Mod Rheumatol Case Rep. 2023 Jun 19;7(2):368-372. doi: 10.1093/mrcr/rxad002.

Abstract

Although the safety and efficacy of vaccinations have been evaluated through clinical trials, medical experts and authorities are very interested in the reporting and investigation of adverse events following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immunisation in the general public. This article reports about a 41-year-old man without a history of underlying diseases, complaining of continuous morning stiffness and acute discomfort in his left elbow joint, 20 days after taking the first dosage of Sputnik V. The case was extensively studied, and a possible diagnosis of reactive arthritis was made.

Keywords: COVID-19; reactive arthritis; rheumatology.
