As with many other infectious diseases in history, the vaccination programme has been successful in helping offer a much welcomed control measure over the pandemic and can reduce the severity of illness in those subsequently infected. Minor side effects are common whereas serious adverse effects are fortunately rare. We describe a case of eosinophilic pneumonia following COVID-19 vaccination. The patient presented with symptoms which were almost identical to that of acute COVID-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":520760,"journal":{"name":"QJM : monthly journal of the Association of Physicians","volume":" ","pages":"251-252"},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9383422/pdf/hcac041.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39801279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are multiple reported cases of acute myocardial infarction occurring within minutes to hours after’. The myocardial infarction following COVID-19 vaccination is an important clinical concern at pre-sent. There are many proposed underlying mechanisms for myocardial infarction. Adding to the Kounis syndrome, the infarction might also be due to the increased blood viscosity after the COVID-19 vaccination. 2,3 A patient might also have an underlying disease that might be triggered for further develop-ment of cardiovascular problems when there is an excessive change of blood viscosity after COBVID-19 vaccination. 4 Finally, the myocardial infarction in a COVID-19 vaccine recipient might also be due to other concurrent medical problems. The case of myocardial problem during waiting for COVID-19 vaccination is the best example. 5 We would like to emphasize that while the COVID-19 vaccine might induce a cardiac problem, the vaccine is not the only possible cause of cardiac infarction observed after vaccination.
