Granuloma inguinale diagnoses increased significantly in Brazil from 1954 to 1990. Researchers linked this rise to greater sexual liberty, socioeconomic factors, and increased homosexual behavior.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Granuloma inguinale (GI) is a chronic bacterial infection.
  • The study analyzed GI cases diagnosed at the Universidade Federal do Pará from 1954 to 1990.
  • A notable increase in GI incidence was observed over the study period.

Purpose:

  • To report the incidence of granuloma inguinale in Belém, Brazil.
  • To identify potential determinants for the observed increase in GI cases.

Summary:

  • A total of 259 GI cases were diagnosed between 1954 and 1990.
  • Incidence rose from 56 cases (1954-1974) to 133 cases in the last five years (1986-1990).
  • Factors implicated include increased sexual liberty, poor socioeconomic conditions, and rising homosexual behavior.
