Pseudo-Pemphigoid Gestationis Eruption Following SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination with mRNA Vaccine

Abstract

Auto-immune reactions, including auto-immune bullous disease, have been reported following SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccination. Few cases of bullous pemphigoid are described, but there has been no case of pemphigoid gestationis. We report the first case here.

New-Onset Pemphigoid Gestationis Following COVID-19 Vaccination

“…Recently, another case of what was termed pseudo-PG has been described 3 days following administration of the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. 7 Since the introduction of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, cases of postvaccination BP, BP-like eruptions, and pemphigus vulgaris have been described. [8][9][10][11] Tomayko et al 10 reported 12 cases of subepidermal eruptions, including BP, in which 7 patients developed blisters after the second dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccine.…”
