This case illustrates the possibility of developing severe multisystem symptoms from a COVID-19 infection, despite having received the COVID-19 vaccine within the year. Delay in treatment for myocarditis and encephalopathy can lead to permanent and possibly fatal damage. Our patient, a middle-aged female with a complicated medical history, initially came in without characteristic manifestations of myocarditis such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or arrhythmia, but with an altered mental status. Through further laboratory tests, the patient was diagnosed with myocarditis and encephalopathy, which were resolved within weeks through medical management and physical\/occupational therapy. This case presentation describes the first reported case of concomitant COVID-19 myocarditis and encephalitis after receiving a booster dose within the year.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines11030541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]],"date-time":"2023-02-27T03:52:21Z","timestamp":1677469941000},"page":"541","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Rare Single Case of COVID-19-Induced Acute Myocarditis and Encephalopathy Presenting Simultaneously"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0166-4181","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Usman","family":"Saeedullah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Biomedical Research Institute, NYU Long Island School of Medicine, 101 Mineola Boulevard, Suite 4-004, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3405-9444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anas M.","family":"Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 E Adams St, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caitlin","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 E Adams St, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maha","family":"Bayya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 E Adams St, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenish","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SUNY Upstate Medical University, 750 E Adams St, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Araf M.","family":"Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Professions & Human Services, Department of Population Health, Hofstra University 1000 Hempstead Turnpike, Hempstead, NY 11549, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua","family":"DeLeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Biomedical Research Institute, NYU Long Island School of Medicine, 101 Mineola Boulevard, Suite 4-004, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4478-2441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Allison B.","family":"Reiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Biomedical Research Institute, NYU Long Island School of Medicine, 101 Mineola Boulevard, Suite 4-004, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.4103\/aer.aer_55_22","article-title":"Reduction in the Rate of Mortality of Moderate to Severe COVID 19 Infected Patients with the use of Remdesivir\u2014A Tertiary Care Hospital-Based Retrospective Observational Study","volume":"16","author":"Lakhanpal","year":"2022","journal-title":"Anesth.
