The standard method for identifying K. granulomatis and suggesting<unk>  as the diagnosis is a smear and stain of ulcer material. Microscopy of the stain reveals Donovan bodies within monocytes that may or may not be capsulated. If swabs are taken for other diagnostic tests, the smear for Donovan bodies should be taken first to ensure there is adequate material to detect the Donovan bodies. K. granulomatis has been isolated via culture methods but is difficult and not practical as a tool for diagnosis.
