A 41-year-old HIV-positive man who has sex with men (MSM) with a family history of
deep vein thrombosis
(
DVT
) presented to the emergency department with an acutely swollen lower limb. The initial clinical diagnosis was of a possible
DVT
and the patient was anticoagulated. However, investigations subsequently excluded

lymphogranuloma venereum
(
LGV
) infection went unrecognized. This is the first reported case of
LGV
infection mimicking a
DVT
. Prompt recognition and treatment of the initial proctitis may have prevented the development of SARA.
