We present a case of a nine-year-old boy who presented with a one-year history of an itchy rash on his legs associated with peripheral eosinophilia. The rash initially started as an annular plaque and developed raised borders with central hyperpigmentation.

Intranasal vaccination enhances protection against respiratory viruses by providing stimuli to the immune system at the primary site of infection, promoting a balanced and effective response. Influenza vectors with truncated NS1 are a promising vaccine approach that ensures a pronounced local CD8+ T-cellular immune response. Here, we describe the protective and immunomodulating properties of an influenza vector FluVec-N carrying the C-terminal fragment of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein within a truncated NS1 open reading frame.
