“…In the present study, LGV2b (ST58) was isolated from three patients and ST108 from a third, demonstrating the global spread of these virulent strains. The ongoing epidemic of biovar L2b that was first identified in the Netherlands in 2003, mainly among HIV-positive MSM (Nieuwenhuis et al, 2004;Nieuwenhuis et al, 2003;Spaargaren et al, 2005), has spread globally to other industrialized countries (Martin-Iguacel et al, 2010;Kendall et al, 2014;Cabello Ubeda et al, 2016;Parra-Sanchez et al, 2016;Templeton et al, 2016;Isaksson et al, 2017;Latini et al, 2017). This is the first report of this biovar in Israel.…”

“…A large percentage of men are HIV and/or hepatitis C positive and very few cases, if any, are detected in heterosexual men or women. Asymptomatic cases have been detected, but the vast majority of cases present with symptoms of rectal infection (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

Background: Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes L 1 , L 2 and L 3 . This LGV is associated with significant morbidity and increased risk of HIV transmission. While fewer than two cases per year were reported in Quebec before 2005, LGV emerged in 2005-2006 with 69 cases, followed by a period of low incidence (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012), and subsequent re-emergence since 2013.

“…LGV (99.8%) and non-LGV (95.1%) anorectal CT infections primarily affected men but some women with non-LGV anorectal CT infections were diagnosed (Table 1). Overall, men with LGV infections were older (median age [inter-quartile range (IQR)]¼ 41 [34-48])) than men with non-LGV (median age [IQR]¼32 [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]) CT infections. MSM were predominant among cases of LGV and non-LGV anorectal CT infections, and comprised greater than 51 and 67% of the cases, respectively.…”

The objective of this article is to describe the epidemiology of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and non-LGV Chlamydia trachomatis anorectal infections in France and to examine the characteristics of the affected populations via a voluntary sentinel surveillance system for LGV between 2010 and 2015. Anorectal samples positive for C. trachomatis (CT) were sent by the participating laboratories to the National Reference Center for CT for LGV identification. Biological and clinical data were collected by biologists and clinicians. There were 1740 LGV episodes and 2248 non-LGV episodes. Continuous monitoring highlighted a sharp increase in the number of LGV and non-LGV anorectal infections, which were 2.3-fold and 6.5-fold, respectively. Most of the infections occurred in men who have sex with men. LGV patients were older than non-LGV patients and were more frequently human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive compared to non-LGV patients. Anorectal LGV was significantly associated with residence in Paris, HIV co-infection, concurrent syphilis and bloody anal discharge. Undocumented patient characteristics were strongly associated with anorectal LGV. The anorectal LGV epidemic is poorly controlled in France. Early detection and prompt treatment of patients and their sexual partners are required to prevent transmission in the context of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV infection.
