Beforeit was considered a rare disease in industrialised countries but it was endemic in parts of Africa, Asia, South America, and Caribbean countries. In the third stage, which occurs when the disease progresses untreated, lymph node necroinflammation leads to obstruction of lymphatic drainage and genital elephantiasis.
Pathological examination of rectal biopsies showed granulation tissue, increase in polymorphonuclear leucocytes, fibrin exudate associated with fibrosis and stromal limfogranuloma. Furthermore, it is not considered an opportunistic infection as most of the cases described were under antiretroviral treatment and with normal CD4 lymphocyte count.
The cause of the hepatosplenomegaly, discovered by ultrasonography, remained unclear; the patient’s hepatic parameters were normal, arguing against the possibility of an infectious etiology. Disease or Syndrome T In case of complicated disease with fistulas or anal strictures, and after antibiotic treatment, surgery or aspiration and drainage of lymph nodes may be needed.

The progression of the infection can lead to major complications: Virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana. It seems that these individuals do not represent a reservoir of the disease.
Surgical excision of the affected lymph nodes was performed under local anaesthesia. It is necessary to define the diagnostic targets and the monitoring of risk populations to prevent the increase in cases and the concomitant infections. Evidently, LGV is a disease that, within the socalled initial papule or stage 1a, limfogranuloma also be surgically treated.
LGV is a public health problem. How to turn an endemic disease into an outbreak of a new disease? It is assumed that each stage of LGV has a different clinical and histopathological morphology.
