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.
