2 Portal tract showing mild ductular proliferation accompanied by this prominent mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate

2 Portal tract showing mild ductular proliferation accompanied by this prominent mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate. Group that presented less than 90 days after COVID-19 vaccination were collected. Their medical records were analysed and the following data were collected: age, sex, type of vaccine, latency (time in days from vaccination to detection of transaminase alterations), transaminase and bilirubin levels at diagnosis, liver biopsy, screening for liver disease (autoantibodies, immunoglobulins and viral serology) and HLA, as well as the treatment received and the response to it. A literature review of the subject was also carried out using the search terms Autoimmune hepatitis and Covid vaccine in PubMed, finding 20 articles that reported cases of post-vaccine autoimmune hepatitis. Table 1 shows the main characteristics of the cases described so far in the literature, in order to compare them with those of our patients.

One of the cases has already been presented in the journal Gastroenterology and Hepatology by Torrente et al. [3] and continues to be included alongside the various other new situations. Altogether, 4 from the sufferers had been females and 1 was a guy, using a median age group of 62 years. 3 sufferers received the vaccine from Pfizer and 2 from Astrazeneca. The median period in the last dosage of vaccine to recognition of liver organ function check (LFT) abnormalities was 19 times. No patient demonstrated evidence of liver organ failing at baseline or until treatment, although there is one case of serious severe hepatitis with a complete bilirubin degree of 14?mg/dl during follow-up that required hospitalisation. A liver organ disease screening research demonstrated autoimmunity (positive ANA) and raised IgG in every sufferers, with no various other alterations appealing. A liver organ biopsy was performed in 4 situations, and most of them had been appropriate for AIH. The histological adjustments are defined in further details in Desk 2 as well as the Batts-Ludwig program was utilized to define the fibrosis stage as well as the severe or persistent phenotype from the hepatitis.
