Donovanosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacteria
Klebsiella granulomatis, which mainly affects the skin and
mucous membranes of the genital, perigenital, and inguinal regions. Also known
as venereal granuloma or granuloma inguinale, it is endemic in tropical and
subtropical regions of the globe and often associated with sexual transmission.
We report the case of an 11-year-old female victim of chronic sexual abuse, who
was diagnosed with donovanosis and presented a good therapeutic response to
doxycycline.
