Lymphogranuloma Venereum Detection in Chlamydia trachomatis Positive Self-Collected Mail-in Male Rectal Samples in Maryland, United States
Lymphogranuloma venereum was detected in CT-positive rectal swabs from users of an online, mail-in, self-collect STI testing platform in Maryland. These data suggest that increased LGV reflexive testing may be warranted to better understand the cotemporary epidemiology of LGV. These data also illustrate that mail-in programs for routine STI testing may be leveraged for public health surveillance purposes.
