Summary Context
Case study of two adults suddenly presenting with fulminant (very severe and sudden) heart damage
Comments
Both cases presented features of fulminant myocarditis with a temporal association with the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccination, in absence of other apparent causes, and with unique features of systemic hyperinflammation associated with refractory shock.
Abstract or Results, Key Passages
“Fulminant myocarditis may occur following SARS-CoV2 mRNA vaccination requiring mechanical cardiac support.•It is important to recognize features of systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome following SARS-CoV2 mRNA vaccination.”
