Cases of acute myocarditis have been after administration of the BNT162b2 and Ad26.COV2.S vaccine.
Describe another possible mechanism of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.
We describe the clinical case of a 72-year-old female with pleuritic chest pain one week after the third of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Serological tests for cardiotropic pathogens were negative, and autoimmunity screening was positive with anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) in 1:160 dilution, Anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), and anti-histone antibodies. F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed a focal myocardial and pericardial inflammatory process in the cardiac apex.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosis was made with myocardial affection. As far as we know, this is the first report of a case of lupus myocarditis after the COVID-19 vaccine.
Given the pathogenic rationales, the association between SLE and myocarditis should be considered.
在接种 BNT162b2 和 Ad26.COV2.S 疫苗后,出现了急性心肌炎病例。
描述 COVID-19 疫苗接种后心肌炎的另一种可能机制。
我们描述了一例 72 岁女性的临床病例,她在接种 BNT162b2 mRNA 疫苗的第三剂后一周出现胸膜炎性胸痛。心肌病原体的血清学检测为阴性,自身免疫筛查呈阳性,抗核抗体(ANA)滴度为 1:160,抗双链 DNA(抗 dsDNA)和抗组蛋白抗体。氟代脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)显示心尖部局灶性心肌和心包炎症过程。
诊断为系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)合并心肌受累。据我们所知,这是首例 COVID-19 疫苗接种后狼疮性心肌炎的病例报告。
鉴于发病机制,应考虑 SLE 和心肌炎之间的关联。
