Case report of secondary T-cell deficiency following the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine

We present a case of secondary T-cell deficiency particularly affecting CD4 T cells, along with the emergence of chronic spontaneous urticaria in a patient following COVID-19 vaccination. The condition was partially managed with omalizumab after initial first-line therapy proved ineffective.
