Case presentation A 13-year-old girl presented with acute ulcers with pain and inflammation in the labia majora that prevented ambulation and was also associated with fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A presentation of systemic toxicity, a productive cough, and bloody sputum suggests a large differential diagnosis. [tripdatabase.com]

Genetic diseases can present with chronic ulceration of vulval and perianal skin. Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of disorders that present with blistering in childhood. [dermnetnz.org]

• Pain

  pain: pain related to a specific disorder. [mdedge.com]

  Lymph Nodes In 50% of cases with chancroid, the inguinal lymph nodes, situated between the thighs and the abdomen on either side, may become infected, producing swollen and painful lumps. [gynaeonline.com]

  Even though in some cases vulvar lesions may go undetected because they are asymptomatic, it is a general rule that a woman must have at least one symptom such as pruritus (itchy sensation), dysuria (painful urination) or dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse [ic.steadyhealth.com]

  Glands on one side become enlarged, hard, painful and fuse together to form a bubo (BEW-bo), an inflammation and swelling of one or more lymph nodes with overlying red skin. Surgical drainage of the bubo may be necessary to relieve pain. [dph.illinois.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  Bacterial Infections Gonorrhea may be asymptomatic, but there may be vulvar pruritus, burning sensation, pain and patients basically report the presence of green-yellow discharge. [ic.steadyhealth.com]

  The outbreak was terminated by intensive surveillance efforts, contact tracing, and antimicrobial treatment of both symptomatic and asymptomatic sex partners. [cdc.gov]

  […] reduced risk of contracting chancroid. 11 Several studies in Africa show that chancroid ulcer was an important risk factor for the heterosexual spread of HIV. 12, 13 In West Africa, it has been shown that 2% of female sex workers carry the organism asymptomatically [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

  Antiviral medications can shorten the duration of outbreaks and, if taken daily, can reduce recurrences and decrease asymptomatic shedding. Usually multiple, grouped vesicles that evolve into ulcers; typically painful. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

  However, it's important to remember that some people, usually women, are asymptomatic. [dph.illinois.gov]

• Constitutional Symptom

  With the first clinical episode, constitutional symptoms are more likely to be present (fever, headache, myalgias, and malaise). [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

  symptoms may occur in herpes simplex, secondary syphilis, LGV, or systemic lupus erythematosus. [dermnetnz.org]

• Inguinal Mass

  Inguinal lymphadenopathy is extensive and may split the inguinal mass into halves separated by Poupart's ligament, producing an almost pathognomonic groove sign for LGV. [atsu.edu]

• Perianal Ulcer

  All 14 women had ulcers; two (14%) had asymptomatic cervical ulcers that were found only on examination; six (43%) had only perianal ulcers; and the remaining six (43%) had symptomatic vulvar ulcers. Six of the women had tender inguinal adenopathy. [cdc.gov]

• Ulcer

  All patients should return for review if their ulcers have not healed. [sti.guidelines.org.au]

  Abstract Acute genital ulcers, also known as acute vulvar ulcers, ulcus vulvae acutum or Lipschütz ulcers, refer to an ulceration of the vulva or lower vagina of non-venereal origin that usually presents in young women, predominantly virgins. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Other names for vulval aphthosis include vulval aphthous ulcers, Lipschütz ulcer, Mikulicz ulcer, Sutton ulcer, and ulcus vulvae acutum. Vulval aphthosis is commonly associated with oral ulceration. [dermnetnz.org]

  During 2000-2014, the percentage of genital ulcers caused by H. ducreyi was low ( 5 and North India with 24% of genital ulcer disease. 6 A recent report from Cuba described no infection with H. ducreyi in genital ulcer disease patients. 7 In the United [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

  The time required for complete healing depends on the size of the ulcer; large ulcers might require greater than two weeks. In addition, healing is slower for some uncircumcised men who have ulcers under the foreskin. [dph.illinois.gov]

  Sometimes, multiple chancres may be present. The chancre contains infectious bacteria and while the sore is present, the condition is highly contagious. Any contact with the chancre can spread the infection. [medicinenet.com]

  Untreated, the primary chancre usually goes away within 4 weeks. There is often painless swelling of lymph glands during this stage. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]

• Skin Ulcer

  Central ulceration and necrosis follow, leading to the characteristic chancre. In addition to genital ulcers, H. ducreyi causes chronic skin ulcerations, particularly in children from developing countries. [unboundmedicine.com]

  Genital Ulcer Diseases Genital ulcers are skin ulcers on the genital area caused by sexually transmitted diseases or noninfectious conditions. [courses.lumenlearning.com]

  The secondary stage involves the formation of subcutaneous granulomas in the inguinal area.( 3) Sometimes these lesions penetrate the skin, producing skin ulcers and become superinfected which may then lead to lymphadenopathy. [encognitive.com]

  H ducreyi produces skin lesions in children that resemble ulcers associated with the tropical disease yaws. [1, 2] However, in adults, chancroid is characterized by the presence of painful ulcers (see image below) and inflammatory inguinal adenopathy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Irritability

  Spermicide in particular may be irritating enough to create microscopic cuts in sensitive genital skin, which can lead to irritation and increase your risk of STIs (the cuts provide easy entry points into your bloodstream). [refinery29.com]

  Diagnosis Scabies may be confused with other skin irritations such as poison ivy or eczema. To make an accurate diagnosis, a doctor takes a scraping of the irritated area and examines it under a microscope, to reveal the presence of the mite. [wellness.illinoisstate.edu]

  Vaginitis Vaginitis is usually characterized by a vaginal discharge or by vulvar itching and irritation; a vaginal odor may be present. [garyagenamd.com]

  Comparison with syphilis [ edit ] There are many differences and similarities between the conditions syphilitic chancre and chancroid. [en.wikipedia.org]
