Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To elucidate the molecular pathogenesis by detecting residual vaccine-derived nucleic acids or proteins using histological and molecular biological methods in cases that developed adverse events after COVID-19 infection and/or COVID-19 vaccination and underwent biopsy, as well as in fatal cases with sequelae that underwent autopsy.

- Research design: Molecular pathological and histological examination of biopsy and autopsy specimens
- Method of recruitment:
Patients who visited research implementing entity or were referred to research implementing entity from other medical institutions between February 2020 and December 31, 2026, and who meet the inclusion criteria and are judged by their attending physician to be appropriate for participation in this research, will be registered as research subjects. In addition, existing specimens and information may be provided from institutions which only provide existing specimens and information.
At affiliated institutions of the Japanese Society for Vaccine-related Complications, some research subjects have already been identified.
- To link the following datasets and explore potential associations and possible causal relationships from a molecular pathological perspective.:
1.Patient background
2.COVID-19 infection history
3.Information on adverse events that occurred after COVID-19 infection/COVID-19 vaccination/blood transfusion from vaccinated donors
4.Specimen information
5.Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
