Doxycycline for anal lymphogranuloma venereum infection
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 7-day course of the antibiotic doxycycline can effectively treat an anal infection called lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) in people who have no symptoms. If you have already started doxycycline for this infection, this study may help confirm if the short course is enough.
