ABSTRACT

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a rare sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by serotypes L1, L2 and L3 of Chlamydia trachomatis. This infection is most common in tropical and subtropical areas. For over a decade, there has been a considerable increase in the incidence of LGV proctitis in Western industrialized countries, almost exclusively in men who have sex with men (MSM). We report the case of an HIV-positive patient with STI risk behaviors, diagnosed with inguinal and rectal LGV associated with secondary syphilis.
