Since 2003, outbreaks of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) have been reported in European countries, North America, and Australia. Current LGV cases have been caused by Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L2. This sexually transmitted infection is predominantly found among men who have sex with men, specifically men who are seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus and have clinical signs of proctitis. The current outbreak has been almost exclusively attributed to a new variant, designated L2b. Although urogenital cases of LGV have been described in the heterosexual population, we report the first case of C. trachomatis L2b proctitis in a woman.
自 2003 年以来，欧洲国家、北美和澳大利亚都报告了淋巴肉芽肿性尿道炎（LGV）的爆发。目前的 LGV 病例是由沙眼衣原体血清型 L2 引起的。这种性传播感染主要发生在男男性行为者中，特别是艾滋病毒血清阳性且有直肠炎临床症状的男性。目前的疫情几乎完全归因于一种新的变体，称为 L2b。虽然异性恋人群中也有 LGV 的泌尿生殖道病例描述，但我们报告了首例女性沙眼衣原体 L2b 直肠炎病例。
