This case report describes a 59-year-old man with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-positive longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) after being vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19. He presented with urinary retention, gait disturbance, hypoesthesia and brisk reflexes in his lower extremities without paresis. Due to the ineffectiveness of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, therapeutic plasma exchange was performed, gradually improving the patient's condition. Vaccination as a trigger for an excessive immunological response seems plausible, though unspecific for the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine.
本病例报告描述了一例 59 岁男性在接种 COVID-19 疫苗 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 后发生髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白 (MOG) 阳性的长节段横贯性脊髓炎 (LETM)。他表现为尿潴留、步态障碍、下肢感觉减退和反射亢进,但无瘫痪。由于大剂量静脉注射甲基强的松龙无效,因此进行了治疗性血浆置换,患者病情逐渐改善。疫苗接种作为一种引发过度免疫反应的触发因素似乎是合理的,但针对 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 疫苗并不具有特异性。
