Abstract		In Slovenia, lymphogranuloma venereum is a rare disease. After the Second World War, we registered only 6 patients, and all of them became infected in tropic and subtropic countries of Africa and Asia. Since the disease appears only rarely, it can easily be overlooked or misdiagnosed. We present a case of a sailor who was presumably infected in the South of Africa. The clinical investigations and laboratory diagnosis were conducted in the Primary Health Centre in Celje, and in the Institute of Microbiology, Medical Faculty, Ljubljana.
