Abstract

Abstract Of the five classical venereal diseases-gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), and granuloma inguinale (donovanosis)-four are characterized by genital ulceration, often with inguinal lymphadenopathy. In addition, genital herpes has become recognized in the past two decades as one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in industrialized countries. Beyond the immediate local and occasional systemic manifestations of genital ulcer disease (GUD), serious long-term sequelae are common.
