Psoriasis triggered by tetanus-diphtheria vaccination

Abstract

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease with multiple known triggers. We report the case of a patient whose psoriasis was triggered by tetanus and diphtheria immunization (Td vaccine). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of psoriasis triggered by the Td vaccine. Authors speculate about the involved mechanisms.
