A Female Patient With a Urinary Tract Infection and Multiple Vaginal Ulcers
摘要
This report is to describe a rare case of urinary tract infection (UTI) with multiple vaginal ulcers. In the report, the 45-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a UTI, but white blood cells and neutrophil are higher than reference value. A vaginal ultrasound was performed with a positive finding of uterine myoma and multiple painless vaginal ulcers in the vaginal wall. Also, elevated antinuclear antibodies were found. After treated with antibiotic, self-healed vaginal ulcers were observed even without topical ointment use for vaginal ulcers. In conclusion, UTIs are a common disease in females. This is a rare case of a UTI with multiple vaginal ulcers. Observation of the genital condition is necessary if a woman has a UTI. Treating the source of the UTI is necessary, and the vaginal ulcerations also require appropriate treatment and follow up.
