in tropical climates. This disease is commonly found in areas such as Southeast India, Guyana, and New Guinea, but it occurs on occasion in the United states. It is becoming more common in the U.S., especially in the south, southeast and southwest regions.

Incubation period is 8 to 12 weeks. Because of the scarcity of medical treatment, the disease often goes untreated. Men are affected more than twice as often as women, with most infections occurring in people aged 20 to 40 years. The disease is seldom seen in children or the elderly.



It is thought that anal intercourse, rather than vaginal intercourse, is the most frequent source of infection. About 50 percent of infected men and women have lesions in the anal area.

The disease is characterized by painless genital ulcers which can be mistaken for syphilis. However, they ultimately progress to destructive nature of Donovanosis and also increases the risk of superinfection by other pathogenic microbes.

CLASSIFICATION INFORMATION

The proper clinical designation for Donovanosis is Granuloma Inguinale. Granuloma is a nodular type of inflammatory reaction, and inguinale refers to the inguinal region, which is commonly involved in this infection. The disease is commonly known as Donovanosis, after the Donovan Bodies which are a diagnostic sign. Discovered by a researcher named Donovan, these intracellular inclusions represent bacteria that have been engulfed by scavenger cells called mononuclear phagocytes or histiocytes.

The causative organism, Klebsiella granulomatis, used to be called Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, from the Greek kalymma (a hood or veil), referring to the lesions that contain the bacteria. Prior to this it was called Donovania granulomatis, named after the Donovan Bodies. The species name granulomatis refers to the granulomatous lesions. The organism was recently reclassified under the genus Klebsiella, a drastic taxonomic change, since it involved changing the organism's phylum. However, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques using a colorimetric detection system showed a 99% similarity with other species in the Klebsiella genus.

FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Formation of a small, beefy-red, painless lesion (cyst, papule, or nodule) in the genital area that does not readily heal. These nodules appear after about 10 to 40 days after the contact with the bacteria. It gradually eats away the skin and forms an elevated, beefy-red, velvety nodule (granulation tissue). Later, this lesion or lesions ulcerates (becomes open, fleshy and runny oozing lesions) and may spread, mutilating the infected tissue so that it involves most of the vulva, and sometimes the buttocks and lower abdomen.

The lesions occur at the region of contact, typically found on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the perianal region. Rarely, the vaginal wall or cervix is the site of the lesion.

Marked discomfort occurs if the ulceration spreads to the urethra or anal area. Walking, sitting and sexual intercourse become painful.

Spread of the disease to the inguinal folds (where the legs meet the torso).

Vaginal discharge that has an unpleasant odor.

Nodules are usually painless and bleed easily if traumatized.

Depigmentation (loss of skin color) of the genitals and surrounding skin.

If left untreated, the disease results in mutilation and destruction of the genital tissue.

In its early stages, it may be difficult to differentiate granuloma inguinale from chancroid. In the later stages, granuloma inguinale may resemble advanced genital cancers, lymphogranuloma venereum, and anogenital cutaneous amebiasis.

---

CAUSES

An organism, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis (Donovan body), that is spread via sexual intercourse with an infected person.

The microorganism spreads from one host to another through contact with the open sores. Oral, vaginal, or anal intercourse are high risk behaviors to engage in with someone who is infected.

---

RISK INCREASES WITH

Multiple sexual partners.

Unprotected sexual intercourse.

Infection with other sexually transmitted diseases.

---

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Monogamous sexual relationship with an uninfected person.

Sexual contact with people living in tropical and subtropical climates increases the likelihood of exposure.

Safe sex practices will prevent the spread of granuloma inguinale as well as other sexually transmitted diseases and will also prevent unwanted pregnancies. Having the male partner use a latex condom.

Cleansing of the genital area before and after sexual encounters. Douching is usually not effective.

If there has been possibility of exposure, seek medical care immediately. Early treatment may head off the infection.

The disease is effectively treated with antibiotics, therefore, developed countries, like the United States, have a very low incidence of Donovanosis, (approximately 100 cases reported each year in the United States.) However, sexual contacts with individuals in endemic regions dramatically increases the risk of contracting the disease. Avoidance of these sexual contacts, and STD testing before beginning a sexual relationship are effective preventative measures for Donovanosis.

---

EXPECTED OUTCOME

With treatment, healing should begin within a week, but complete resolution will take up to 3 weeks.

Treating this disease early decreases the chances of tissue destruction or scarring. Untreated disease can lead to complications.

---

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

Secondary bacterial infection.

Relapse my occur if treatment is stopped too soon.

Scars may form where infection occurred.

Destruction of genital tissue.

Genital depigmentation (loss of skin color).

Permanent genital swelling from lymphatic scarring.

TREATMENT

GENERAL MEASURES

DIAGNOSIS

The patient's sexual history is requested. Experienced health care providers are able to diagnose Donovanosis by only looking at the ulcers. However, it may be necessary for the health care provider to take a sample of tissue to correctly diagnose the disease.

Classically, the diagnosis of granuloma inguinale should be considered if genital lesions have been present for a long time and have been progressively enlarging. Serological tests such as that used to detect syphilis are available only on a research basis for diagnosing granuloma inguinale.

Diagnosis is confirmed with laboratory studies of scrapings or biopsies of the lesions. Wright-Giesmsa stain may be added to the sample in order to better view the cells. Additionally, the presence of Donovan bodies in the tissue sample confirms Donovanosis.

Culture of tissue sample is difficult to do and not routinely available.

Testing (screening) for other sexually transmitted diseases is often recommended.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL TREATMENT

Treatment is with medication. Three weeks of treatment with erythromycin, streptomycin, or tetracycline, or 12 weeks of treatment with ampicillin are standard forms of therapy. Normally, the infection will begin to subside within a week of treatment, however, the full treatment period must be followed in order to minimize the possibility of relapse.

Sitz baths frequently relieve soreness. Sit in a tub of hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat baths as often as 3 or 4 times a day. See Sitz Baths for more information.

Sexual partners should be examined for infection.

A follow-up medical examination after treatment is important to verify that healing is complete.

Additional information is available from the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Hotline (800) 227-8922.

---

MEDICATION

An antibiotic, such as tetracycline, may be prescribed. A complete cure of granuloma inguinale requires fairly long treatment. Most treatment courses run 3 weeks or until the lesions have completely healed. Do not discontinue medicine until healing is complete or when advised to by your health care provider.

The antibiotics used include:

• Tetracycline or doxycycline
• Sulfamethoxazole
• Gentamicin
• Streptomycin
• Ciprofloxacin
• Erythromycin

A follow-up examination is essential because the disease can reappear after an apparently successful cure.

---

ACTIVITY

Avoid sexual intercourse during the active phase of the infection.

---

DIET

No dietary restrictions. Eat a well-balanced diet to maintain a healthy immune system. If taking tetracycline, avoid dairy products within 3 hours of taking the medication.

NOTIFY YOUR MIDWIFE OR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IF...

You or a family member has symptoms of granuloma inguinale.

Symptoms worsen despite treatment.

New, unexplained symptoms develop. Drugs used in treatment may produce side effects.

BENEFICIAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS FOR VENEREAL DISEASES

Astragalus protects the immune system.

ASTRAGALUS PRODUCTS Astragalus root is considered to have a normalizing effect on the body's functions. Astragalus is an important herb in Chinese medicine and is commonly included in Chinese cuisine. Early Chinese writings refer to Astragalus as The Superior Tonic. Astragalaus boosts the immune system. Astragalus has been found to promote the formation of antibodies and increase the production of T-cells, on of the body's key lines of defense against disease and prevents strep infections. A recent clinical trial verified the herb's ability to boost the supply of infection-fighting white blood cells. Astragalus also has a proven ability to boost heart function and improve cardiac output. It helps relieve chest distress and breathlessness due to a weakened heart. Scientific studies of this herb have shown it to be effective on cancer and HIV patients by restoring compromised immune cells. Chinese scientists have found that Astragalus protects the body from absorption of toxic chemicals into the liver. Other research shows that people using this herb had less angina than those given heart drugs such as nifedipine. Chinese people consider Astragalus to be a better energy tonic for young people than ginseng. This herb is also used to help ward off or treat colds, improve heart function, memory, and learning, and promote the healing of wounded skin. Astragalus works well in treating anorexia, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, malaria, kidney inflammations, painful urination, prolapsed uterus, uterine bleeding, edema, water retention, constipation, fever, and generalized weakness. Although many people take Astragalus at the onset of cold or flu symptoms, the Chinese believe taking huang qi at that time will cause the infection to go deeper. They instead use it while healthy as a defense shield against future illnesses. The recommended daily dosage of Astragalus is 9 to 30 grams of dried root boiled to make tea. There are Capsules, Tablets, Fluid Extract, Dried Root and prepared tea to be taken for this herb. For best results, consult with your health care provider for the treatment of your condition. Capsules: Take 500-1000 mg 3 times daily. Caution: Do not use this herb if you have a fever or a skin infection.

Butchers Broom shrinks swollen lymph nodes.

BUTCHERS BROOM PRODUCTS A mild diuretc, butchers broom was approved by the authoritive German Commission E as a supportive therapy for chronic venous insufficiency, a condition causing pain, swelling, and fatigue in the calves. Chronic venous insufficiency is related to varicose veins. Pliny the Elder in 60 C.E. noted that it was a treatment for the swelling of veins. In modern Europe, components in butchers broom have been isolated and used in formulas for the treatment of varicose veins and hemorrhoids. The German Commission also recommended butchers broom for treatment of hemorrhoids. Butchers Broom root has been used as a natural support for improving elasticity and tone of the vascular tissue, especially in the legs. At least one clinical trial found that butchers broom may relieve lymph edema (arm swelling) following treatment for breast cancer. Butchers Broom shrinks swollen lymph nodes.

OREGANO OIL PRODUCTS Oregano is known as one nature's most powerful anti-fungal and anti-viral herbs. Its natural anti-septic properties make it excellent for killing off parasites and maintaining a healthy immune system. Historically, herbalists have recommended oregano to calm nausea and help digestion which made it doubly useful when seasoning foods. Today's research findings indicate that Oregano Oil is also a potent antioxidant, and acts with antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Mountain Rose Herbs: Oregano Essential Oil (Origanum vulgare), Certified Organic, 62 to 68% Carvacrol Starwest Botanicals: Oregano Essential Oil, 1/3 fl. oz.

Kalyx: Oregano Oil, Nutricology, 60 Softgels Pure essential oil of oregano derived from Thymus capitatus and other oraganum species, containing 65 percent carvacrol. Recent studies have shown that certain essential oils such as thyme, oregano and clove may possess properties that affect the balance of microbiology within the GI tract. Kalyx: Oregano Oil Extract, Thompson Nutritional, 150 mg, 60 Softgels For centuries Oregano has been used by folks as a natural protector. Now today Oil of Oregano is making headlines for its ability to fight unfriendly organisms that could invade the lungs and body. Oil of Oregano helps protect your body’s immune system naturally. The essential oil distilled from oregano contains varying amounts of thymol and carvacrol, compounds that can apparently inhibit the growth of fungi, worms, and possibly other organisms. In fact, some sources even recommend rubbing a drop or two of oregano oil into an area that is itching due to athlete's foot, a common condition caused by the Tinea versicolor fungus. Mild stomach-settling and cough-clearing qualities are attributed to oregano oil; they are likely due to the presence of thymol and carvacrol as well. Disease-fighting antioxidants have been identified in oregano, although it's not clear whether they appear in the oil as well as in the leaves and other above-ground parts of the plant. Oregano oil has been used as an antiseptic in hand cleansers and shampoos, and as a remedy for headaches when rubbed into the temples. Some nutritionally oriented doctors enlist oregano oil's antifungal actions to fight Candida overgrowth syndrome, a condition believed to be caused by an imbalance in the body's fungi and bacteria levels.

PAU D'ARCO PRODUCTS Pau d'arco bark is a rich source of iron, which contributes to the elimination of wastes from the body and the assimilation of nutrients. It is a natural antibiotic and potentiates immune function. It is also a powerful antioxidant and is good for destroying candida in the colon. American herbalists use this herb to enhance liver function and to help lessen the effects of AIDS, allergies, cardiovascular problems, inflammatory bowel syndrome, rheumatism, tumors, and ulcers. The key ingredient in Pau D'Arco is lapachol. In the 1970s, studies of lapachol showed promise in destroying cancer cells; however, its use produced severe side effects such as blood-clotting abnormalities, anemia, and nausea, so further studies were abandoned. While high doses are not recommended for treating cancer, moderate amounts have been found to be very useful as an immune booster while fighting cancer, HIV, AIDS, bronchitis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Pau D'Arco bark has also been used to treat fungal infections, yeast infections, smoker's cough, warts, and acne. The standard dosage for internal use is with products standardized to contain 2 to 7 percent lapachol, although an effective alternative is a product that contains 3 percent naphthoquinones. If using a tincture or liquid extract formulation as an external treatment, you may need to dilute it with a small amount of water or vegetable oil if skin becomes irritated. If skin irritation continues after dilution, discontinue use. If treating genital warts, dilution is necessary. If using as a tea, it is best to take with food to avoid stomach upset. If stomach upset continues, stop taking the herb altogether. This potent herb may pose health risks when taken internally for more than a week so it is suggested you use only for a week at a time.
