Naber MD, PhD, Technical University of Munich, Karl-Bickleder-Straße 44C, 94315, Straubing, Germany, E-mail: kurt.naber@nabers.de N2 - The spectrum of the causes of burning pain and itching in the female urogenital tract is broad ranging from harmless vaginal discharge, urinary tract infection, chronic dermatosis to painful primary herpes genitalis, and from the only clinically diagnosable Behçet syndrome to the vulvitis/colpitis caused by A-streptococci, which can lead to a fatal sepsis. Increasing skin damage occurs frequently, which, however, can be avoided by better care. With appropriate experience, most diagnoses can be made based on the clinical picture. The majority of the female patients can be helped quickly if the diagnosis is correct.
