Recent intervention of nonspecific genital ulcers has added refreshing dimensions to genital ulcer disease. It was considered pertinent to dwell on diverse clinical presentation and diagnostic strategies. It seems to possess spectrum. It includes infective causes, Epstein Bar Virus, tuberculosis, Leishmaniasis, HIV/AIDS related ulcers and amoebiasis. Noninfective causes are immunobullous disorders, aphthosis, Behcet's disease (BD), inflammatory bowel disease, lichen planus and lichen sclerosis et atrophicus, drug reactions, premalignant and malignant conditions, pyoderma gangrenosum, and hidradenitis suppurativa. The diagnostic features and treatment option of each disorder are succinctly outlined for ready reference. 相似文献

Acute genital ulcers are painful and distressing to women and perplexing to the providers who care for them. The differential diagnosis includes sexually and nonsexually transmitted infections, autoimmune conditions, drug reactions, and local manifestations of systemic illness. However, in many cases, no causative agent is identified, and lesions are classified as idiopathic aphthosis. In the setting of fever and acute onset of genital ulcers in girls and women, the term Lipschutz ulcers has been used to describe ulcers associated with an immunologic reaction to a distant source of infection or inflammation. The aims of this article are to review the differential diagnosis and pathogenesis of acute genital ulcers, to offer an evaluation and classification scheme, and to discuss treatment options for the dermatologist who cares for women and girls with vulvar ulcers. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Little information is available on the incidence and etiology of chronic ulcers in the tropics. Therefore, the incidence and etiology of chronic skin ulcers were assessed in out-patients at the Department of Dermatology and in in-patients at the Departments of Dermatology, Surgery, Medicine, and Pediatrics, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), Blantyre, Malawi. METHOD: In a 10-week study period, 44 patients (31 males, 70%) with chronic skin ulcers were diagnosed from 6292 patients seen by the departments involved. RESULTS: The mean age of patients with ulcers was 38 years (range, 9 months to 82 years). The most frequent cause of ulcers was bacterial infection (n=22), followed by malignancy (n=11) and trauma (n=7). CONCLUSION: In contrast with developed countries, venous and diabetic ulcers were uncommon. In addition to bacterial infections, a surprisingly large number of malignancies were found in this study. We speculate that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which is seen with a high prevalence at QECH, is a contributing factor. Because of the large number of malignancies, we recommend early histopathologic investigation of chronic ulcers in this part of Africa. 相似文献

Three women with large, mutilating genital ulcers of long duration, destroying almost the lower half of the external genitalia, are reported. They had a history of recurrent oral ulcers as well. All patients had been diagnosed as having 'genital ulcer syndrome' in the past and had been treated with antimicrobials. Histopathology of the biopsy from the margin of the ulcer revealed features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Considering the history, clinical features and histology, a diagnosis of bipolar aphthosis was made in all patients. All patients responded well to immunosuppressive therapy. The cases are reported because of the presence of genital ulcers of an unusually large size, mutilating character and their close similarity to genital ulcers due to sexually transmitted diseases, especially genital herpes and donovanosis. 相似文献

The etiology of genital ulcers in women in tropical regions is poorly understood. Eighty-nine women, presenting to a sexually transmitted disease clinic in Nairobi (Kenya) with a primary complaint of genital ulcers, were evaluated prospectively in a clinical and laboratory study. A final etiologic diagnosis was possible for 60 (67%) of the women. Culture for Haemophilus ducreyi was positive for 43 women, eight had secondary syphilis with ulcerated condyloma latum, three had primary syphilis, one had both chancroid and syphilis, two had moniliasis, two had herpetic ulceration, and one had a traumatic ulcer. The clinical characteristics that best distinguished chancroid from secondary syphilis were ulcer excavation and a rough ulcer base. No etiologic diagnosis was established for 29 patients. However, the clinical and epidemiologic features of these patients suggested that they were similar if not identical to the patients with H. ducreyi culture-positive chancroid. Further studies are necessary to determine the etiology of ulcers in females in whom no pathogen was identified. 相似文献

Infectious mononucleosis is the best-known syndrome associated with primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. Although a variety of cutaneous and mucosal manifestations are recognized in infectious mononucleosis, genital ulcers have only rarely been described. We describe an otherwise healthy 14-year-old girl in whom painful genital ulcers developed during an episode of serologically-confirmed primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. Clinical, serologic, and histopathologic evaluation failed to disclose evidence of any other etiologic explanation for her lesions. The patient remains well, without recurrence. To date, only 13 instances of genital ulceration in females attributable to Epstein-Barr virus infection have been reported. 相似文献

Hydroxyurea is a chemotherapeutic agent used for myeloproliferative disorders and sickle cell anemia that is well known to cause painful mucocutaneous ulcers, typically involving the legs or mouth. However, genital ulcerations due to hydroxyurea therapy are a rare, and likely underrecognized, adverse effect with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. Ulcers of the lower legs caused by hydroxyurea are associated with a diagnostic delay, and this is likely exacerbated in cases of genital ulceration due to a lack of awareness. Herein we present two cases of painful genital ulceration in patients on hydroxyurea therapy. In the first Case, an 87 year-old male with polycythemia vera developed an ulcer on the scrotum, which was assessed initially through virtual visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and was refractory to topical and oral antibiotic treatments. The second case was a 79 year-old male with essential thrombocythemia and a history of persistent leg ulcers who developed erosions of the glans penis. Both patients experienced complete resolution within weeks of discontinuing hydroxyurea therapy. In conclusion, genital ulcers and erosions induced by hydroxyrea may be underrecognized in clinical practice, but if identified, withdrawal of hydroxyurea leads to quick resolution of these lesions and the associated pain. 相似文献

Lymphogranuloma inguinale, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis serovar L1-L3 is rare in patients from western countries but needs yet to be considered in the differential diagnosis of genital ulcers. We report a case of a young male patient without any eventful travel history who presented with a genital ulcer at the sulcus coronarius and painfully enlarged lymph nodes in the right inguinal area. The typical clinical picture and serum IgM and IgG antibody titers of 1:16 and 1:512, respectively, against C. trachomatis were suggestive of infection with C. trachomatis serovar L1-L3. The diagnosis was confirmed by isolation of the organisms from the ulcer ground and subsequent sequence analysis of the omp1 gene which led to identification of C. trachomatis genotype L2 with 99% homology to a reference strain of C. trachomatis serovar L2. The lesion healed rapidly under treatment with doxycycline for 3 weeks, and the lymph nodes did not ulcerate. Thus, clinical suspicion was confirmed by genotyping of the isolated strain allowing timely diagnosis and treatment of lymphogranuloma inguinale. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Clinical diagnosis of genital ulcers is difficult, and diagnostic tests are least available in settings where rates of disease are highest. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed protocols for the syndromic management of genital ulcers in resource-poor settings. However, because risk factors, patterns and causes of disease, and antimicrobial susceptibilities differ from region to region and over time, they must be adapted to local situations. GOAL: The goal of this study was to determine etiologic factors, evaluate syndromic management, and compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing with other diagnostic alternatives for genital ulcers among patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in the Dominican Republic and Peru. STUDY DESIGN: Eighty-one men with genital ulcers in the Dominican Republic and 63 in Peru underwent identical interviews and identical multiplex PCR (M-PCR) tests of genital lesion specimens for etiologic diagnoses. Algorithms for managing genital ulcers were developed. RESULTS: In the Dominican Republic, 5% were M-PCR-positive for, 26% for, and 43% for herpes simplex virus (HSV); in Peru, 10%, 5%, and 43%, respectively, were positive. The WHO algorithm for treating syphilis and chancroid had a sensitivity of 100%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 24%, and an overtreatment rate of 76%. A modified algorithm for treating only those without vesicular lesions had 88% sensitivity and a 27% PPV, and the overtreatment rate was reduced to 58%. CONCLUSION: HSV caused 43% of genital ulcers in these populations. The modified algorithm had lower sensitivity but a reduced overtreatment rate. M-PCR testing was more sensitive than standard tests and more specific and sensitive than clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

Background: The etiology of chronic leg ulcers is heterogenous and they exhibit quite different healing rates depending on the underlying cause. Although the prevalence and incidence of chronic leg ulcers appear to be increasing, data on these patients in Germany are lacking. Patients and Methods: Altogether 100 German wound care professionals were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding the diagnosis and etiology of their patients with chronic leg ulcers. Results: We received the data on 31,619 patients. In these patients, venous insufficiency was the dominating causative factor in 47.6 % and arterial insufficiency in 14.5 %, 17.6 % of ulcers were due to combined arterial and venous insufficiency. Rarer causes included vasculitis (5.1 %), exogenous factors (3.8 %), pyoderma gangrenosum (3.0 %), infection (1.4 %), neoplasia (1.1 %), calciphylaxis (1.1 %) and drug‐induced (1.1 %). The used diagnostic methods used varied widely between the medical and surgical specialties. Conclusions: Even though the results of our study cannot claim to be a representative overview, they demonstrate clearly that next to known etiologies, e. g. chronic venous insufficiency or peripheral arterial insufficiency, which are relevant in 79.7 % of all patients a multitude of other causes exist, which are responsible in 20.3 % of all patients for the development of chronic leg ulcers. 相似文献

The microbial aetiology of genital ulcers was assessed in 100 black men attending a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic in Durban, South Africa. Forty patients harboured Haemophilus ducreyi, one hepes simplex virus, and one Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Syphilis was diagnosed in 44 patients on the basis of dark field microscopy or positive syphilis serology test results, or both. Of these 44 patients, eight also harboured N ducreyi, one herpes simplex virus. Lymphogranuloma venereum was diagnosed in one patient. No cause of ulceration could be found in the remaining 16 patients. 相似文献

We describe a 42-year-old man with features of both Beh?et's disease and relapsing polychondritis. The term MAGIC syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage) has previously been used to describe similarly affected patients. We discuss the diagnostic criteria and pathogenetic mechanisms. 相似文献
