目的 探讨外阴-阴道-牙龈综合征(VVGS)的临床特征及治疗策略.方法 收集11例VVGS患者的临床资料并进行分析.结果 11例VVGS确诊时的平均年龄和中位年龄均为46岁,平均病程4年.疼痛糜烂性红斑位于阴道前庭7例,齿龈10例,双侧颊黏膜5例;性交疼痛8例;阴道溢血4例.7例应用小剂量甲泼尼龙联合羟氯喹或秋水仙碱,4例仅口服羟氯喹,11例患者均外用0.1%他克莫司软膏,8例获痊愈或显效,未见明显不良反应.结论 VVGS多见于中年女性,痛性红斑好发于阴道前庭和齿龈,性交疼痛常见.甲泼尼龙联合羟氯喹片及单独应用羟氯喹治疗轻症患者疗效好.0.1%他克莫司软膏可作为局部维持治疗的药物之一.

Clinical analysis of 11 cases of vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome

Objective To investigate clinical features and therapeutic protocols of vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome(VVGS). Methods Clinical data were collected from 11 female patients with VVGS and analyzed. Results Among the 11 patients, the mean and median ages at a definite diagnosis of VVGS were both 46 years, and the average disease duration was 4 years. Painful erosive erythema was found on the vaginal vestibule in 7 patients, on the gingiva in 10, as well as on the bilateral buccal mucosa in 5. Additionally, 8 and 4 patients reported dyspareunia and vaginal hemorrhage, respectively. Seven patients were treated with low-dose oral methylprednisolone combined with hydroxychloroquine or colchicine, and the other 4 were treated with oral hydroxychloroquine alone. Furthermore, all of the 11 patients applied topical tacrolimus 0.1%ointment. Finally, 8 patients were cured or markedly improved. No obvious adverse reactions were observed in any of the patients. Conclusions VVGS mostly occurs in middle-aged women, with the vaginal vestibule and gingiva as predilection sites of painful erythema and dyspareunia as common symptoms. Patients have good responses to methylprednisolone combined with hydroxychloroquine, and hydroxychloroquine alone also shows good efficacy in patients with mild VVGS. Tacrolimus 0.1%ointment can be one of drugs for topical maintenance treatment of VVGS.
