Six cases of lymphogranuloma venereum are described in White South Africans. All initially presented diagnostic problems. This sexually transmitted disease is uncommon in South Africa, and 5 of the 6 patients presented with inguinal lymphadenopathy without a primary lesion. The value of serological tests in the diagnosis of this disease is emphasized.
