ABSTRACT
Lipschütz ulcer is a non-sexually transmitted genital lesion of unknown etiology, which presents as a painful vulvar ulcer. Lipschütz ulcers have been described in most continents. This is the first case reported in Peru and South America. We present the case of a 33-year-old female patient with a Lipschütz ulcer after being vaccinated with the second dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. She reported having had only one sexual partner in her lifetime. Laboratory results were negative for herpes simplex 2, Cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, Epstein-Barr virus, and syphilis. The patient received symptomatic treatment. Ten days after the onset, the patient was significantly better during follow-up. This case report displays a potential adverse effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as a Lipschütz ulcer triggered by the host humoral immune response. However, further research is needed to establish the causal relationship between these two.
RESUMEN
La úlcera de Lipschütz es una lesión genital no transmitidas por vía sexual de etiología desconocida, se presenta como una úlcera vulvar muy dolorosa. Las úlceras de Lipschütz se han descrito en la mayoría de los continentes. Este es el primer caso que se reporta en Perú y Sudamérica. En este reporte de caso se presentauna paciente de 33 años con una úlcera de Lipschütz luego de haber sido vacunada con la segunda dosis de la vacuna AstraZeneca COVID-19. Refirió haber tenido una sola pareja sexual a lo largo de su vida. Los resultados de laboratorio fueron negativos para herpes simplex 2, Citomegalovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, virus de Epstein-Barr y sífilis. La paciente recibió tratamiento sintomático. Diez días después, durante el seguimiento, la paciente estaba significativamente mejor. Este reporte de caso expone un potencial efecto adverso de la vacuna AstraZeneca COVID-19, en forma de úlcera de Lipschütz, desencadenado por la respuesta inmune humoral del huésped. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar más investigación para establecer la relación causal entre ambos.
