CECCATO, Federico; WEIDMANN, Josefina T; DIFILIPPO, Paula  and  ALBRECHT, Agustina. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis after COVID-19 vaccine. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.4, pp.228-231. ISSN 0327-4411.  http://dx.doi.org/10.47196/rar.v33i4.681.

Several reports have described different types of vasculitis in temporal association with a variety of vaccines, and more recently with vaccines for COVID-19 disease. However, the scarcity of controlled studies and the methodological heterogeneity of the reports do not allow a clear conclusion about its causal relationship. We report the case of a male who developed leukocytoclastic vasculitis, confirmed by skin biopsy and without systemic involvement, after the second dose of AstraZeneca's anti-COVID-19 vaccine.

Keywords : vaccines; vasculitis; COVID-19 vaccine; adverse event following immunization.
