ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Nonsexually acquired genital ulcers have been described among girls who are prepubertal after various viral illnesses due to mucosal inflammation from an immunologic response. Until recently, nonsexually acquired genital ulcers have only been associated with viral infections. CASE We present a case of an adolescent girl developing nonsexually acquired genital ulcers after both her first and second coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine doses. Her course followed an expected timeline for severity and resolution of ulcers.CONCLUSIONS:
Aphthous ulcers may arise from inflammatory effects of COVID-19 vaccination. Clinical monitoring after COVID-19 vaccination from all formulations should include assessment for nonsexually acquired genital ulcers if vaginal pain is reported.
