In severe cases, a combination of systemic glucocorticoids and broad-spectrum antibiotics has been recommended. Epidemiology
The disorder typically appears among young girls and adolescents but cases in children as young as 17 months have been reported. History
The disease was first described in October 1912 by Galician-born Austrian dermatologist and microbiologist Benjamin Lipschütz, who published a series of four cases in girls aged 14 to 17. He initially ascribed the ulcer to infection with "Bacillus crassus" (Lactobacillus acidophilus). See also
