Inguinal Bubo


• Swelling of inguinal lymph nodes as a result of STIs
• a painful, often fluctuant, swelling of the
  lymph nodes in the inguinal region (groin)

• The common sexually transmitted pathogens
  that are associated with inguinal bubo include
   – C. trachomatis (serovar L1, L2 and L3): LGV:
   – H. ducreyi: Chancroid
   – K.Granulomatis (Calymmatobacterium granulomatis):
     Granuloma ingunale
   – T.pallidum: syphilis

• Rarely systemic symptoms except LGV
                                                         4
Lymphogranuloma Venereum
• 3 stages
  – Primary stage(genital ulcer)
  – Secondary satge(lymphadenitis and lymphangitis)
  – Third stage(fibrosis and edema-genital elephantiasis)
Lymphogranuloma Venereum

• Early in the course of the disease, a vesicopustular eruption
  may go undetected. This transient, primary, painless genital
  or anorectal ulcer develops after 2-5 days.
• Multiple, large, confluent inguinal nodes develop 2 to 3
  weeks later and eventually suppurate. Acute infection may
  cause generalized systemic symptoms
• With inguinal (and genital) ulceration, lymphedema, and
  secondary bilateral invasion, excruciating conditions arise.
  Sitting or walking may cause pain
• During the inguinal bubo phase, the groin is exquisitely
  tender
• LGV responds to 3-week regimens of doxycycline or
  erythromycin in the usual doses
Lymphogranuloma Venereum
Chancroid (Soft Chancre)

• suppurative inguinal adenopathy with painful
  ulcers is pathognomonic
• Culture positive for H ducreyi
• The early chancroid lesion is a vesicopustule
• Later, it degenerates into a saucer-shaped ragged
  ulcer circumscribed by an inflammatory wheal
• Typically, the lesion is very tender and produces a
  heavy, foul discharge that is contagious
Chancroid (Soft Chancre)
Granuloma Inguinale (Donovanosis)

• Essentials of Diagnosis;
  – chronic ulcerative granulomatous disease that usually
    develops in the perineum and inguinal regions
  – Donovan bodies revealed by Wright's or Giemsa's
    stain
  a painless, "beefy-red ulcer" with a characteristic
    rolled edge of granulation tissue. The painless genital
    ulcers can be mistaken for syphilis.
   In contrast to syphilitic genital ulcers, inguinal
    lymphadenopathy is generally absent
Granuloma Inguinale (Donovanosis)
Syphilis

• Sometimes T. pallidum can be a cause of
  inguinal lymphadenopthy

  – unlike the other causes, it doesn't generally produce necrosis
    and abscess collection in the lymph nodes.

  – In conditions where the clinical examination doesn't reveal a
    fluctuant bubo, syphilis should be additionally considered
    and treated accordingly

  – Surgical incisions are contraindicated and the pus should only
    be aspirated using a hypodermic needle
  – NB hard chancre is painless, non-exudative, hard (indurated) edge, unlike soft
    chancre

                                                                                     12
Syphilis
Inguinal Bubo Flow Chart

• Men affected more than females

• Common predisposing factor for the spread of
  HIV

• Complications:
  – Abscess formation and PID
  – Lymphatic obstruction
  – Stenosis and Infertility
                                            14

Editor's Notes

  1. Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily orally should be given for 21 days according to tolerance. If disease persists, the course should be repeated. An alternative regimen is erythromycin 500 mg orally 4 times daily for 21 days. Large lymph nodes should be aspirated to avoid chronic drainage. Surgical excision of scarred areas may be necessary.
  2. (CDC) Recommended regimen—(a) azithromycin 1 g orally once; (b) ceftriaxone 250 mg intramuscularly (IM) as a single dose; (c) erythromycin base 500 mg orally 3 times daily for 7 days; and (d) ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally twice daily for 3 days. Fluctuant lymph nodes may need to be aspirated through normal adjacent skin. Incision and drainage of the nodes is not recommended because it will delay healing. Chancroid is a reportable disease. NB LGV is also reportable
  3. The disease is almost nonexistent in the United States. It is most common in India, Brazil, the West Indies, some South Pacific islands, and parts of Australia, China, and Africa. The causative organism is Calymmatobacteriumgranulomatis (Donovan body). Donovan bodies are bacteria encapsulated in mononuclear leukocytes. Transmission is via coitus, and the incubation period is 8–12 weeks. NB IP for genital ulcer in LGV and chancroid is 2-5 days. Syphilis 3wks. Note for LGV buboes occur after 2to 3wks. Healing is very slow, and satellite ulcers may unite to form a large lesion. When smears are negative, a biopsy specimen should be taken. Biopsy of the lesion generally shows granulation tissue infiltrated by plasma cells and scattered large macrophages with rod-shaped cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (Mikulicz cells). Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia often is seen at the margin of the ulcer.
