New‐Onset Vitiligo and Change in Disease Status Following <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 Vaccination and <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 Infection—An Online Survey

This study aimed to identify the proportion of patients with vitiligo reporting new-onset disease or changes in disease status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection using an online survey. Among 114 respondents, over half reported no new-onset vitiligo or a change in vitiligo status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection; however, a sizeable minority reported worsening of vitiligo, smaller numbers reported new-onset disease, and few reported improvement. Larger studies are needed to clarify whether these associations are coincidental or reflect underlying pathological processes.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the proportion of patients with vitiligo reporting new-onset disease or changes in disease status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection using an online survey. Among 114 respondents, over half reported no new-onset vitiligo or a change in vitiligo status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection; however, a sizeable minority reported worsening of vitiligo, smaller numbers reported new-onset disease, and few reported improvement. Larger studies are needed to clarify whether these associations are coincidental or reflect underlying pathological processes.
