Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection that is causing an ongoing epidemic in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America. Twenty-nine rectal swabs positive for Chlamydia trachomatis were analyzed by real-time PCR for the presence of LGV serovars. Genotyping revealed an identical L2b serovar from four specimens. All patients were MSM and human immunodeficiency virus infected. Three of the four presented with severe ulcerative proctitis. We report a cluster of rectal LGV serovar L2b infections in Sydney, Australia.
性病性淋巴肉芽肿(LGV)是一种性传播感染疾病,在欧洲、英国和北美,正导致与男性发生性关系者(MSM)中出现持续的疫情。对29份沙眼衣原体检测呈阳性的直肠拭子进行实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)分析,以检测是否存在LGV血清型。基因分型显示,从4份标本中检测出相同的L2b血清型。所有患者均为MSM且感染了人类免疫缺陷病毒。4名患者中有3名出现了严重的溃疡性直肠炎。我们报告了在澳大利亚悉尼发生的一组直肠LGV血清型L2b感染病例。
