Overview

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) may be classified into three stages: primary LGV characterized by a self-limited papule, secondary LGV characterized by painful lymphadenopathy, and tertiary LGV (genitoanorectal syndrome) characterized by proctocolitis.

Classification

Clincal features of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) occur in three stages.

First Stage (Primary LGV)

  • Characterized by small, painless papule that may ulcerate
  • Papule is self-limited[1]

Second Stage (Secondary LGV)

Third Stage (Tertiary LGV)
