Taurine intake ameliorates lactic acidosis and hyperferritinemia occurring after mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a patient with β-thalassemia trait: a case report and review of literature
Regular taurine intake helps to avoid lactic acidosis and reverse hyperferritinemia after mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a patient with β-zero thalassemia trait with no obvious genetic trait linked to mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes. Taurine seemed to be protective for mitochondria.
