Rectal lymphogranuloma venereum: an emergent clinical presentation
Abstract
Lymphogranuloma venereum is a rare sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by serotypes L1, L2 and L3 of Chlamydia trachomatis.
For over a decade, there has been a considerable increase in the incidence of LGV proctitis in almost exclusively men who have sex with men with STI risk behaviors.
Four cases of rectal LGV are reported.
