eczema vaccinatum
Eczema vaccinatum is a severe and potentially life-threatening skin condition that can occur when a person with active eczema or a history of the disease receives the smallpox vaccination. The virus from the vaccine can spread throughout the skin and body, causing large painful blisters, fever, and sometimes systemic complications. This rare but serious side effect is one of the reasons why routine smallpox vaccinations are no longer recommended except for certain high-risk populations.

Eczema vaccinatum
Eczema vaccinatum is a rare severe adverse reaction to smallpox vaccination. It is characterized by serious local or disseminated, umbilicated, vesicular, crusting skin rashes in the face, neck, chest, abdomen, upper limbs and hands, caused by widespread infection of the skin in people with previous diagnosed skin conditions such as eczema or atopic dermatitis, even if the conditions are not active at the time. Other signs and symptoms include fever and facial and supraglottic edema. The condition may be fatal if severe and left untreated. Survivors are likely to have some scarring. Smallpox vaccine should not be given to patients with a history of eczema. Because of the danger of transmission of vaccinia, it also should not be given to people in close contact with anyone who has active eczema and who has not been vaccinated. People with other skin diseases also have an increased risk of contracting eczema vaccinatum and should not be vaccinated against smallpox. Eczema is also associated with increased complications related to other vesiculating viruses such as chickenpox; this is called eczema herpeticum.
