Abstract

This is a case of symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema-like eruption following ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca-Oxford) vaccination. Investigations, including repeated skin swabs, ruled out an infectious cause. He was subsequently treated with oral prednisolone, which led to a resolution of his symptoms.
