    Background:

    • Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Haemophilus ducreyi.
    • Inguinal bubo formation is a common complication of chancroid.
    • Ruptured buboes can lead to extensive ulcerative lesions and systemic symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A case of giant chancroid developed following the spontaneous rupture of an inguinal bubo.
    • The patient presented with significant systemic symptoms alongside the large ulcerative lesion.

    Findings:

    • Treatment with a combination of sulfa drugs and streptomycin resulted in an excellent response.
    • Complete healing of the giant chancroid lesion was achieved within three weeks of treatment.
