Reactivation of morphea following mRNA coronavirus disease-2019 vaccination

Morphea is an inflammatory immune-mediated disease associated with many factors such as genetic predisposition, environmental triggers such as bacterial and viral infections, as well as intrinsic factors such as hormonal and immunological dysregulation, although its pathogenesis is largely unknown. Here, we report the first case of morphea relapse after the mRNA coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Our case along with recent reports suggest that new associations might appear due to COVID-19 infection and vaccines.
