Overview
The most common symptom of primary LGV is a painless papule or ulcer. Secondary LGV is characterized by painful inguinal and/or femoral lymphadenopathy, or Iliac and/or perirectal lymphadenopathy in patients with rectal exposure. Proctolcolits may also develop at this stage. Tertiary LGV symptoms include Lymphatic and rectal fibrosis, genital elephantiasis, esthiomene (chronic ulcerative disease of vulva), edema, tenesmus and rectal discharge. LGV may spread systemically and cause the following symptoms: fever, chills, malaise, myalgia, arthralgia, arthritis, hepatitis or perihepatitis, and pneumonitis.
