Abstract

Background: Behcet's disease (BD) is an inflammatory disorder known for various symptoms, including oral and genital ulcers and ocular inflammation. Panuveitis, a severe eye condition, is rare as the first sign of BD.

Case summary: We present an unusual case of a 30-year-old man who developed panuveitis after receiving the mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (Moderna). Laboratory tests ruled out infections, but he had a positive HLA-B51 result and a history of genital ulcer and oral ulcers, leading to a BD diagnosis. Treatment with corticosteroids improved his condition. Interestingly, he had another episode of panuveitis after the second mRNA vaccine dose, which also responded to corticosteroids.

Conclusion: This case highlights the rare onset of BD following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, suggesting a potential link between these vaccines and BD's eye symptoms, emphasizing the importance of quick treatment in similar cases.

接种 COVID-19 疫苗后引发的与白塞氏病相关的泛葡萄膜炎:病例报告。
背景:白塞氏病(BD)是一种炎症性疾病,有多种症状,包括口腔和生殖器溃疡以及眼部炎症。病例摘要:我们报告了一例不寻常的病例,一名 30 岁的男子在接种了基于 mRNA 的冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)疫苗(Moderna)后出现了泛发性葡萄膜炎。实验室检查排除了感染的可能性,但他的 HLA-B51 结果呈阳性,且有生殖器溃疡和口腔溃疡病史,因此被诊断为 BD。皮质类固醇治疗改善了他的病情。有趣的是,他在接种第二剂 mRNA 疫苗后再次发生泛葡萄膜炎,皮质类固醇治疗也起效:本病例突显了接种mRNA COVID-19疫苗后出现BD的罕见情况,表明这些疫苗与BD的眼部症状之间存在潜在联系,并强调了在类似病例中快速治疗的重要性。
