Cervical longitudinally extensive myelitis after vaccination with inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccine

Myelitis, including longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LTEM), is reported in more than forty patients after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Among COVID-19 vaccines, only Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) has been associated with few cases of myelitis (1 LTEM). We report t...
