Gunterovsky Shankr

Gunther's chancroid is a type of chancroid named after the Scottish anatomist and surgeon John Hunter (1728-1793).

A chancre is a painful ulcer or erosion on the skin or mucous membranes caused by the herpes simplex virus. Gunter's chancre is different in that it occurs in areas subject to friction or pressure, such as the fingers.

John Hunter first described this type of chancre in his writings on venereology. He noted that such ulcers often appear in medical workers who manipulate patients with syphilis. Hunter showed that Gunter's chancroid can occur without sexual transmission, but simply from contact with infected secretions and tissues.

This discovery contributed to the understanding of the mechanisms of transmission and pathogenesis of syphilis. In honor of John Hunter, such non-sexual chancres were called Hunterian chancre. They differ from the classic primary chancre, which appears on the genitals and lips when infected with syphilis through sexual contact.

John Hunter (J. Hunter, 15 June 1632 – 11 January 1702) was a Scottish physician and surgeon. He was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the National Academy of Sciences of Scotland. Gunter's chancroid (also known as chancroid) is an inflammatory skin disease of an infectious nature. It is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi, which can be transmitted sexually. Despite the fact that chancriform ulcers are a characteristic symptom of chancroid infection, the presence of the disease itself is determined on the basis of laboratory tests.

Gunther's ulcer is a chancre named after the English surgeon James Gunther (1751-1826) - his name translated from English means “spear” or “sword”, or simply translated as “spear”. It can be primary, which means it was the first and arose out of connection with syphilis, for example, with syphilis of the genitourinary tract. Such an ulcer can exist exclusively with the development of the vesicular form of genital lichen, sometimes called classic secondary chancroid according to Gunter.

Gunter's Chancrile was Carl Bunge, who received the first prize of the Munich Surgical Society during a conference on the study of syphilis in 1912. He wanted to perpetuate his memory by discovering a new case of the disease that could be used as a research subject, named after him: “Hunter's chancroid.”

He then determined that the disease was transmitted through blood. As a result, chancre got its name from Guneterov’s surname. After a long study, criteria for diagnosis and development of treatment methods were formulated.

The study took a major step forward in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Over the entire period of medical research, enormous strides have been made in the treatment of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia.
