if i tested neg for chlamydia would that mean im negative for lymphogranuloma venereum
Lymphogranuloma venereum is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by specific strains of the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is rare in New Zealand. It has several features. Firstly, small painless ulcers may appear on the genitals but often go unnoticed as they heal quickly. Most people seek care weeks later when painful and swollen lymph glands develop around the groin region. Complications occur such as abcesses or fistulas occur when the infection becomes deep-seated......The main method of diagnosis is using an antibody blood test (complement fixation titers of >1:64) and excluding other causes of swollen lymph glands or genital ulcers |
