Diagnostic and Clinical Implications of Anorectal Lymphogranuloma Venereum in Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

Abstract

LGV testing is recommended for MSM with anorectal chlamydia. If routine LGV serovar typing is unavailable, we propose administration of syndromic LGV treatment for MSM with anorectal chlamydia and either proctitis detected by proctoscopic examination, > 10 white blood cells/high-power field detected on an anorectal smear specimen, or HIV seropositivity.
