Abstract |
A case of primary tuberculous chancre of the vulva is reported. Although a tuberculous infection in an immunocompromised patient is not uncommon, this is the first report of a primary tuberculous infection on the external genitalia in such a patient. The source of infection in this patient could not be determined.
