導致性病性淋巴結肉芽腫的細菌
(拉丁語:沙眼衣原體-lat. chlamydia trachomatis)

The bacteria causing Lymphogranuleum venereum
(lat. chlamydia trachomatis)

1.它是什麼?
性病性淋巴結肉芽腫(Lymphogranuloma venereum ,LGV) 是一種通過性接觸傳播的細菌性傳染病。疾病導致淋巴結發炎,最常見於腹股溝(腹股溝淋巴結)並損傷其周圍組織。該病在中南美洲、西亞和東亞以及東南亞常見。儘管在一些國家的港口城市有所發現,但是在其他地方罕見。(中國大陸近年未見病例,但旅遊人員來往頻繁,需保持警惕——譯者注。)

2.它由什麼引起?
性病性淋巴結肉芽腫由沙眼衣原體的3個亞型感染所引起(它們是與導致更常見的衣原體的亞型病菌不相同的微生物。)

3.它如何傳播?
通過陰道性交、口交和肛交可傳染。該病傳染性極強。

Lymphogranuleum venereum (LGV) (also called: Lymphogranuleum inguinale)

1. What is it?
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a bacterial infection transmitted by sexual contact. The disease produces an inflammation of the lymph nodes, most often in the groin (inguinal lymph nodes) and the destruction of the surrounding tissue. LGV is common in Central and South America, West and East Africa, and South East Asia. It is rare elsewhere, although it is sometimes found in the port cities of some countries.

2. What causes it?
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is caused by 3 subtypes of  the organism chlamydia trachomatis. (They are different from the subtype that causes the more common chlamydia.)

3. How is it transmitted?
LGV is transmitted through vaginal, oral and anal intercourse. It is very contagious.
