Abstract

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination has been crucial in reducing deaths and hospitalizations. However, vaccination may trigger autoimmune responses. We present the first case of new-onset systemic lupus erythematosus in a 12-year-old girl, three weeks after receiving the first dose of Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine. Complications of COVID-19 vaccines are typically mild. There have been reports of a potential association between the vaccines and autoimmune disorders. However, severe events are rare. Vaccination for COVID-19 is recommended even for those with a genetic predisposition to autoimmune disease, as the advantages of preventing COVID-19 outweigh the potential risks of acquiring autoimmune diseases. © 2024, Iranian Society of Nephrology.
