Clinical Characteristics and Trends of Lymphogranuloma Venereum Versus Non-LGV Chlamydia trachomatis Anorectal Infections: A Six-Year Retrospective Study
This study highlights that, despite a decline in overall CT positivity with increased testing, the proportion of LGV cases has risen in high-risk populations. LGV is more common among men who have sex with men and people living with HIV, and is linked to more symptoms, co-infections, and risky sexual behaviors.
