Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2016 Oct;29(4):418-419. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2016.11929494.

Abstract

We describe a 60-year-old man who presented with rectal pain and bleeding of a month's duration. His presentation was highly suggestive of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) proctitis. Nucleic acid amplification for chlamydia and gonorrhea via rectal swab revealed evidence supportive of anorectal chlamydia. Treatment with doxycycline resulted in complete resolution of his symptoms.
