**14. Lymphogranuloma venereum**

**Clinic:** Lymphogranuloma venereum is a sexually transmitted disease with suppurative inguinal lymphadenitis and is common in tropical climates. The first sign of LGV, which is a systemic disease, is a painless papule that can ulcerate at the inoculation site. Later, painful and unilateral regional lymphadenopathy develops and may fistulize. In men, lymph nodes above and below the Poupart ligament are frequently involved. Involved lymph nodes become suppurative, purple, and painful over time. Adhesions may occur in the genital area. Perirectal lymph nodes are mainly involved in homosexual men and women. The disease leads to proctitis and bloody mucopurulent anal discharge. Systemic symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, conjunctivitis, skin rashes, arthralgia, and muscle pains are also accompanied [6].
