New Onset of Severe Plaque Psoriasis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

A case of new onset of severe plaque psoriasis following COVID-19 vaccination was reported. A 63-year-old woman presented with multiple plaques for 2 months after the second dose of COVID-19 vaccination. Dermatological examination revealed diffuse erythematous papules and plaques on trunk and limbs. Her lesions responded well to the treatment of secukinumab 150 mg per week. In this case, we presented the potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and the onset of psoriasis. It is essential to recognize the possible adverse events as vaccination against COVID-19 continues worldwide.
