Incidence of Donovanosis in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad has been evaluated for six years period from 1962-1967. This part of Andhra Pradesh is not endemic for Donovanosis and the incidence is one of the lowest. The statistic for the period of two years 1966 and 1967 from Gandhi Hospital shows three-fold increase in the incidence of Donovanosis as compared to the incidence from Osmania General Hospital. Reasons for this disparity have been discussed. Two years is too short a period to take this disparity into consideration and so further study of Donovanosis for a longer period is indicated. This part of Andhra Pradesh being the state capital has become potentially susceptible for Donovanosis on account of the floating population. The study of Donovanosis apart from the reasons given will be welcome to the students of Donovanosis as such reports from other part of this subcontinent are few and far between and the need to evaluate this disease from other parts of India has been expressed by many authors.
