Case Report

Leyla Baykal, Deniz Aksu Ar

Abstract

Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) is an uncommon acquired skin disease of unknown etiology. The disease is speculated to be an inflammatory disease triggered by infectious agents, an inflammatory response to T-cell dyscrasia, or an immune complex mediated hypersensitivity. We report the first case of PL et variolifomis acuta (PLEVA) occurring after tetanus vaccination.
