Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: We report the first case of reactive arthritis associated with lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) in an Italian human immunodeficiency virus–negative woman with urogenital and rectal Chlamydia trachomatis L2 serovar infection. The LGV-associated arthritis has to be considered even when classic symptoms of arthritis are missing and in case of asymptomatic or cryptic LGV localizations. Abstract : A case of reactive arthritis secondary to lymphogranuloma venereum urogenital and anorectal infection in a human immunodeficiency virus–negative woman was reported.
