Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) is an uncommon acquired skin disease of unknown etiology. The disease is speculated to be an inflammatory disease triggered by infectious agents, an inflammatory response to T-cell dyscrasia, or an immune complex mediated hypersensitivity. We report the first case of PL et variolifomis acuta (PLEVA) occurring after tetanus vaccination.
