Abstrakt: Donovanosis is a chronic genital ulcerative disease caused by the intracellular Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella granulomatis, reported more frequently in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Here we present a case of relapsing donovanosis in a PLHA on second line antiretroviral therapy who had episodes of transient unexplained decrease in CD4 counts associated with rapid growth of the lesion and non-responsiveness to treatment followed by clinical resolution coinciding with recovery of the CD4 count.
