Case Report: Myocarditis Associated With COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination Following Myocarditis Associated With Campylobacter Jejuni.

ABSTRACT: We herein present our experience with a case involving a 17-year-old Japanese boy suffering from acute myocarditis after his second coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine shot. The patients had a history of myocarditis associated with Campylobacter jejuni 3 years prior. This has been the first-ever documented case of myocarditis associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in a patient with a history of myocarditis. We present a series of images and blood biomarkers for different types of myocarditis that developed in this single patient.
