1.它是什麼？
軟性下疳是一種性接觸傳播的細菌性傳染病。在發展中國家比發達國家更普遍。但是，隨著當今不斷增加的旅遊交往，它偶爾波及富裕的西方社會。為了將它與梅毒的“硬下疳”相區別，這種傳染病也就稱為“軟性下疳”了。2.它由什麼所引起？
軟性下疳由杜克雷嗜血桿菌（haemophilus ducreyi）感染所導致。
3.它如何傳播？
該傳染病通過性接觸傳染，也就是陰道性交、口交和肛交都可以傳染該病。在一些西方國家，它主要由性工作者傳染給顧客。未做包皮環切術的男性比做過環切術的男性會冒更大的風險。當分娩時，母親也能夠將病菌傳染給她的新生寶寶。如果對感染的有孕母親做剖腹產，能夠降低新生寶寶感染的風險。

Chancroid
I 1. What is it?
Chancroid is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. It is much more common in developing than in developed countries. However, with today’s increasing international travel, it occasionally reaches richer Western societies. The disease is also called "soft chancre" to differentiate it from the "hard chancre" of syphilis.
2. What causes it?
Chancroid is caused by the bacterium haemophilus ducreyi.
3. How is it transmitted?
The disease is spread by sexual contact, i.e. vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse. In some Western countries, the infection is transmitted mainly by sex workers to their clients. Uncircumcised males run a greater risk of infection than circumcised males. The bacterium can also be transmitted by a mother to her baby while she is giving birth. The risk can be reduced if the baby of an infected mother is delivered by Caesarian section.
