We present a case of SARS-CoV-2 B.1. 525 infection in a healthcare worker despite the presence of highly neutralizing, multivariant-specific antibodies 7 weeks after full vaccination with the mRNA vaccine BNT162b2. We show that the virus replicated to high levels in the upper respiratory tract over the course of several days in the presence of strong antibody responses. The virus was readily propagatable in vitro, demonstrating the potential to transmit to others, bolstered by the fact that several household members were equally infected. This highlights the importance of protective measures even in vaccinated individuals.

Context: Benign Acute Childhood Myositis (BACM) is a self-limited syndrome of acute myalgia prevalent in calf with impaired walking after Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. This report analyze the clinical condition and investigation of BACM case, by medical record. Case report: C.L.F.A., male, 12 years, in use of clobazam, sodium divalproate, topiramate and lamotrigine, started low back pain. One day after, presented headache, fever and nasal congestion. Reported convulsive febrile episodes. At following morning received Upper Respiratory Tract Infection diagnoses. Next day, maintained symptoms and developed thrombocytopenia. Discharged due to suspicion of dengue. After 24 hours, returned with improved thrombocytopenia, also with leukopenia. At 5th day, started pain in lower limbs and impaired walking. Due to muscle symptoms worsening and increased creatinophosphokinase, hospital admission were indicated. Laboratory tests found increased in creatinekinase (10,180 U/L), CKMB (129,6 U/L), leukopenia (2800/mm3 ) and thrombocytopenia (174,000 / mm3 ). Anti-HIV, anti- leptospirosis, dengue, Chikungunya and anti-HCV tests resulted negative. At the 6th hospitalization day, he was discharged virtue of muscle symptoms, leukocytosis and creatinekinase levels favorable progression. Conclusions: BACM has excellent prognosis and self-limited course, so outpatient care is feasible. The diagnosis is clinical. If neurological deficits, modified urine tests and rash, or symptoms duration longer than one week, differential diagnoses must be researched. Measure creatinekinase is important if pain or walking disability after viral episode. Early intervention avoids complications.
