Abstract:

Stevens-Johnson syndrome is an acute hypersensitivity reaction which leads to generalized necrosis of the skin and mucous membranes that is often drug induced. Other possible causative factors are bacterial and viral infections. Vaccination induced Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a rare occurrence. In this paper, we reported a case of Stevens Johnson Syndrome in a 62-year-old- male, 1 week after receiving 3rd dose of COVID-19 vaccine. His initial 2 doses were an inactivated form of the COVID-19 virus given 6 months ago. His 3rd dose was an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. This case demonstrates a rare dermatological complication using heterologous vaccines.
