Genital ulcers are among the seven syndromes of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) identified in Côte d’Ivoire. Ulcerative STIs present a public health problem because of their frequency and their role in the spread of HIV. Our objective was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of genital ulcers observed in the STI center of the National Institute of Public Hygiene in Abidjan.
