Between 2001 and 2020, 54 LGV cases were diagnosed in a sexually transmitted disease clinic in Lisbon, most in men who have sex with men (87%), HIV negative (63%), from the anorectal mucosa (72.2%). Cases among heterosexuals were also identified (13%). Surveillance programs irrespective of sexual orientation and HIV status are needed to avoid the morbidity associated with LGV.
