First Stage (Primary LGV)
Second Stage (Secondary LGV)
- Characterized by painful lymphodenopathy
- Lymphodenopathy most commonly involves inguinal lymph nodes
- Lymphadenopathy may present as fluctuant buboes or abscesses[2]
Third Stage (Tertiary LGV)
- Termed genitoanorectal syndrome
- Characterized by proctocolitis[3]
