English Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been associated with autoimmune phenomena. However, the interplay between COVID-19 or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and Berger glomerulonephritis or Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis, two diseases mediated by immunoglobulin A, has never been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review of the literature on this topic. Following databases were used: Google Scholar, Excerpta Medica and the United States National Library of Medicine. Eighty-seven patients with immunoglobulin A-mediated diseases associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination against coronavirus were sorted out (53% males, 47% females; 34 17-51 years of age, median and interquartile range): 47 cases of Berger glomerulonephritis and 40 of Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis. Approximately 50% (N = 24) of Berger glomerulonephritis and 10% (N = 4) of Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis patients presented with a pre-existing history of immunoglobulin A-mediated disease. Almost all cases of Berger glomerulonephritis were vaccine-associated (N = 44; 94%), while most cases of Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis were infection-associated (N = 23; 57%). Among vaccine-associated immunoglobulin A diseases, about 90% were associated to mRNA-based vaccines. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that COVID-19 and vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 may trigger or exacerbate an immunoglobulin A-mediated diseases.
