TERUYA-GIBU, Alberto A.; ORTIZ-GUERRA, Percy y ARZAPALO-POMA, Abad A.. Endocrine diseases associated with COVID-19 vaccination: case report. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.3, pp.364-368. Epub 28-Sep-2023. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2023.403.12572.
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is not free of adverse effects. We present two cases of endocrine involvement associated with COVID-19 vaccination. A 46-year-old woman who, after receiving the first COVID-19 vaccination dose, presented persistent fever and signs of thyrotoxicosis after being diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis associated with COVID-19 vaccination; the condition remitted with the use of corticoids. A 71-year-old male, who after COVID-19 vaccination, presented hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, testing positive for anti-insulin antibodies; he was diagnosed with autoimmune hypoglycemia associated with COVID-19 vaccination and received treatment with prednisone, controlling the episodes of hypoglycemia. In conclusion, endocrine diseases associated with COVID-19 vaccination are extremely rare and their timely detection allows adequate treatment.
