| Abstract |
Widespread use of vaccinations worldwide in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in various side effects. Here, we presented a 27-year-old man with autoimmune-like hepatitis after the first dose of the BNT162b2 (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine and reviewed previous reports. He presented with sweating, febrile sensations, and general weakness. He did not have any medical histories. Although he was treated with biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate and ursodeoxycholic acid, the elevated liver enzyme levels persisted for 2 months. Liver biopsy demonstrated portal inflammation with rosette formation, interface hepatitis, and infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Especially, centrilobular edema and necrosis were found. The symptoms and liver enzymes improved with prednisolone treatment. If persistently elevated liver enzymes are found after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, the possibility of autoimmune-like hepatitis induced by the vaccine should be considered and a careful pathologic evaluation is required. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 226. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 April 2024.
All research outputs
#173,168
of 25,805,386 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Surgical Pathology
#1
of 1,007 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,009
of 390,817 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Surgical Pathology
#1
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,805,386 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 99th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,007 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 390,817 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
