Progressive Monoarticular Inflammatory Arthritis Following Influenza Vaccination
Musculoskeletal injury is an uncommon but usually self-limited complication of vaccine administration. We present a case of progressive inflammatory monoarthritis of the shoulder characterized by bone erosion, bursitis, and severe synovitis caused by an influenza vaccine administered to the ipsilateral deltoid region. Clinical symptoms began within 2 hours of vaccination, with progressive decline in function over 6 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging examinations performed 5 months apart demonstrated progressive erosive changes of the greater tuberosity, rotator cuff injury, and extensive enhancing synovitis of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial/subdeltoid bursa.
