Abstract
The battle against SARS-COV-2 is rising and the hope in the safety and effectiveness of immunization against this virus is growing up, even though serious and severe adverse events are scarcely observed. In this article, we report a case of mRNA vaccine induced an autoimmune dermatomyositis with features of severity that are managed by immunosuppressants medications and still in regular follow-up. Inflammatory dermatomyositis can be triggered after vaccination with COVID vaccine in the same mechanism that COVID-19 infection-induced myositis.
