A New Onset of Ulcerative Colitis post-2nd-breakthrough-COVID-19

Image
A 21-year-old non-smoking Caucasian male with a history of acute pancreatitis but no other medical issues or family history had two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.  Four months after the second dose he had his first episode of COVID-19. Although not hypoxic, he felt pretty unwell for a week, with a severe cough, fever, generalized body ache, headache, and loss of taste. He received the third dose of the vaccine two months after recovering from COVID. Nine months after the third dose, he had the second episode of COVID-19, during which he was mildly unwell for three days, recovered, and did not require any anti-viral medication or antibiotics. One week post the second episode of COVID-19, he developed diarrhea and abdominal pain. It then progressed to bloody diarrhea. Ulcerative colitis was diagnosed based on his clinical symptoms, biopsy changes, and the exclusion of other causes.  There are ten published case reports about the newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis ...

Severe autoimmune ganglionopathy after COVID19 vaccination

Image
A previously hypertensive 56-year-old male presented with the subacute onset of severe constipation, urinary retention, erectile dysfunction, sudomotor failure, sicca symptoms, non-reactive pupils and severe orthostatic hypotension shortly after receiving the second dose of the Comirnaty mRNA vaccine against COVID19.  Autonomic testing revealed severe cardiovagal, adrenergic and sudomotor impairment, and tonic 'half-mast' pupils with evidence of sympathetic and parasympathetic denervation (see Figure). T ilt-table testing demonstrated a drop in blood pressure from 140/90 mmHg supine to 54/35 mmHg after two minutes at 60 degrees, with no heart rate response.  There was no heart rate response to Valsalva maneuver  and sympathetic skin responses in the hands and feet were absent. Sweat testing demonstrated complete anhidrosis. Pathological α3-ganglionic ACHR antibodies were positive in serum as detected by a new flow cytometric immunomodulation assay. Malignancy wa...

Toothache as a side effect of vaccination

Image
Previously we presented case reports with oral side effects of COVID-19 vaccine due to mucocutaneous reactions. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) could be another reason for oral manifestations, including severe tooth pain.  A 45-year-old female was admitted to a research hospital with 3 days of facial and jaw pain, fatigue and toothache following the first dose of Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. The features of the pain were unilateral, acute onset, and severe, on the lower right side of the face. It was triggering with brushing her teeth and putting on makeup. The case was considered as trigeminal neuralgia. Pregabalin failed to control the pain, while amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (despite normal X-rays) led to angioedema and worsening of her general condition. However, with steroid treatment, the patient eventually recovered.  A 36-year-old woman was admitted to the Emergency Ward due to chronic pain attacks in the left side of her face. The pain appeared tw...
