Mucha-Habermann disease in a child: possible association with measles vaccination.
A 2.5-year-old boy presented with skin lesions consistent with Mucha-Habermann disease, which appeared about 5 days after an injection of freeze-dried live attenuated measles vaccine. He responded to both oral and topical corticosteroid therapy. To my knowledge, this represents the first such association of Mucha-Habermann disease with virus vaccination.
