Acute myocarditis associated with COVID-19 vaccination: A case report
Open accessAbstract
Recently, new vaccine platforms-including mRNA vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been given emergency use authorization in Japan. Here, we present a rare case of myocarditis following a COVID-19 vaccine. In this case, myocarditis was confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, endomyocardial biopsy, and troponin levels. The degree of myocardial inflammation in the endomyocardial biopsy samples was mild and the patient's clinical course was not severe. Although the pathology of myocarditis in this case was mild, further investigation would be needed. < Learning objective: Vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 is advancing worldwide, but post-vaccination myocarditis is getting attention as a rare side effect. Although the myocarditis in this case was mild, the pathogenesis of the disease is unclear and needs to be thoroughly investigated in the vaccination.>

In the citing paper
“mRNA vaccines have been found to produce symptoms associated with myocarditis within 3 to 11 days after the second vaccine dose and to produce a mixed infiltrate (macrophages and lymphocytes) in EMB (Figure 2), which is the typical time course of inflammation based on histology from viral and autoimmune myocarditis in patients and animal models (eg, lymphocytic, giant cell myocarditis, and CVB3 my”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
