Ever since the administration of early doses of COVID-19 vaccines, instances of adverse effects have been reported. Viral infections, specifically herpes simplex reinfection and coinfections, have been reported following administration of different types of vaccines. To our knowledge, there have not been any reports of herpes simplex encephalitis following administration of any type of COVID-19 vaccine to date.
In this article intends to report a case of herpes simplex encephalitis in a 27-year-old male patient who was vaccinated with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine.
Our study suggests a possible but very rare side effect of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, which requires immediate medical attention and can lead to devastating consequences if left undiagnosed and untreated.
自 COVID-19 疫苗早期接种以来,已报告了不良反应的病例。据报道,在接种不同类型的疫苗后,会发生病毒感染,特别是单纯疱疹再感染和合并感染。据我们所知,迄今为止,尚未有任何关于接种任何类型的 COVID-19 疫苗后发生单纯疱疹性脑炎的报告。
本文旨在报告一例 27 岁男性患者接种 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 疫苗后发生单纯疱疹性脑炎的病例。
我们的研究提示 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 疫苗可能存在但非常罕见的副作用,需要立即就医,如果不及时诊断和治疗,可能会产生灾难性的后果。
