- Abstract
Vaccines offer an effective strategy to prevent infectious diseases with minimal adverse effects. On rare occasions, vaccination can disrupt the immune response leading to induction of autoimmune diseases. We describe a case of new-onset lupus nephritis following COVID-19 vaccination with the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Her symptoms and lab values improved with steroids, hydroxychloroquine, and mycophenolate mofetil.
