Molecular diagnosis of lymphogranuloma venereum in patients with genital ulcer disease

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 43, No. 6, Year 2005

The detection of herpes, chancroid, and syphilis in genital ulcers is done by PCR. This is not so for lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). We report on the use of a PCR with digestion that differentiates the LGV biovar from the trachoma biovar. Our findings suggest that the clinical description of LGV in current textbooks is incomplete.
