Messenger RNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection, or COVID-19 dramatically changed the landscape of the fight against COVID-19 pandemic. However, they might be associated with various side effects, such as myocarditis. Herein we report a case of alopecia universalis occurring after injection of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in a Japanese patient. Healthcare workers should be aware of this rather rare complication after vaccinations.
针对严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染或2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的信使核糖核酸（mRNA）疫苗极大地改变了抗击COVID-19大流行的局面。然而，它们可能与各种副作用有关，如心肌炎。在此，我们报告一例日本患者在接种mRNA COVID-19疫苗后发生全秃的病例。医护人员应意识到接种疫苗后这种相当罕见的并发症。
