JF - Integrative Journal of Medical Sciences JA - Integr J Med Sci VL - 9 IS - SE - CASE REPORTS DO - 10.15342/ijms.2022.646 UR - https://mbmj.org/index.php/ijms/article/view/646 SP - AB - <p>Since the introduction of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, several side effects have been reported, including acute myocarditis, which is primarily associated with mRNA vaccines. However, the cardiac side effects of other forms of vaccination against COVID-19 are still unknown.<br />Here, we present a case of a possible connection between myocarditis and attenuated vaccine Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV. An 18-year-old female patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for the management of respiratory distress associated with hemodynamic instability one week after receiving an attenuated vaccine<br />Myocarditis has been reported as a complication of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. Our case report suggests a possible link between myocarditis and attenuated vaccines. Therefore, more research is warranted to determine this causal link.</p> ER -
