is choncroid curable and what is it?

Answer 1

Chancroid is an STD caused by a bacteria called Haemophilus ducreyi. It causes painful ulcers & swollen lymph nodes. It is pretty easily cured with antibiotics as long as you treat it early.

Answer 2

I think its the same as a sexual preference. It's not curable, nor should it need to be cured, as long as the pedophile knows where to draw the line and never acts on any sexual feeling towards adolescents. Besides alot of pedophiles often declare undying celibacy simply because they believe sex would hurt any child they may have feelings towards.

Answer 3

One painless bump on the head of the penis is usually Syphilis caused by Treponema Pallidum. Multiple painless or painful bumps could be HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Multiple painful bumps could also be Herpes Simplex Virus. Painful bumps could also be a Chancroid caused by Haemophilus Duycrei. Syphilis and Chancroid can be treated with antibiotics. If syphilis is not treated, it can lead to SERIOUS neurological problems. HPV and Herpes can't be treated, although Herpes outbreaks can be reduced with anti-viral drugs such as Valtrex (valcyclovir). HPV is a viral infection that may cause cervical cancer in women... please inform your sexual partner if you have HPV because condoms may not protect against HPV.

Answer 4

chancroid and syphilis is in contrast to our previous observation [9] and confirmed the lack of accuracy of the clinical etiologic diagnosis of genital ulcers [10-12]. The socio-demographic profile and sexual risk behavior described earlier [9] remained unchanged in our present study.

A low frequency of syphilis raises a dilemma in the etiological ranking of GOD in Bangladesh. The rate of syphilis observed in our study may not very precisely represent the actual prevalence of syphilis in the community as some patients with GOD reporting to the primary health care providers erroneously consider all cases of genital ulcers as syphilis and treat them. The wide spread use of antibiotics before attending the clinic may have prevented the development of 7: pallidum antibodies, on the other hand, the sensitivity of syphilis serology (RPR & TPHA) indicating that some infections were missed and leading to underestimation of syphilis.

The number of single herpes infection was too small for evaluation. Herpes Simplex virus may secondarily invades the pre-existing genital ulcers without altering the clinical sign complex of primary infections. On the other hand the spontaneous resolution of genital herpes ulcer prevents many patients from seeking treatment. Perhaps these patients come to the clinic with concomitant infection that does not heal inherently and difficult to recognize clinically. These might be the interpretations for most of the genital herpes patients with mixed infection.

Sixty five percent ( 17/26 ) of the patients with no laboratory diagnosis had clinically genital scabies and significantly high eosinophil count. Therefore genital scabies as single infection seems to be responsible for the ulcer infection among this group. However in the remaining 65% (32/49) clinically diagnosed genital scabies cases it cannot be excluded that pre-existing genital scabies lesions became secondarily infected with H. ducreyi, 7: pallidum or herpes simplex virus resulting in a clinical picture of secondarily infected scabies. A high eosinophil count would be expected which was not observed among this group. Therefore such mixed infection remains unproven.

The high prevalence of chancroid and their presence in the most of the clinically diagnosed genital scabies, syphilis and genital herpes cases is the most striking finding of the present study. The study showed point prevalence of different etiologic causes of GOD and stressed on future study on large sample size representative of GOD population of Bangladesh. Since the sensitivity of the clinical diagnosis of chancroid is very low, many infection are missed, on the other hand as the culture of H. ducreyi had low sensitivity there exist a chance of many false negative results. Therefore it will be justifiable to treat aIl GUD patients for chancroid including aIl those having reactive syphilis serology.
