Overview
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) may be classified into three stages: primary LGV characterized by a self-limited papule, secondary LGV characterized by painful lymphadenopathy, and tertiary LGV (genitoanorectal syndrome) characterized by proctocolitis.
Classification
Clincal features of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) occur in three stages.
First Stage (Primary LGV)
Second Stage (Secondary LGV)
- Characterized by painful lymphadenopathy
- Lymphodenopathy most commonly involves inguinal lymph nodes
- Lymphadenopathy may present as fluctuant buboes or abscesses[2]
Third Stage (Tertiary LGV)
- Termed genitoanorectal syndrome
- Characterized by proctocolitis[3]
