      Haemophilus ducreyi and Campylobacter granulomatis are fastidious, poorly understood, sexually transmitted pathogens.

Its ability to facilitate the transmission of HIV-1 should lead to additional efforts to understand and control this disease. Laboratory diagnosis involves culture; serologic methods are under investigation.
