Leukocytoclastic vasculitis after vaccination in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are likely to receive immunomodulation treatment and therefore, should be properly vaccinated. Despite their proven safety, vaccines are not exempt from adverse reactions. The clinical case was a young female with ulcerative colitis under mesalazine treatment, who developed leukocytoclastic vasculitis following vaccination for pneumococci, varicella and hepatitis A. This adverse reaction after the previously mentioned vaccines is barely described in the literature and has never been reported in a patient with an underlying condition.

Dicha reacción apenas está descrita en la literatura tras la administración de cualquiera de estas vacunas y nunca ha sido descrita en un paciente con patología de base
