ABSTRACT
Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema (RS3PE) is a rare inflammatory condition that occurs in older adults. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old man with no history of rheumatic disease who presented with acute onset of bilateral hand pain, pitting oedema and synovitis after the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA C0VID-19 vaccine. Laboratory workup revealed elevated inflammatory markers and negative autoantibodies. Significant improvement was noted with prednisolone. This is the first reported case of RS3PE in an elderly patient with no previous rheumatic disease following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
