Clinical narrative: FSGS recurrence; This is a literature report.  A 21 year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2) (Batch/Lot number: unknown) as dose 1, single and (Batch/Lot number: unknown) as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation. Relevant medical history included: "FSGS" (not ongoing), notes: 8 years status post deceased donor kidney transplant; "kidney transplant" (not ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS (medically significant), outcome "recovering", described as "FSGS recurrence". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: biopsy: revealed foot process effacement without definitiv, notes: revealed foot process effacement without definitive evidence of segmental sclerosis; blood albumin: 4.8 g/dl, notes: Routine labs 1 day prior to COVID 19 mRNA vaccine series were stable; 1.7 g/dl, notes: hypoalbuminemia. Thirty-one days after the second COVID 19 vaccine, routine labs were significant for nephrotic range; 3.5 g/dl, notes: concurrent with prednisone taper, the patient appeared clinically well with noted improvement in labs; blood creatinine: 0.8 mg/dl, notes: Routine labs 1 day prior to COVID 19 mRNA vaccine series were stable; 1.3 mg/dl, notes: Thirty-one days after the second COVID 19 vaccine, routine labs were significant for nephrotic range; 0.57 mg/dl, notes: concurrent with prednisone taper, the patient appeared clinically well with noted improvement in labs; physical examination: periorbital and lower extremity edema, notes: have periorbital and lower extremity edema; protein urine: increased; sars-cov-2 test: negative; urine output: decreased; urine protein/creatinine ratio: 0.42, notes: 0.42 mg/mg. 65 mg/dL of protein. Routine labs 1 day prior to COVID 19 mRNA vaccine series were stable; greater than 6.21, notes: >6.21 mg/mg (>2500 mg/dL of protein),; 0.55, notes: 0.55 mg/mg. concurrent with prednisone taper, the patient appeared clinically well with noted improvement in labs. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. He was currently undergoing wean of PP and steroids. Other than one prior FSGS recurrence early post-transplant, which responded to plasmapheresis (PP) and rituximab, he maintained normal allograft function with stable, low-level proteinuria on losartan 12.5 mg daily. The patient remained asymptomatic until 2 days prior to labs. He received methylprednisolone 1g IV for 3 days, thrice-weekly PP, rituximab 375 mg/m2 weekly x2, and an oral prednisone taper. During week 4 of PP concurrent with prednisone taper, the patient appeared clinically well with noted improvement in labs.; Sender's Comments: Based on the information in the case report and a plausible temporal relationship,  a possible causal relationship between the event FSGS recurrence and suspect drug BNT162B2 cannot be excluded.
