Comparison of post-COVID-19 vaccination hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT between virus-vector vaccine and mRNA vaccine

PURPOSE: We compared hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy (HLN) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) after virus-vector and mRNA vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

METHODS: This retrospective study included 573 participants who underwent FDG PET/CT after receiving a virus-vector vaccine (ChAdOx1, AstraZeneca [AZ] group) or an mRNA vaccine (mRNA-1273, Moderna [M] group) from July 2021 to October 2021. The incidence and avidity of HLN were evaluated and correlated with clinical features and vaccine type. The final analysis was conducted with 263 participants in the AZ group and 310 participants in the M group.

RESULTS: The HLN incidence was significantly lower in the AZ group than in the M group (38/263 [14%] vs. 74/310 [24%], p = 0.006). The FDG avidity of HLN was comparable between the two groups. The HLN incidence in both groups was significantly higher within 4 weeks after the vaccination compared with more than 4 weeks. The HLN incidence within 4 weeks of the vaccination was significantly higher in the M group than in the AZ group (p = 0.008), whereas a difference in HLN incidence between the two groups was not observed after the same duration (p = 0.11).

CONCLUSIONS: The mRNA mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine was found to be associated with higher glucose hypermetabolism in regional lymph nodes within the first 4 weeks compared with the virus-vector vaccine, as indicated by the presence of HLN on FDG PET/CT. The degree of glucose hypermetabolism was comparable between the two vaccines.
