Case report: Clinical features of COVID-19 vaccine-induced exacerbation of psoriasis-A case series and mini review.

ABSTRACT: Recently, COVID-19 vaccination-induced exacerbation or new-onset of psoriasis have been reported. Underlying immune pathogenesis is unclear and different mechanisms are assumed. Further, clinical- and vaccine-related features and characteristics are partly inconsistent and remain to be elucidated. To add to the understanding of COVID-19 vaccination-triggered psoriasis, we report five cases with exacerbation or new-onset of psoriasis. In our cohort, one patient experienced the new onset of psoriasis, while four had an exacerbation following COVID-19 vaccination. In most patients, exacerbation or new onset occurred after the 2nd or 3rd vaccination. The mean latency from the day of vaccination was 7.2 (1.8) days (SD). The clinical impact with a mean PASI increase following COVID-19 vaccinatio
