Company Comment - This case concerns a 69 year old female patient with medical history of Wegener's granulomatosis,  who experienced the serious unexpected events of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive vasculitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, dyspnoea, hypoaesthesia, paraesthesia, pain in extremity, hypoacusis, chest pain, neck pain, cough, rhinorrhoea, asthenia, fatigue, pyrexia, chills, arthralgia and nausea. The events occurred 1 day after the second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine, and were resolving at the time of the report. The patient was hospitalized 10 days from  the onset of the events. Chest x-ray revealed bilateral consolidated mass-like lesions, diagnostic aspiration revealed  acute necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. The patient was treated with Prednisone and Rituximab. Patient's medical history of Wegener's granulomatosis remains a confounder.  The rechallenge was not applicable. The benefit-risk relationship of the mRNA-1273 vaccine is not affected by this report.   This case was linked to MOD-2022-447136.
