Nonsexual Acute Genital Ulcerations as a Rare Presentation of Disseminated Lyme Disease in a Pediatric Patient

Nonsexual acute genital ulcerations (NAGU), also known as Lipsch ütz ulcers, are vulvar ulcers occurring predominantly in adolescent females. While the pathogenesis is unknown, NAGU are commonly associated with systemic infections. Here we present a female child with NAGU along with disseminated Lyme disease. We believe this is the first reported pediatric case of this phenomenon.
