Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)

What is LGV?

LGV (Lymphogranuloma venereum) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by three strains of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. The visual signs include genital papule(s) (e.g., raised surface or bumps) and or ulcers, and swelling of the lymph glands in the genital area. LGV may also produce rectal ulcers, bleeding, pain, and discharge, especially among those who practice receptive anal intercourse. Genital lesions caused by LGV can be mistaken for other ulcerative STDs such as syphilis, genital herpes, and chancroid. Complications of untreated LGV may include enlargement and ulcerations of the external genitalia and lymphatic obstruction, which may lead to elephantiasis of the genitalia.
How common is LGV?

Signs and symptoms associated with rectal infection can be mistakenly thought to be caused by ulcerative colitis. While the frequency of LGV infection is thought to be rare in industrialized countries, its identification is not always obvious, so the number of cases of LGV in the United States is unknown. However, outbreaks in the Netherlands and other European countries among men who have sex with men (MSM) have raised concerns about cases of LGV in the U.S.
How do people get LGV?

LGV is passed from person to person through direct contact with lesions, ulcers or other area where the bacteria is located. Transmission of the organism occurs during sexual penetration (vaginal, oral, or anal) and may also occur via skin to skin contact. The likelihood of LGV infection following an exposure is unknown, but it is considered less infectious than some other STDs. A person who has had sexual contact with a LGV-infected partner within 60 days of symptom onset should be examined, tested for urethral or cervical chlamydial infection, and treated with doxycycline, twice daily for 7 days.

Unprotected sex, or getting up close and personal with someone's ulceration is my understanding of how this complex of bacteriae proliferate.

It's just freaking stupid to have unprotected sex.

Let 'im hear it from Sweden. At least they protect their own people from threats like this one.

Oh, yeah. I promised a Rogue's gallery. This one is as good as any:

LGV is due to a variant of Chlamydia trachomatis. Unlike other STDs, this STD has papular lesions (not visible) rather than ulcers and granulomatous microabscesses in the inguinal lymph nodes. Obstruction of lymphatics leads to localized lymphedema. Rectal strictures are also common in women. Duke University[/FONT]

Still wonder why Sweden would like to speak directly in a no-nonsense way with Mr. Julian Paul Assange, a class 1 anus who desires unprotected sex when he is paying? Unfortunately for him, it just isn't legal in civilized countries.
