Lymphogranuloma venereum, caused by the L serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis, emerged in Europe in 2003 and a series of outbreaks were reported in different countries. The infection presents as a severe proctitis in men who have sex with men, many of whom are co-infected with HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. This paper reviews the number of cases reported over a five year period, from 2003 to 2008, from countries that were part of the European Surveillance of Sexually Transmitted Infections (ESSTI) network. Reports were received from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It appears that after five years the characteristics of the patients infected has overall remained unchanged, although the total number of cases has increased and more countries in Europe have now identified cases of LGV.
性病淋巴肉芽肿，由沙眼衣原体 L 血清型引起，于 2003 年在欧洲出现，并在不同国家报告了一系列暴发。该感染在男男性行为者中表现为严重的直肠炎，其中许多人同时感染艾滋病毒和其他性传播感染。本文回顾了 2003 年至 2008 年期间来自欧洲性传播感染监测网络（ESSTI）国家的五年期间报告的病例数。报告来自比利时、丹麦、法国、德国、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典和英国。尽管总病例数有所增加，并且欧洲现在有更多的国家发现了 LGV 病例，但感染患者的特征似乎在五年后总体上保持不变。
