Extragenital donovanosis in a patient with AIDS.
A case of extragenital donovanosis in a patient with AIDS is reported from Zimbabwe. Despite the rarity of donovanosis in Zimbabwe it is important that health workers are familiar with this disease since donovanosis increases the risk of HIV transmission and appropriate treatment is often successful even in patients with severe immunodeficiency.
