Recurrence of non-sexually acquired acute genital ulceration following COVID-19 vaccination

We report a case of non-sexually acquired acute genital ulceration that initially presented in 2008 as Lipschutz labial ulcers associated with acute Epstein-Barr virus infection, with recurrence twelve years later following administration of the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. This case report and exhaustive literature review challenges widely accepted views regarding the typical age range of patients affected by non-sexually acquired acute genital ulceration, the sexual history of affected populations, the pathophysiology of lesion occurrence, and possibility of lesion recurrence.PMID:38478671 | DOI:10.5070/D329663000
