Angioedema with eosinophilia (AE) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by episodic (EAE) or nonepisodic AE (NEAE). SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccines function as immunogens and intrinsic adjuvants and have been shown to be safe in large-scale trials. However, the long-term adverse reactions, especially those related to eosinophilic complications, have not been fully clarified. We herein report a case of self-limited but severe NEAE that developed in a young woman one week after receiving the second BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. The symptoms that impaired her activities of daily living, such as edema, gradually resolved with supportive care over 10 weeks without corticosteroid treatment.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by stiffness and aching mainly in the shoulders, neck and hip girdles. The underlying pathogenesis of PMR involves myeloid lineage activation with a high expression of pattern recognition receptors. In addition, vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with mRNA-1273 functions as both an immunogen and intrinsic adjuvant. It leads to the activation of innate immunity, resulting in antibody production. We herein report the first case of PMR-like syndrome seven days after mRNA-1273 vaccination. Reassuringly, the symptoms, such as pain of the neck, shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle, as well as elevated inflammatory markers were resolved within a month without glucocorticoid or immunosuppressant administration.
