摘要
Bullous pemphigoid and psoriasis are two well-characterised chronic autoimmune diseases that may be triggered by drugs, infections or vaccines. The coexistence of the two is a rare event but is more extraordinary if incited by messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination. A 62-year-old Filipino male experiencing a flare-up of his long-standing psoriasis vulgaris presented with new onset tense blisters on the legs 2 days after his first booster dose of mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccination. The clinical, skin punch biopsy, direct immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were consistent with bullous pemphigoid. Complete resolution of the vesicles and bullae with no new lesions and flattening of psoriasis plaques were observed after 1 month of treatment of systemic corticosteroids and corticosteroid-sparing agents. An association may exist between bullous pemphigoid development and mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
