Since its first outbreak in 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has been ongoing, and the pandemic is not over yet. Vaccines developed against COVID-19 have been approved and widely used since 2020; however, vaccine safety concerns need to be addressed. Autoimmune symptoms have been reported as a side effect of many COVID-19 vaccines. In particular, several cases of COVID-19 vaccine-induced vasculitis have recently been reported. Herein, we report the case of a 77-year-old woman who developed small-vessel vasculitis with multiorgan involvement after receiving the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer and BioNTech, New York City, NY, USA).
自 2019 年首次爆发以来,由严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)仍在持续,大流行尚未结束。自 2020 年以来,针对 COVID-19 的疫苗已获得批准并广泛使用;然而,疫苗安全性问题仍需解决。自身免疫症状已被报道为许多 COVID-19 疫苗的副作用。特别是,最近有几例 COVID-19 疫苗引起的血管炎病例报告。在此,我们报告了一例 77 岁女性在接种 BNT162b2 COVID-19 疫苗(辉瑞和 BioNTech,纽约,美国)后发生多器官受累的小血管血管炎。
