Case Presentation:
A 51-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with progressive dyspnea on exertion for 2 months after COVID-19 vaccination (ChAdOx1-S [recombinant] vaccine). She did not have a cough, fever, hemoptysis, weight loss, or night sweats. She had no history of arthritis, rash, photosensitivity, or other signs of autoimmune disease. Chest radiograph revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities and bilateral pulmonary nodules. She denied any history of smoking, contact with individuals infected with TB, relevant hobbies, or exposure to domestic animals.
