Background: Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) can have distinct clinical presentations, such as trachoma, or lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). Certain populations are at greater risk for LGV acquisition and transmission, which requires a longer duration of therapy than other urogenital CT sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Commercial assays are not available in the United States to distinguish LGV from non-LGV serovars.

Article Synopsis
- Persistent inguinal lymphadenopathy can be caused by various conditions, including the sexually transmitted infection lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), which may be overlooked due to diagnostic challenges.
- Two male patients with a high risk for STIs presented with inguinal lymphadenopathy; initial tests were negative, leading to prolonged diagnostic delays before confirming LGV.
- Both patients improved significantly after treatment with doxycycline, highlighting the importance of considering LGV in similar cases of persistent lymphadenopathy.

The incidence of syphilis and LGV has increased in recent years in Spain. Additionally, HSV, syphilis and chancroid can also increase the risk of HIV acquisition and transmission.
