Abstract
A better knowledge of gross and microscopic features in chancroid are important in this increased frequency disease. Two biopsies were taken from each one of 200 culture-proven cases of chancroid, and studied through different stains. The ratio male/female was 15.7/1, and adenopathies were found in 87%. Biopsies showed edema, lymphohistiocytic inflammation and fibrinoid vasculitis, as well as the presence of numerous eosinophils and Russell bodies. Biopsy should be considered as an important tool for the diagnostic of chancroid.
