      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Case_10-pres1-1.jpg

This young adult experienced the acute onset of tender, enlarged lymph nodes in both groins.

10. Lymphogranuloma venereum

A sexually transmitted infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. In this patient, affected lymph nodes above and below the inguinal fold created the “groove sign” bilaterally. Although not pathognomonic, this sign is characteristic of lymphogranuloma venereum and should immediately suggest the diagnosis.
