Simons R, et al. - Researchers undertook a retrospective review in 2 central London genitourinary medicine clinics of men who have sex with men (MSM) with lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), in whom less than 21 days of doxycycline was used initially, to gain the evidence base for LGV treatment including its duration. They noted that in most cases of LGV, 7 to 14 days of doxycycline was effective with negative test of cures (TOCs) in 59 of 60 patients. Data thereby suggest 7 days of doxycycline as effective in achieving cure of rectal LGV in most MSM.
