Genital ulcers associated with acute Epstein-Barr virus infection

S Taylor et al. Sex Transm Infect. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

To date there have been only five reported cases of females with genital ulceration associated with primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. We describe two further patients and review the clinical features of all seven cases, noting the typical features, particularly purple ulcer margins and systemic symptoms, which should alert the physician to consider this diagnosis.
