A case report of leukocytoclastic vasculitis after vaccination in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease. Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2019 Mar 12;111: Authors: Fernández Prada M, Alonso Penanes P, Morales Del Burgo P, Pérez Martinez I, Villa Del Amo MC Abstract 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.
