New‐onset systemic lupus erythematosus after BBIBP‐CorV vaccination

Abstract

Key Clinical Message While reports of new‐onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after mRNA‐based COVID‐19 vaccines exist, no such reports have been documented following inactivated vaccines. We describe a case of SLE after receiving the BBIBP‐CorV vaccine. The patient exhibited characteristic SLE criteria, indicating a possible association between the inactivated vaccine and new‐onset SLE.
