“…It belongs to the Coronaviridae family; these viruses have crown-like spikes on their outer surface [ 2 ]. The viral disease was first recorded in China in late 2019, and since then, has quickly spread across the globe, affecting every country [ 3 ]. The World Health Organization (WHO) first officially announced COVID-19 as a pandemic disease in March 2020 [ 4 ].…”

“…Other immune agents, such as B cells, also interact with the coronavirus spikes on the surface of vaccinated cells and free-floating spike protein fragments ( 17 ). Previous reports have suggested that the molecular mimicry triggered by the protein generated through immunization can result in autoimmune meningitis, whereby the vaccine-generated S1 protein might cause a breach of the blood-brain barrier and result in aseptic meningitis ( 6 , 7 ).…”

“…Recently, relatively serious side-effects of Pfizer COVID-19 postvaccination, such as pericarditis and myocarditis, have been reported (4,5). In addition, to our knowledge, meningoencephalitis after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has been reported in four cases to date (6)(7)(8)(9). However, MRI findings were not described for these cases, and all patients were diagnosed with aseptic meningitis.…”

We herein report a 72-year-old woman with rheumatoid vasculitis who exhibited a depressed level of consciousness after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA BNT162b COVID-19 vaccine and was diagnosed with meningoencephalitis. Although there was no confirmatory examination, the diagnosis was based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and etiological assessments, including microbiological and autoimmune investigations. Both intravenous steroid pulse and gammaglobulin therapies alleviated the patient's symptoms, and the MRI findings improved. Although the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination has been widely accepted, such neurologic complications might occur in patients with rheumatoid diseases or vasculitis syndromes.

Objetivo: Identificar na literatura as principais reações adversas das vacinas contra o COVID-19. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa, conduzida nas estratégias de busca Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scopus (Elsevier) e Embase. Por meio da seguinte questão de pesquisa: “Quais reações adversas foram evidenciadas na literatura em pacientes vacinados por COVID-19?”. Utilizou-se o software RAYYAN® para importar os dados. Resultados: Identificou-se 1.816 estudos, destes, 57 contemplaram a revisão. Os resultados foram sintetizados em forma de tabela e verificou-se diversas reações classificadas em reações locais, sistêmicas e graves, constatou-se a maior incidência de reações adversas no sexo feminino e as manifestações foram imediatas a tardias. Conclusão: Foi evidenciado que a maioria das reações adversas pós-vacinação por COVID-19 foram locais, imediatas e autolimitadas. O enfermeiro deve promover ações para prevenir e identificar reações adversas pós vacinais.
