    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Donovanosis is a chronic bacterial sexually transmitted infection.
    • It is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
    • Limited data exists on its epidemiology in Western Australia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and demographic features of donovanosis patients diagnosed in Western Australia.
    • To analyze the epidemiology of donovanosis in this region.
    • To discuss implications for public health and clinical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of 47 consecutive patient records diagnosed with donovanosis.
    • Data collected from a public health laboratory in Western Australia over six years.

    Main Results:

    • 47 cases of donovanosis diagnosed over six years.
    • Majority of patients originated from tropical northern Western Australia.
    • A preponderance of women presented with vulval lesions as the primary manifestation.
    • Two male patients had extragenital lesions, with concurrent genital involvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Donovanosis remains a relevant diagnosis in tropical Western Australia, predominantly affecting women with genital lesions.
    • The findings highlight the importance of recognizing extragenital manifestations in men.
    • Public health surveillance and accessible diagnostics are crucial for managing this infection.
