- Abstract
The patient's endomyocardial biopsy findings were consistent with a diagnosis of hypersensitivity myocarditis, despite little necrosis, as may have been expected in such a fulminant presentation. Few histopathological reports of patients with myocarditis after mRNA-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination have been published. Myocarditis after receiving an mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 is a rare but recognized complication. Previous reports did not describe their patients' detailed vaccination regimen, but most cases occurred a few days after a second dose of an mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
