PIP: Clinical and microbiological assessments of genital ulcer disease (GUD) were taken in 100 men and 100 women with genital ulcers at the City Health Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinic of King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban, South Africa. The study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of clinical diagnosis in GUD and to devise strategies for improving the control of GUD and the spread of HIV-1 infection. The authors found clinical diagnosis in genital ulceration to generally be less accurate in men than in women. Diagnostic accuracies for donovanosis and secondary syphilis were relatively high, but low for most other conditions. The observed differences between clinical and laboratory diagnostic accuracies may reflect similarities between the clinical appearances of the various causes of GUD, the presence of mixed infections, atypical ulceration due to longstanding disease, and insensitive laboratory tests. It is recommended that all large ulcers in this community be treated empirically for syphilis and donovanosis. Rapid accurate tests for GUD urgently need to be developed. The authors also stress that uncircumcised men with GUD are an important HIV core group locally and that prevention strategies should include counseling and health education given the inaccuracy of clinical diagnosis found in the study.
