“…LS has also been observed to be triggered by viral infection [ 81 , 82 ]. One case of LS after scarlet fever was reported [ 83 ]. Jones et al reviewed the literature of LS after vaccination (five cases) and reported an additional patient whose eruption occurred after hepatitis B vaccination [ 84 ].…”

COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced Lichenoid Eruptions—Clinical and Histopathologic Spectrum in a Case Series of Fifteen Patients with Review of the Literature

Lichen planus is a distinctive mucocutaneous disease with well-established clinical and histopathologic criteria. Lichenoid eruptions closely resemble lichen planus and may sometimes be indistinguishable from it. Systemic agents previously associated have included medications, viral infections and vaccines. Sporadic case reports of lichen planus and lichenoid reactions associated with COVID-19 vaccines have recently emerged. Herein, we review the world literature (31 patients) and expand it with a case series of 15 patients who presented with vaccine-induced lichenoid eruption (V-ILE). The spectrum of clinical and histopathologic findings is discussed with emphasis on the subset whose lesions manifested in embryologic fusion lines termed lines of Blaschko. This rare Blaschkoid distribution appeared in seven of the 46 patients studied. Of interest, all seven were linked to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. We believe that all lichenoid eruptions should be approached with a heightened index of suspicion and patients should be specifically questioned with regards to their vaccination history. When diagnosed early in its course, V-ILE is easily treated and resolves quickly in almost all patients with or without hyperpigmentation. Additional investigative studies regarding its immunopathology and inflammatory signaling pathways may offer insight into other Th1-driven autoimmune phenomena related to COVID-19 vaccination.

“…Unlike LS, AB is recurrent, a feature that is reported rarely in LS. It is suggested that LS and AB are triggered by many extrinsic stimuli such as pregnancy [11], infection [12][13][14], vaccination [15][16][17], drugs [18][19][20][21], trauma [22], insect bite [23], autoimmune phenomena [7,10], and stem cell transplant [24]. These stimuli bring about somatic mutations in keratinocytes resulting in a T-cell immune hypersensitivity response directed against keratinocytes exhibiting mosaicism along BL.…”

Adult Blaschkitis With Lichenoid Features and Blood Eosinophilia

There have been many reports of congenital and acquired dermatoses that trail Blaschko lines. Lichen striatus is representative of an acquired cutaneous linear inflammatory dermatosis running along the lines of Blaschko, characterized histopathologically by the predominance of lichenoid infiltration. Adult blaschkitis, however, is considered under the same disease spectrum as lichen striatus and is characterized by a spongiotic reaction pattern. Few differences have been recognized between lichen striatus and adult blaschkitis such as age of onset, triggers, distribution, histopathology, and response to treatment.A case of male patient with adult blaschkitis presenting as unilateral asymptomatic erythematous edematous papules, papulovesicles, and plaques over Blaschko's lines, in which skin biopsy revealed coexistent pathological features of lichen striatus and adult blaschkitis along with blood eosinophilia, has been presented here. This may add to the cumulative evidence on the pathogenesis of adult blaschkitis as an allergic reaction to an unknown inciting allergen.Evidence to consider adult blaschkitis as part of the lichen striatus spectrum is growing. Triggers for such skin reactions remain diverse. This case presentation suggests that adult blaschkitis could be triggered by an allergic response evidenced by the blood eosinophilia when other causes of eosinophilia are excluded.
