Also, there is the detailed description of two cases which were complicated with dissemination of the granuloma inguinate to distant organs of the body; one shows knee joint lesions and the other the invasion of the lungs. 9 cases were successfully treated with a semisynthetic Tetracycline drug alone and one patient, received the combined treatment of Tetracycline and Streptomycine, with spectacularly good results.
