The classical inguinal presentation that is characterized by the development of transient genital ulcer(s) and inguinal or femoral lymphadenopathy has decreased in our environment. At present, infection by this bacterium has emerged as an important cause of proctitis and proctocolitis in men who have sex with other men. We report the case of a homosexual man with acute proctitis that was complicated by a perirectal abscess secondary to a Chlamydia trachomatis infection.enAbscessDiagnosis, DifferentialHumansLymphogranuloma VenereumMaleMiddle AgedProctitisProctitis and perirectal abscesses: is there anything else to think about?research article29722270open access10.17235/reed.2018.5500/2018https://doi.org/10.17235/reed.2018.5500/2018
