Article Synopsis
- The text describes granuloma inguinale (donovanosis), a common sexually transmitted disease found mostly in tropical and subtropical areas, affecting both males and females.
- It includes two images: one of a direct smear showing Donovan bodies within large mononuclear cells, and another histological image displaying rod-shaped Donovan bodies in a histiocyte.
- The authors use Giemsa stain to highlight these clinical and microscopic features of the infection.
Background: Among the various occupations which necessarily require long-term and chronic sun exposure is that of a fisherman. However, clinical experience in dermatology earned over several years of medical practice does not seem to confirm this hypothesis.
Objective: To evaluate clinical, histological and immunological effects of long-term and chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation in fishermen.
