Enhanced surveillance of a lymphogranuloma venereum outbreak in Sydney 2010-2012.

CONCLUSIONS: Characteristics of LGV cases in NSW are similar to those described worldwide, suggesting that a sexually adventurous subgroup of MSM are at particular risk of infection. IMPLICATIONS: Education of non-sexual-health clinicians on LGV risk factors, presentation, testing and management may allow more timely diagnosis and notification of contacts to reduce LGV transmission in the community.
