Numerous cutaneous reactions following COVID-19 vaccination have already been described. Vasculitis, however, is a rare adverse event, occurring mainly after the first COVID-19 vaccination. Herein, we report a patient with IgA-positive cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis, unresponsive to a moderate dose of systemic corticosteroid that erupted after the second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. Since booster vaccinations are being administered, we intend to raise awareness among clinicians and to highlight this potential reaction and its therapeutic approach.
已有大量文献描述了 COVID-19 疫苗接种后的各种皮肤反应。然而,血管炎是一种罕见的不良反应,主要发生在首次 COVID-19 疫苗接种后。在此,我们报告了一例 IgA 阳性皮肤白细胞碎裂性血管炎患者,在接受第二剂辉瑞/生物科技疫苗后出现,且对中等剂量的全身皮质类固醇治疗反应不佳。由于正在进行加强针接种,我们旨在提高临床医生的认识,并强调这种潜在的反应及其治疗方法。
