Abstract

As reported previously, lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) has emerged as a significant public health problem in the Netherlands since an outbreak among mainly HIV-positive men having sex with men (MSM) in Rotterdam in 2004 [1,2]. As of March 2007, 232 confirmed cases of LGV had been reported in the Netherlands.
