Coming soonChancroid is an acute, sexually transmitted bacterial infection primarily affecting the genitourinary tract and regional lymph nodes.
It is caused by the fastidious, gram-negative coccobacillus *Haemophilus ducreyi*, which enters through microabrasions in the mucosal or cutaneous barrier during sexual contact.
The condition is clinically characterized by the development of one or more necrotizing, deeply painful genital ulcers with soft, irregular margins and a friable, purulent base.
In approximately half of infected individuals, the disease progresses to tender regional lymphadenopathy, frequently manifesting as unilateral suppurative inguinal buboes that can spontaneously rupture.
