Chronic proctitis in male homosexuals due to lymphogranuloma venereum.
Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) has been infrequently reported as a cause of proctitis. We report 3 homosexual men with chronic ulcerative proctitis which was cured after therapy for LGV. The complement fixation test for LGV was positive in 2 of the 3 patients.
