Tuberculosis (TB) is a less common disease in adolescents than in any other age group. However, when it occurs it is extrapulmonary 10% of the time. We report a case of TB peritonitis in an adolescent patient who presented without a history of prior TB or TB exposure. Tuberculosis must be included in the differential diagnosis of any occult febrile illness, even in the absence of pulmonary disease.
An adolescent male developed painless but severe genital ulcerations. Evaluation confirmed primary herpes. The medical literature describes the classical presentation of primary genital herpes infection as multiple ulcerations and severe pain, but 5% of male patients present without pain. Consequently, the differential diagnosis of painless genital ulcerations should include Herpes progenitalis.
