Lymphogranuloma venereum: here to stay?

Unusual transmission route of Lymphogranuloma venereum; following sexual contact with a female donkey.

Here, we present a 20-year-old man who presented with painful inguinal and femoral masses. He gave a history of sexual contact with a mare 14 days before his recent illness. He was diagnosed with lymphogranuloma venereum based on the histopathological findings and a high titre of IgG (1:1400).

The laboratory diagnosis of lymphogranuloma venereum.

Although the literature on this subject is already quite considerable there is still some doubt as to the exact value of the different laboratory procedures available for the diagnosis of lymphogranuloma venereum. This does not, of course, apply to the demonstration of lymphogranuloma venereum virus in material from a suspected case of this disease, for this, as in any infective process, is of ...

The Antigenic Relationship of the Viruses of Meningopneumonitis and Lymphogranuloma Venereum

Animals recovered from infection with the viruses of lymphogranuloma venereum, meningopneumonitis, and psittacosis, were reinoculated in crossimmunity tests with these viruses. In mice immunized by intracerebral or intranasal inoculation a reciprocal partial cross-immunity between the viruses of lymphogranuloma venereum and meningopneumonitis was demonstrated. In preliminary experiments, simila...

Lymphogranuloma venereum causing a persistent genital ulcer.

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted cause of inguinal lymphadenopathy and proctocolitis. We report a patient with a persistent genital ulcer due to LGV (serovar L2b), an unusual presentation among US men who have sex with men. Lymphogranuloma venereum should be considered when evaluating persistent genital ulcers, and LGV-specific testing should be sought.
