Abstract

Dear Editor, The article by Temi I et al i . in response to our systematic review[1] on myocarditis post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination raises the issue of the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in treatment. It may be an inflammatory reaction, autoimmune-mediated effect due to molecular mimicry or it may be a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction.[2] Nonetheless, our systematic review concluded that myocarditis post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was mild, presented acutely a few days after vaccination and responded with complete recovery on conservative treatment. Firstly, the systematic review was carried out as there are no definite treatment guidelines for the treatment of myocarditis post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. [Extracted from the article]
