영아에서 폐렴구균 예방접종 근접부위에 발생한 고정약진양 국소피부독성반응

Abstract

Pneumococcus is a very important pathogen for children and elderly people, and causes considerable morbidity and mortality in these groups. Pneumococcal vaccination is relatively safe, and is being increasingly used for the prevention of pneumococcal disease, such as meningitis, pneumonia, otitis media, and bacteremia. Mild adverse reactions of pneumococcal vaccination are relatively common, and include erythema, pain, fever, myalgia, and headaches. However, adverse skin reactions are very rare. Here, we present a case of pneumococcal vaccinationinduced localized toxic reaction mimicking fixed drug eruption on a nearby vaccination injection site in an infant, which has not previously been documented in Korea.
