ABSTRACT
Los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal son susceptibles de recibir tratamiento inmunomodulador y, por tanto, han de estar correctamente vacunados. Pese a la probada seguridad de las vacunas, estas no están exentas de reacciones adversas. A continuación, se presenta un caso clínico de una mujer joven con colitis ulcerosa en tratamiento con mesalazina que presentó vasculitis leucocitoclástica tras vacunación frente a neumococo, varicela y hepatitis A. Dicha reacción apenas está descrita en la literatura tras la administración de cualquiera de estas vacunas y nunca ha sido descrita en un paciente con patología de base
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are likely to receive immunomodulation treatment and therefore, should be properly vaccinated. Despite their proven safety, vaccines are not exempt from adverse reactions. The clinical case was a young female with ulcerative colitis under mesalazine treatment, who developed leukocytoclastic vasculitis following vaccination for pneumococci, varicella and hepatitis A. This adverse reaction after the previously mentioned vaccines is barely described in the literature and has never been reported in a patient with an underlying condition
