Abstract

Since the introduction of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, much attention has been paid to adverse reactions. Numerous cutaneous reactions are described in the literature, but less so about chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). CSU is described as recurrent hives with no identifiable trigger, with or without angioedema, which persists for more than 6 weeks. It can be a frustrating diagnosis for physicians and patients alike because of the difficulty in identification and management. The mainstay of CSU treatment is antihistaminergic therapy. In this case, we describe a 35-year-old woman who was newly diagnosed with CSU after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine.
