Abstract
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a systemic sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) L1 L2 and L3 the organism gains entrance through skin breaks and abrasions and travels via the lymphatics to multiply within mononuclear phagocytes in regional lymph nodes. The clinical presentation of LGV depends on the sex of the patient mode of sexual contact (e.g. vaginal or anal sex) and the stage of the disease. LGV is diagnosed in men up to 6 times more frequently than in women but the infected women are more likely developed to late stage. LGV is rare in China however the incidence was increasing in recent years. In this paper we diagnosed a case of LGV and confirmed this case was caused by L3 serovar of C. trachomatis by using genotype test. (excerpt)
