Despite social distancing measures implemented in Madrid to prevent the propagation of SARS-CoV-2, a significant increase (57.1%; 28.5 to 38.5 cases/month) in cases of lymphogranuloma venereum was detected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This unusual scenario might have accelerated a shift in (CT) epidemiology towards a higher proportion of L genotypes compared with non-L genotypes in CT-positive samples. Our data underscore the importance of surveillance of sexually transmitted infections during the pandemic, in particular among vulnerable populations.
尽管马德里采取了社交隔离措施来防止 SARS-CoV-2 的传播,但在 COVID-19 大流行期间,仍发现了性病淋巴肉芽肿病例的显著增加(57.1%;28.5 至 38.5 例/月)。这种不寻常的情况可能加速了 CT 阳性样本中 L 型与非 L 型相比的 CT 流行病学向更高比例 L 型的转变。我们的数据强调了在大流行期间监测性传播感染的重要性,特别是在弱势群体中。
