It is undisputed that anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines can have side effects. Long post-COVID vaccination syndrome (LPCVS) is one of them and is often neglected. It persists 11 months after the third mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine dose has not been reported. Our patient is a 39-year-old male with a largely uneventful previous history who developed severe adverse reactions immediately after the third dose of the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine. In addition to brief fever, headache, flickering eyes, skin rashes, tiredness, disorientation, dizziness (brain fog), tiredness, impaired thinking and concentration, and emotional disorders occurred as a result. Cerebral MRI showed non-specific white matter lesions in a frontotemporal distribution. Some of the immune parameters were deflected. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, sartans, and statins have occasionally provided temporary relief. In conclusion, LPCVS is a definite complication of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations and can severely impact the quality of life and lead to disability. Despite extensive work-up, a clear cause for the long-term neuro-cognitive deficits cannot be identified. Symptomatic treatment can provide some relief. Patients with LPCVS should be taken seriously and treated appropriately.
毫无疑问,抗SARS-CoV-2疫苗会有副作用。新冠疫苗接种后长期综合征(LPCVS)就是其中之一,且常常被忽视。在第三剂mRNA-1273(莫德纳)疫苗接种11个月后仍持续存在的情况尚未见报道。我们的患者是一名39岁男性,既往病史基本平稳,在接种第三剂mRNA-1273(莫德纳)疫苗后立即出现了严重不良反应。除了短暂发热、头痛、视物闪烁、皮疹、疲倦、定向障碍、头晕(脑雾)外,还出现了疲倦、思维和注意力受损以及情绪障碍。脑部MRI显示额颞叶分布的非特异性白质病变。一些免疫参数发生了偏移。非甾体抗炎药、抗组胺药、沙坦类药物和他汀类药物偶尔能提供暂时缓解。总之,LPCVS是抗SARS-CoV-2疫苗接种的一种明确并发症,会严重影响生活质量并导致残疾。尽管进行了广泛检查,但仍无法确定长期神经认知缺陷的确切原因。对症治疗可提供一定缓解。LPCVS患者应得到重视并进行适当治疗。
