Introduction:
Azithromycine is recommended in the treatment of donovanosis with a 7-day treatment cycle. We report the efficacy of a single cure of 1 gram in two patients.
Observations:
Four patients, presenting with donovanosis, were treated with azithromycine according to 2 regimens. The first used 500 mg/d the molecule during 1 week, the second used azithromycine in single cure of 1 gram. The latter led to the complete cure of 2 patients.
Discussion:
Many antibiotics are used in the treatment of donovanosis. Since 1996, Australian authors have used azithromycine in this indication. A single dose of this molecule appears effective in recent and confined donovanosis.
