PG - 922-927 LID - 10.55563/clinexprheumatol/if8nka [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Data on the safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with rare rheumatic diseases, such as systemic vasculitis (SV), are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of a disease flare and the appearance of adverse events (AEs) following administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a multicentre cohort of patients with SV. METHODS: Patients with SV and healthy controls (HC) from two different Italian rheumatology centres were asked to complete a questionnaire assessing disease flares occurrence, defined as new onset of clinical manifestations related to vasculitis needing an implementation of therapy, and local/systemic AEs appearance following anti SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. RESULTS: 107 patients with SV (57 ANCA-associated) and 107 HC were enrolled. A disease flare occurred in only one patient (0.93%) with microscopic polyangiitis after the first dose of an mRNA vaccine. After both the first and the second vaccine dose administration, no significant differences in AEs between patients with SV and HC were observed; no serious AEs were reported as well. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest a good risk profile for anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with systemic vasculitis.
