Abstract

This is a case report of 30 years old female patient who presented with almost monthly episodes of urinary symptoms misdiagnosed and treated as recurrent urinary tract infections with poor response. On physical examination of this lady, features suggestive of lichen planus involving both the oral and genital area were found and immediately she was placed on systemic and local immunosuppressive therapy with excellent response for almost a year, but unfortunately she was lost for follow up.

Key words: Lichen planus, vaginitis, erosive vulvovaginal, gingival syndrome, immunosuppressive drugs.
