A case of recurrent vaccine-triggered Gianotti–Crosti syndrome

Abstract

Gianotti–Crosti syndrome (GCS) is a self-limited benign dermatosis, clinically characterized by a monomorphic papular or papulovesicular eruption symmetrically distributed on the limbs and face of children. Various viral and vaccine triggers have been associated with GCS. Recurrences are uncommon but have been reported. We report a case of recurrent vaccine-triggered GCS.
