Abstract

Purpose: Vaccinations are essential in minimizing the effects of global health crises including COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and the occurrence of medium vessel vasculitis.

Methods: Several databases were utilized to conduct a comprehensive literature review. The studies were carefully evaluated to ensure their quality and eliminate any potential bias.

Results: After reviewing 935 search results and removing duplicates, we selected 10 case reports. We discovered that medium vessel vasculitis may occur after COVID-19 vaccination, typically appearing around 16.2 days after vaccination. The patients in the study had a median age of 43.5 years and were predominantly males (80%). Additionally, half of the cases were reported after the second dose of vaccination.

Conclusions: Vaccination-associated vasculitis is a rare yet possible complication of COVID-19 vaccination and lacks a clear treatment protocol.

接种 COVID-19 疫苗后的中血管炎：病例报告的系统回顾。

目的：接种疫苗对于最大限度地减少包括 COVID-19 大流行在内的全球健康危机的影响至关重要。本研究调查了 COVID-19 疫苗接种与中血管炎发生之间的潜在关联：方法：利用多个数据库进行了全面的文献综述。方法：利用多个数据库进行了全面的文献综述，并对研究进行了仔细评估，以确保其质量并消除任何潜在的偏倚：结果：在查阅了 935 条搜索结果并删除重复内容后，我们筛选出 10 篇病例报告。我们发现，接种 COVID-19 疫苗后可能会出现中血管炎，一般在接种后 16.2 天左右出现。研究中患者的中位年龄为 43.5 岁，以男性为主（80%）。此外，半数病例是在接种第二剂疫苗后出现的：结论：疫苗接种相关性血管炎是COVID-19疫苗接种的一种罕见但可能的并发症，目前尚无明确的治疗方案。

期刊介绍： Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases. Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease. Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases. Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases. Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies. Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections. In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
