Autoimmune hepatitis after vaccination against COVID-19.

In this case report, we present a 61-year-old patient admitted to the hospital because of tiredness and jaundice less than three weeks after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 with the first dose of the Comirnaty vaccine (Pfizer/ BioNTech). Based on the patient s medical history, laboratory data, imaging methods and liver biopsy, we diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis. The patient developed acute liver failure, and his liver function did not improve after corticosteroid administration. Therefore, the patient was enrolled in the waiting list and underwent a successful orthotopic liver transplantation.Copyright © 2023 Galen s.r.o.. All rights reserved.
