Abstract

Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted infection caused by invasive serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis. There have been only a few case reports of oropharyngeal C. trachomatis infection complicated with cervical LGV. We report a case of a HIV-positive male patient with cervical LGV that presented a poor evolution despite appropriate treatment.
