Overview

Lymphogranuloma venereum was described first by Wallace in 1833 and again by Durand, Nicolas, and Favre in 1913.

Historical Perspective

  • Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) was first described by Wallace in 1833.
  • Clinical aspects of LGV were described by N. Joseph Durand, Maurice Favre, and Joseph Nicolas in 1913.[1]
  • An outbreak in the Netherlands in 2004 among gay men has led to greater surveillance of LGV in Europe and the United States.[2][3]
