BUENOS AIRES (Sputnik) – A physician in Mexico who received the Pfizer vaccine against the COVID-19 coronavirus, was admitted to an intensive care unit with seizures, breathing difficulties and possible encephalomyelitis, the country’s Health Ministry said on Saturday.
The cause of the adverse reaction, which occurred while the doctor was still within the observation area after his inoculation, are currently under investigation.
According to the ministry, the preliminary diagnosis is encephalomyelitis.
The patient is said to have a history of allergic reactions to other medications, such as Trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole, which can cause serious symptoms, particularly skin rashes, angioedema and anaphylactic reaction, or even death.
The Mexican Health Ministry outlined in a statement that, according to current scientific data on the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine, “no person had previously developed encephalitis after the application of the vaccine.”
