Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Genital ulcers can present with various etiologies, necessitating thorough investigation.
  • Acute vulvar ulcers are uncommon, particularly in adolescents.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old female presented with acute genital ulcers.
  • The ulcers exhibited a gangrenous appearance.
  • The patient displayed cutaneous anergy, indicating impaired cell-mediated immunity.

Findings:

  • Cultures revealed the presence of anaerobic pathogens.
  • No other specific causative factors were identified.
