It has played a vital role in the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Different types of vaccines have been developed to combat the pandemic. Adverse events following immunization including anaphylaxis have been reported for all types of COVID-19 vaccine. Anaphylaxis is common in a person who has a history of allergic reactions. Adverse reactions develop within minutes or a few hours after vaccination. Thus, in India, vaccine recipients are made to stay in the medical facility for 30 min for observation.</p> <p>Herein, we report the case of a 23-year-old woman who succumbed after 24 hours of taking COVISHIELD ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 Corona Virus Vaccine (recombinant). She did not have any symptoms after vaccination during her observation at the medical facility and did not have a history of allergic reactions. She was brought dead to M.S. Ramaiah Hospital, and the autopsy revealed pulmonary edema. Antibodies to COVID-19, inflammatory markers, serum IgE, and coagulation indicators in the postmortem blood sample were high. The cause of death was attributed to a delayed allergic reaction to COVISHIELD vaccine. Newer vaccines can cause fatal allergic reaction, sometimes later than expected, even when cutaneous reactions may not be present.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Для снижения смертности и заболеваемости от инфекционных заболеваний, особенно в условиях пандемии COVID-19, необходимы вакцины. Для борьбы с пандемией во всём мире были разработаны различные типы вакцин. Однако в отношении всех типов вакцин от COVID-19 регистрировались поствакцинальные осложнения, включая анафилаксию, которая часто возникает у ранее страдавших аллергическими реакциями. В Индии лица, получившие вакцину, остаются под наблюдением в медицинском учреждении в течение 30 минут, поскольку неблагоприятные реакции развиваются в течение нескольких минут или часов после её введения.</p> <p>В статье представлен случай 23-летней женщины, скончавшейся через 24 часа после введения рекомбинантной вакцины ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (COVISHIELD). Во время наблюдения в медицинском учреждении у пациентки не было никаких симптомов после вакцинации, а также аллергических реакций в анамнезе. Женщина была доставлена мёртвой в больницу при Медицинском колледже им. М.С. Рамайя, вскрытие показало отёк лёгких. В посмертном образце крови обнаружены антитела к COVID-19, маркеры воспаления, сывороточный IgE и признаки коагуляции. Причиной смерти была названа аллергическая реакция замедленного типа на вакцину COVISHIELD.</p> <p>Вакцины нового поколения могут вызывать фатальные аллергические реакции иногда позже, чем предусмотрено протоколом, и даже при отсутствии кожных реакций.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>降低传染病的死亡率和发病率需要疫苗。这一点在COVID-19大流行中尤为重要。世界各地已开发出不同类型的疫苗来应对大流行。然而，所有COVID-19疫苗类型都有接种后并发症的报道。其中一种并发症是过敏性休克。过敏性休克通常发生在曾经有过过敏反应的人身上。在印度，接种疫苗的人要在医疗机构接受30分钟的监督，因为在接种疫苗后几分钟到几小时内就会出现不良反应。</p> <p>本文介绍一名23岁女性的案例。她在接种重组ChAdOx1 nCoV-19疫苗（COVISHIELD）24小时后去世了。在医疗机构随访期间，患者没有出现接种后症状。过去也未出现过敏反应。这名妇女被送到M.S.Ramaiah医学院附属医院（M.S.Ramaiah Medical College）时已经去世了。尸检显示了肺水肿。尸检血样显示了有COVID-19抗体、炎症标记物、血清IgE和血凝迹象。死因是对COVISHIELD疫苗的迟发型过敏反应。新一代疫苗可能会引起致命的过敏反应，有时比方案规定的时间更晚。即使没有皮肤反应，疫苗也可能引起致命的过敏反应。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>vaccine</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>adverse reactions</kwd><kwd>death</kwd><kwd>case report</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>вакцина</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>побочные реакции</kwd><kwd>смерть</kwd><kwd>клинический случай</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>疫苗</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>不良反应</kwd><kwd>死亡</kwd><kwd>临床案例</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Johns Hopkins University &amp; Medicine [Internet].
