3. Donovanosis and AIDS There is already evidence that donovanosis may behave differently in patients with AIDS. An early report describes donovanosis appearing with typical clinical lesions in two AIDS patients but failing to respond to extended courses of treatment with combinations of cotrimoxazole, tetracycline and thiamphenicol.219 The explanation for these failures is likely to lie not so much in primary antibiotic resistance but in inability of antibiotics to clear the infection in the presence of immune deficiency. If immune suppression is an important factor in the observed association between haematogenous dissemination of donovanosis and pregnancy, then this rare complication of donovanosis may begin to appear more frequently as AIDS spreads to areas endemic for donovanosis. In South Africa it has been noted that patients with donovanosis often remain sexually active' and that HIV-1 seropositivity is significantly associated with donovanosis.`
