title: Donovanosis treated with thiamphenicol.
abstract: Ten patients with donovanosis were treated with thiamphenicol for two weeks. In eight of them, included two HIV infected patients, lesions healed. The safety profile of thiamphenicol makes it a useful and cost-effective agent in the management of donovanosis. Randomized controlled trials should be conducted with these treatment options.
