AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined anorectal specimens for Chlamydia trachomatis to identify lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) between 2008 and 2015, focusing on men who have sex with men in NYC Sexual Health Clinics.
- Researchers found an increase in LGV positivity rates during this period, indicating a growing public health concern.
- The analysis of clinical data helped to identify predictors for anorectal LGV, potentially aiding in better clinical management and treatment strategies.
Article Abstract
Using Chlamydia trachomatis anorectal specimens routinely tested for lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) (2008-2011) and samples of archived specimens tested for LGV (2012-2015), we observed increased LGV positivity among men who have sex with men attending NYC Sexual Health Clinics. Using clinical data, we determined predictors of anorectal LGV that may guide clinical management.
