Early aetiological diagnosis is of paramount importance so that development of genital elephantiasis can be prevented; otherwise it is not completely reversible with medical therapy and often requires surgical intervention. Chronic mental distress and disability can result as it interferes with daily\/routine activities of the affected individual. Over time, the infectious causes of genital elephantiasis have evolved, from syphilis in the pre-penicillin era to donovanosis, lymphogranuloma venereum and recently filariasis, tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, HIV and chromoblastomycosis. With a declining prevalence globally, donovanosis is at risk of being forgotten as a cause of genital swelling; however, it is known to persist for years without treatment and can lead to complications such as lymphoedema and genital mutilation. We herein present a case of genital elephantiasis that was eventually diagnosed as being due to donovanosis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,15]],"date-time":"2012-11-15T15:50:54Z","timestamp":1352994654000},"page":"835-836","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Genital elephantiasis due to donovanosis: forgotten but not gone yet \u2026"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Narang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"Kanwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C1","unstructured":"RajamRV, RangaiahPN. \u2018Donovanosis.\u2019 WHO Monograph Series N1, 1954;24:1\u201372"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/095646206775809150"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.78.6.452"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.76.4.321"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C5","first-page":"241","volume":"5","author":"Kanwar AJ","year":"1977","journal-title":"Castellania \u2013 Dermatologie (Berlin)"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C6","first-page":"54","volume":"63","author":"Sehgal VN","year":"1987","journal-title":"Genitourin Med"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1990.tb03720.x"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C8","first-page":"25","volume":"59","author":"U.S. Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2010","journal-title":"MMWR"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-12-096C9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/0956462021924965"}],"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,27]],"date-time":"2025-01-27T14:37:50Z","timestamp":1737988670000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/ijsa.2012.012096","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0956-4624"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1758-1052"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}}}
