Lipschutz Ulcers in adolescent after Sars-CoV-2 infection

This case report describes a 15-year-old adolescent female who presented to her primary care clinic with acute onset of painful genital ulcers. She denied being sexually active and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 5-days prior to ulcer development. Associated symptoms on days 1 through 3 included fatigue, nausea, headaches, and fever. Lipschutz ulcers, also known as aphthous ulcers, acute genital ulcers, and acquired genital ulcerations; are an uncommon, self-limiting, non-sexually transmitted condition characterized by the rapid onset of painful, necrotic ulcerations of the vulva or lower vagina.
