Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted disease that increases in incidence, particularly in more developed countries worldwide. LGV is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis serovars/genovars L1-3, including their subvariants, and in Europe mostly affects men who have sex with men (MSM). It can be asymptomatic but has now emerged as a frequent cause of severe proctitis/proctocolitis, especially in MSM. LGV has often been misdiagnosed as C. trachomatis serovars/genovars D-K infection. It is essential with accurate diagnosis that ensures appropriate treatment and protects the patient from complications and sequelae as well as from the consequences of misdiagnosis, e.g. as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. We present a systematic review of LGV and two new LGV cases diagnosed in Poland.
性病性淋巴肉芽肿（LGV）是一种性传播疾病，其发病率在全球范围内呈上升趋势，尤其是在较为发达国家。LGV由沙眼衣原体血清型/基因变种L1 - 3引起，包括其亚变种，在欧洲主要影响男男性行为者（MSM）。它可能无症状，但目前已成为严重直肠炎/直肠结肠炎的常见病因，尤其是在男男性行为者中。LGV常被误诊为沙眼衣原体血清型/基因变种D - K感染。准确诊断至关重要，这可确保适当治疗，保护患者免受并发症和后遗症以及误诊后果（如炎症性肠病或癌症）的影响。我们对LGV进行了系统综述，并报告了在波兰诊断出的两例新的LGV病例。
