Abstract
We would like to correspond and share ideas on the publication “SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, a new autoimmune hepatitis trigger?.” López Romero-Salazar reported a case of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) after receiving SARS-COV2 vaccine. López Romero-Salazar et al noted that ”vaccination can induce the development of autoimmune pathology in patients at risk.” The possibility of a link between AIH and the SARS-CoV2 vaccine is explored. We agree that the COVID-19 vaccination has the potential to create clinical problems. The aberrant immune response could lead to a variety of health issues, including hepatitis. The vaccine recipient in this case had hepatitis, but there is no information about his or her health or liver function prior to inoculation. Other probable causes of hepatitis should be considered.
