Özet
After the discovery of the smallpox vaccine, vaccination has become an essential component of preventive healthcare policies. However, vaccines can have mild side effects. Typically, these side effects present themselves as local reactions. A two-year-old patient was admitted 24 hours after the diphtheria, acellular pertussis, tetanus-haemophilus influenzae type b-inactive polio vaccine showing symptoms of a rash and swelling at the injection site. Acute phase reactants were negative, and complete blood count was normal. Patient was conscious and his general condition was well with vital signs were stable. The negative infectious markers were attributed to a reactionary response to the vaccine. The patient was given no medication aside being kept hydrated, and the reaction subsided on the third day of hospitalization. Being able to differentiate vaccine-related local reactions from bacterial cellulitis will prevent unnecessary hospitalization and antibiotic usage.
