Lynch, C M Felder, T L Schwandt, R A Shashy, R G Research Article Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a rare form of the sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. In the United States, there are fewer than 350 cases per year. In a review of the world's literature, there has not been a case reported in the last thirty years of a case of LGV presenting as a rectovaginal fistula. We present a case of an otherwise healthy American woman who presented with a rectovaginal fistula. Although uncommon, LGV does occur in developed countries and may have devastating tissue destruction if not recognized and treated before the tertiary stage. 1999 /pmc/articles/PMC1784745/ /pubmed/10449269 http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1098-0997(1999)7:4<199::AID-IDOG7>3.0.CO;2-K Text en
