Abstract

Abstract: Myositis is one of the uncommon adverse events following COVID‐19 vaccination, and its mechanism is still unclear. A strong clinical suspicion and further evaluation are important not only for early diagnosis and management but also for better understanding of the unprecedented effects of this novel vaccine. We present a case of myositis following the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 Corona Virus Vaccine, evidenced by serology and MRI. Abstract : COVID‐19 vaccine‐associated myositis. Coronal short tau inversion recovery magnetic resonance (STIR MR) images of left arm (A and B) showing edema in the deltoid muscle with adjacent perifascial fluid.
