RESUMEN
Las reacciones adversas a vacunas en general son desconocidas, dado que su frecuencia no es reportada en forma sistemática. El compromiso cutáneo es habitual, pudiendo ser de tipo localizado o generalizado. Las vacunas que más corrientemente dan reacciones adversas de tipo dermatológico son la Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) y la vacuna de la hepatitis B. A pesar de que ninguna vacuna se relaciona con un efecto adverso distintivo, existen ciertas características que ayudan en el diagnóstico de este tipo de reacciones. A continuación se presenta una revisión de literatura al respecto, para alertar a los médicos dermatólogos en su reconocimiento y reporte.
ABSTRACT
Adverse reactions to vaccines are generally unknown because their frequency is not systematically reported. Skin compromise is frequent, and can be located or generalized. Hepatitis B and BCG vaccines are more frequently associated with adverse dermatological reactions. Thought no vaccine type or strain is specifically associated with a particular type of cutaneous adverse effect, there are certain characteristics that help us to diagnose this type of reaction. We present a review of the literature in order to better prepare dermatologists to recognize and report these events.
