We discuss a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with generalized itchy papulonodular rash a few weeks after receiving a vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. The patient had a negative medical history for atopic dermatitis and other pruritic skin conditions, and clinical presentation was consistent with prurigo nodularis, which was confirmed later by tissue biopsy and microscopic analysis. The pathophysiology of this skin condition is thought to be due to an overlap between the immune and nervous systems. Due to the hypothesized involvement of the immune system in this disease, it. is presumed that the patient had a dysregulated immune response caused by his recent SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
