BackgroundThe emergence of new SARS‐CoV‐2 variants and the global COVID‐19 pandemic spurred urgent vaccine development. While common vaccine side effects are well‐documented, rare adverse events necessitate post‐marketing surveillance. Recent research linked messenger RNA vaccines to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), a group of syndromes characterized by microvascular hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. This report describes a new‐onset atypical hemolytic‐uremic syndrome (aHUS) occurring after COVID‐19 vaccination and complements recent literature.Case PresentationA previously healthy 25‐year‐old woman developed malaise, nausea, edema, and renal dysfunction 60 days postvaccination. Laboratory findings confirmed TMA diagnosis. Genetic testing for complement system mutations was negative. Kidney biopsy supported the diagnosis, and the patient required hemodialysis.ConclusionThis case illustrates the rare occurrence of aHUS following COVID‐19 vaccination, with unique characteristics compared to previous reports. Despite the critical role of vaccination in pandemic control, emerging adverse events, such as vaccine‐related TMA, must be recognized and investigated. Additional clinical trials are imperative to comprehend the clinical features and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying TMA associated with COVID‐19 vaccination.
