Extensive cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis after Sinopharm vaccine: Case report and review of the literature

Yousra Azzazi et al. J Cutan Pathol. 2022 Aug.

Abstract

Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) has been reported as a rare form of cutaneous reaction to different SARS-Cov-2 vaccines. Herein, we present the first case of cutaneous LCV following BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) vaccine that occurred in a female patient with no prior comorbidities. A literature review about similar cases following different COVID-19 vaccines is discussed.

Keywords: BBIBP-CorV vaccine; COVID vaccine; Sinopharm; vasculitis.
