Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: To the Editor: A 37-year-old Burmese woman presented with tender nodules of 6-week duration on the distal aspect of her legs, which appeared a day after receiving the second dose of tozinameran vaccination. She previously had erythema nodosum (EN) 10 years ago, which was related to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). She had completed treatment for PTB at that time, and there was a complete resolution of the prior episode of EN till the time of presentation. A computed tomography scan of her thorax obtained several months prior showed no evidence of active PTB, and a thorough review of systems was unyielding.
