Historical Perspective
- Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) was first described by Wallace in 1833.
- Clinical aspects of LGV were described by N. Joseph Durand, Maurice Favre, and Joseph Nicolas in 1913.[1]
- An outbreak in the Netherlands in 2004 among gay men has led to greater surveillance of LGV in Europe and the United States.[2][3]
