The First Reported Adult Case of Lichen Planus following Rabies Vaccination
Özet
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis. Its etiology remains unknown, but it is regarded as being the result of reactions associated with cell-mediated immunity in the skin. A case of LP resulting from hepatitis B virus vaccination was described, and this was subsequently followed by the reporting of LP cases that were due to human immunodeficiency virus, influenza, and diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus vaccination. Only one pediatric case with LP resulting from the rabies vaccine has been reported. In the present study, the development of LP in an adult male following rabies vaccination was described.
