Cangkroid is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Hemophilus ducreyi, where there are open sores (ulcers, ulcers) on the genitals that are persistent and painful.
CAUSE
Bacterium Hemophilus ducreyi. Uncircumcised males have a three times greater risk for contracting this disease and cangkroid itself a risk factor for infection by HIV.
SYMPTOMS
Symptoms begin to occur within 3-7 days after infection. Painful small blisters occur on the genitals and around anus. These blisters will soon burst and form open sores are shallow. The wound can be enlarged and joined to one another.
Lymph nodes in the groin may enlarge and coalesce to form an abscess (collection of pus). Skin over the abscess appears red and shiny and this abscess can rupture so the pus flow to the skin.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis based on symptoms and physical examination. Examples of pus was taken and cultured in the laboratory.
TREATMENT
Given an injection of antibiotics ceftriaxone or erythromycin every 6 hours for 7 days. Pus from the swollen lymph nodes can be removed with the aid of a needle. Patients monitored for at least 3 months to ensure that the infection has been cured. If possible, the sexual partners were also investigated, so that it can be checked and if necessary, treated.
PREVENTION
Cangkroid is a bacterial infection transmitted through sexual contact. To prevent the spread of cangkroid, do safe sex (using condoms or not have multiple sexual partners).
