Abstract
Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction. Its occurrence due to vaccines is scant.1 We report a case of SJS caused by COVID-19 vaccine in an adult. A 60-year-old male presented with complaints of fever, oral ulceration and skin rash three days after the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, for which he visited a local physician and was prescribed paracetamol and levocetrizine, inspite of which the symptoms were not controlled and gradually the rashes became generalised in distribution.
