Abstract

Influenza vaccination is recommended for all people over 65 years, for those with chronic respiratory disease and chronic renal failure. Severe side effects of influenza vaccination are rare. We report a case of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 68-year-old woman which developed 2 days after influenza vaccination. Disseminated palpable purpura were located on both her lower extremities. A skin biopsy showed characteristic features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Purpura were reduced after prednisolone and dapsone medication.
