The authors report the first case of generalized granuloma annulare associated with pneumococcal vaccination in a 57-year-old woman, who presented cutaneous lesions 12 days after vaccination.
Several skin lesions have been associated with COVID-19, some of them classically related to other microbiological agents. 1 Recently, positivity for SARS-CoV/SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein has been reported by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in skin biopsies from patients with erythema multiforme-like lesions or chilblains associated with COVID-19. 2,3 Granuloma annulare (GA) can be triggered by different viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), HIV, and hepatitis B and C. 4 Previously, we reported one patient with localized GA triggered after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. 5 Additionally, immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) techniques for SARS-CoV-2 detection
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.
