ABSTRACT
Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a rare neurological disease of varying etiology characterized by severe shoulder pain, muscle weakness, and atrophy. Mechanisms are unclear, but are thought to be genetic and immune-mediated reactions. Rarely, Parsonage-Turner syndrome occurs as a side effect of vaccination. A 20-year-old male who worked as a soldier visited the military hospital because of shoulder pain after vaccination against typhoid and was diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner syndrome based on electromyography and joint magnetic resonance imaging. Pain was controlled with a nerve block. Intravenous immunoglobulin was administered for improvement of neurologic symptoms. This case suggests that Parsonage-Turner syndrome should be considered as a side effect of vaccination. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Parsonage-Turner syndrome following vaccination in Korea.
