The use of sulphamethoxypridazine (Lederkyn) was studied in 50 male cases of chancroid and compared to an equal number of cases treated with sulphadiazine. The periods of cure were found to be 6.2 days and 5.04 days with Lederkyn and sulphadiazine respectively. Considering the statistical deviations the therapeutic response with both drugs was almost the same. The cost of Lederkyn compared favourably with that of sulphadiazine. The main advantage of Lederkyn was the ease of administration and reliability regarding intake. This was the main single factor which made Lederkyn superior to sulphadiazine. 68% of the patients were in age group 20-29 years. The lesions were single and multiple in 44% and 56% of patients respectively. Adenitis was present in 44% patients which responded favourably with lederkyn. No bubo was seen. 16% acquired infection from prostitutes and the rest from amateurs or promiscuous women.
