Zusammenfassung: | IntroductionAlthough the COVID-19 Vaccine usually causes a few non-serious side effects, serious ones such as Erythema multiforme recently has been linked to it. Case presentationOur patient presented with severe skin reaction one day post-Covid-19 Moderna vaccine diagnosed as erythema multiforme proven by skin biopsy that responded well to steroids. DiscussionErythema multiform major, an immune-mediated cutaneous reaction to infections or drugs involving the oral cavity, should be considered a possible adverse effect of numerous vaccinations, including SARSCoV2. Correct patient history gathering enables early detection and successful medical therapy with oral corticosteroids.Furthermore, the disease's rarity makes establishing a causative link difficult. However, because we are still learning about the innovative antiSARSCoV2 vaccines, it is crucial to be cautious of the potential cutaneous adverse responses. ConclusionDespite being rare, life-threatening adverse reactions can occur post-COVID-19 Vaccination. |
