In mid-December 2003, a cluster of 15 cases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) among male homosexuals was reported to the Municipal Health Service in Rotterdam by the Erasmus Medical Centre's outpatient clinic for sexually transmitted infections (STI). Most patients presented with proctitis and some with constipation. All were Caucasian and between 26 and 48 years of age. Thirteen of them were HIV-positive and eight had a concomitant STI. All men reported having had unprotected insertive and receptive anal sexual contact. Many sexual contacts were anonymous and were reported to have taken place in Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom and France. This outbreak of LGV may extend through a large part of western Europe. In view of the patients' international contacts, international warnings and alertness are needed. Concerted action of professionals in infectious disease control and curative care is called for.
2003年12月中旬，伊拉斯谟医疗中心性传播感染门诊向鹿特丹市卫生局报告了15例男性同性恋者患腹股沟肉芽肿（LGV）的病例群。大多数患者表现为直肠炎，部分患者伴有便秘。所有患者均为白种人，年龄在26至48岁之间。其中13人感染了艾滋病毒，8人同时患有性传播感染。所有男性均报告有过无保护的插入式和接受式肛交。许多性接触对象不明，据报告这些接触发生在德国、比利时、英国和法国。此次LGV疫情可能蔓延至西欧大部分地区。鉴于患者的国际接触情况，需要发出国际警告并提高警惕。呼吁传染病控制和治疗护理方面的专业人员采取协调行动。
