Introduction: Lymphogranuloma venereum is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis L1-3. There has been an increase in the incidence of lymphogranuloma venereum among homosexual men who have sex with men (MSM) in recent years. Objective: To present two cases of lymphogranuloma venereum patients with different clinical manifestations, and to review the literature. Case reports: A 26-year-old patient was admitted to the Department of Dermatology because of erythematous changes in the groin and lower abdomen The patient was diagnosed with lymphogranuloma venereum. Due to the lack of clinical improvement during the treatment with doxycycline, the treatment was modified to include rifampicin, resulting in the resolution of lesions. A 24-year-old MSM patient was admitted to the Department of Dermatology for the treatment of syphilis and HIV infection detected in the gastroenterological department and diagnosed because of intestinal ailments. Due to pelvic lymphadenopathy, an examination for C. trachomatis was performed to confirm infection. Treatment with doxycycline was initiated, resulting in relief of intestinal ailments. Conclusions: Due to the rarity and diverse morphology of lesions, LGV is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Ziarnica weneryczna pachwin jest chorobą przenoszoną drogą płciową, wywołaną przez Chlamydia trachomatis L1-3.

Si les chlamydioses rectales liées aux sérovars D à K sont généralement responsables de rectites peu ou pas symptomatiques, la lymphogranulomatose vénérienne (LGV) est souvent d'expression clinique bruyante. Il existe actuellement une épidémie de LGV dans la communauté homosexuelle masculine. Les formes cliniques observées ont la particularité d'être anorectales et non inguinales (forme tropicale classique). Les co-infections VIH et avec les autres infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST) sont fréquentes. Le diagnostic de la LGV repose sur l'identification de Chlamydia trachomatis par PCR et la confirmation du sérovar L1, L2 ou L3. Le traitement antibiotique doit être prolongé au moins pendant trois semaines (doxycycline ou érythromycine). Mots clés Lymphogranulomatose vénérienne · Chlamydia trachomatis · Rectite · Infection sexuellement transmissibleAbstract Usually, rectal chlamydiosis related to serovars D to K are responsible for mild symptoms of proctitis or are asymptomatic. Clinical expression of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is more severe with rectal syndrome. Actually, LGV epidemics are observed in men who have sex with men with anorectal expression instead of classical lymph-node tropical disease. Co-infections with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are common. Diagnosis of LGV needs to indentify Chlamydia trachomatis with PCR and to confirm L1, L2 or L3 serovar. Antibiotic treatment must be prolonged for at least three weeks (doxycyclin or erythromycin).
