Chancroid in an Immunocompromised Patient

Chancroid (or chancroid or Ducrey's chancre) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Ducrey's bacillus (or Haemophilus ducreyi), characterized by an ulcerated inoculation chancre associated with lymphadenopathy. We report the case of a 40-year-old female patient who presented with multiple genital ulcers one week after unprotected intercourse. Haemophilus ducrey was detected on culture, and the patient was treated with antibiotics with good progress.
