https://doi.org/10.14309/crj.2018.98Abstract
A 37-year-old man with a history of receptive and penetrating anal sex with men presented with abdominal pain, bright red blood per rectum, and fevers. Recent evaluation by his primary care doctor was notable for negative urine for Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis. Rectal swab on admission was positive for C. trachomatis. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with lymphogranuloma venereum, a disease typically seen in tropical climates, although it is more common now in western countries, specifically in men who have sex with men. Treatment consisted of a course of doxycycline for 3 weeks, with resolution of symptoms.
