[Chancroid in Yaounde. Apropos of 42 cases].
In Yaoundé, chancroid occurs frequently among adolescents and young men (95 p. 100 of the cases) who have sexual contacts regularly with prostitutes. Apart of classical clinical forms complicated in 2/3 of cases by inguinal adenopathies, we have observed furuncular chancroid which is quite characteristic of the disease. Giemsa stain represents for us a simple and reliable diagnostic method for this disease because in 1/3 of smears, typical cultural aspects of Haemophilus ducreyi were seen.
