An almost 4-year-old girl developed swelling, redness and pruritus of the vaccinated arm 2 days after immunisation with DPTP. The girl had no fever. The reaction spread around the upper arm and the elbow. We made the diagnosis of 'extensive limb swelling'. The symptoms disappeared spontaneously within 1 week.
