Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection associated with genital ulceration and lymphadenopathy caused by Haemophilus ducreyi. Localized skin infections, in the absence of genital lesions, have not been previously reported. We report 3 cases of lower limb ulceration in children caused by H. ducreyi and postulate that H. ducreyi may be a previously unrecognized cause of chronic skin ulceration.
软下疳是一种由杜克雷嗜血杆菌引起的性传播感染,与生殖器溃疡和淋巴结病相关。此前尚未报道过在无生殖器病变情况下的局部皮肤感染。我们报告了3例由杜克雷嗜血杆菌引起的儿童下肢溃疡病例,并推测杜克雷嗜血杆菌可能是慢性皮肤溃疡此前未被认识到的病因。
