“Introduction: Global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19), which was spread from China in 2019, urged development of COVID-19 vaccines. Until now, a number of cutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination has been reported worldwide, including injection site reaction or so called COVID arm, urticarial reaction, morbilliform rash, vesicopapular lesions, pityriasis rosea-like lesion, purpura, vasculitis, thrombus, ulcer, and reactivation of herpesviruses.
Previous study revealed that the most frequent skin reactions were COVID arm in women (38.1%) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation in men (20%). The underlying pathomechanism for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination-associated skin reactions (hereafter referred to as CVSRs) largely remains unknown… Here, we present a case of persistent VZV infection after COVID-19 vaccination.”
