Abstract

Introduction: the covid virus triggered the last known pandemic; This virus infected people around the world without distinction of age, sex or race. The studies on this, which has a single-stranded RNA chain of positive polarity belonging to the coronavirus family, demonstrated the diagnostic challenges that health professionals faced.

Objective: to describe the incidence of lichen planus in patients vaccinated against COVID-19.

Method: a bibliographic review was carried out; The information search was carried out in articles published in the period between 2020-2024; The main information collection technique was the online search in the Pubmed, BVS, SciELO and Elsevier databases.

Results: studies and research take as an average a post-infection or post-vaccination period to consider the appearance or worsening as a consequence of COVID-19; It is said that the range of association goes from the moment post-vaccination or post-infection to day 21. In addition, there is a 16.4% to 30% relationship between post-infection lichen planus and a 64% to 84.6% relationship to vaccination with the above-mentioned vaccines.

Conclusions: this research shows that the incidence of lichen planus in patients vaccinated for COVID-19 is relatively low compared to the total number of people who received the vaccine.
