Abstract

Lymphogranuloma venereum in the United Kingdom was detected in 2004, following the introduction of enhanced surveillance. This report describes a previously undiagnosed case, detected retrospectively in a sample obtained in 2003 from a male patient with high-risk behaviour, indicating that this previously rare disease in Europe, was present in the UK in 2003.

摘要

2004年，在加强监测措施实施后，英国检测到了性病性淋巴肉芽肿。本报告描述了一例此前未被诊断出的病例，该病例是在对一名有高危行为的男性患者于2003年采集的样本中进行回顾性检测时发现的，这表明这种在欧洲以前较为罕见的疾病在2003年时已在英国出现。
