Abstract
OpenAlex · English
BACKGROUND: Vaccines, which make it possible to be protected from many life-threatening infectious diseases, have been used safely and effectively for years. Most vaccines used today contain a variety of adjuvants and exogenous proteins. Severe reactions, in addition to transient and self-limiting mild reactions, mostly caused by these components, have been reported. The effects of vaccine adjuvants on the pathogenesis of immunemediated diseases are still under investigation. The syndrome called Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) has been defined in the literature. CASE: We found a novel mutation of autoinflammatory diseases in the genetic analysis of our patient. The patient developed symptoms of prolonged fever, rash, arthritis and serositis after multicomponent serogroup B meningococcal (Bexsero®) vaccination, without a previously known rheumatic disease. In the presence of clinical findings in our patient, the diagnostic criteria of ASIA syndrome were met. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient diagnosed with the autoinflammatory disease with a novel mutation after Bexsero® vaccination. We consider that genetic examinations will be useful in patients with a systemic vaccine reaction in the presence of ASIA when diagnostic criteria are met.
