Abstract
A 56-year-old man presented at the emergency department with bilateral eye pain, itching and watery discharge for 10 days, fever for seven days, and cough for one day. He had been vaccinated against COVID-19 and had developed ocular symptoms two days after receiving the second dose of the vaccine Sinopharm. Investigations revealed that the nasal PCR was positive for COVID-19. We managed him on the lines of episcleritis and critical COVID-19 pneumonia. The patient later deteriorated and was intubated. He died on the sixth day of his hospitalization as a result of a protracted disease course and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We report the development of episcleritis and critical COVID-19 infection after COVID-19 vaccination to emphasize the consideration of antibody-dependent enhancement after vaccination.
