Myocarditis is a rare complication of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. We report a case of an elderly female who presented initially with acute myocarditis, fulminant heart failure, and atrial fibrillation after receiving a modified ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine (BNT162b2). Unlike other patients with vaccine-induced myocarditis, she developed persistent fever, sore throat, polyarthralgia, diffuse macular rash, and lymphadenopathy. After extensive investigation, she was diagnosed with post-vaccination Adult-Onset Still's Disease. The systemic inflammation gradually subsided after the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and systemic steroids. She was discharged from hospital with stable hemodynamics. Methotrexate was subsequently given to maintain long-term remission. |
