Previously healthy 16 year old male presenting to hospital as a transfer for chest pain and elevated Troponin levels concerning for myocarditis. Patient has otherwise been healthy. Two days ago he received his second dose of COVID vaccination. He initially felt fine, but later that day had some body aches. The next day he felt feverish off and on and had dull left upper sternal border chest pain intermittently. Today, he reports sharp 7/10 mid sternal chest pain, lightheadedness, sweating, chills, and intermittent non-productive cough. He presented to original hospital for evaluation. The patient admits to tactile warmth since Sunday with no documented temperatures. He recently received his second dose of Pfizer just before onset of these symptoms. He reports difficulty sleeping since Sunday, but no shortness of breath, rashes, syncope, nausea, or vomiting. He has not had any other recent illness, fevers, or known COVID-19 exposures. He denies any history of prior cardiac disease and there is no known family history of cardiac disease, arrhythmias, or sudden death in the child or adolescent period. He denies illicit or recreational drug use. In the ED, he was well appearing with pain now 1 out of 10. POC troponin was 16.8 ng/mL. He had labs pertinent for ESR 10, CRP 3.0, BNP 24. RP2 PCR was negative. UDS was negative except for opiates (s/p morphine). IV was placed and patient was started on IV fluids. EKG was obtained and showed questionable left atrial enlargement per ED read. Cardiology was consulted and performed Echocardiogram in the ED at bedside and was within normal limits. Cardiology resident team contacted for admission. Past Medical History: No major medical diagnoses Past Surgical History: Orchiopexy, T&A Family History: No cardiac family history Social History: Lives at home with mother. Has two healthy siblings not living at home Immunizations: Up to date Medications: None Allergies: NKDA Etiology of likely myocarditis remains unclear at this time. In his age group, this would most likely represent a viral myocarditis. He would likely benefit from cardiac MRI during this admission for further evaluation of myocarditis. His EKG findings with his age group are unlikely to be secondary to myocardial infarct. No arrhythmias or heart block noted on EKG at time of admission or telemetry in ED. There is no family history of autoimmune disease or cardiac disease to suggest an autoimmune component or genetic etiology.

The day following the second Pfizer shot the patient developed a fever to 101.5 that improved with Tylenol and did not recur. On that same day he felt tingling in the hands and feet and reported a floating sensation. This too resolved with resolution of fever. On the third day after the shot he developed chest pain, difficulty taking a deep breath. He woke up the following morning with nausea which resolved but the chest pain and a feeling that it was hard to take a deep breath worsened. The pain was significant enough that he went to the ER. In the ER, he was found to have an ECG consistent with acute pericarditis and his troponin was elevated (2.75, upper limits of normal 0.03). He was started on IV Toradol and admitted to the hospital. His troponin kept climbing so he was also given IVIG (80 gm). The following morning his Troponin started coming down and he no longer was reporting any symptoms.

16yo previously healthy male presenting with chest pain. He received second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine on Wednesday at 3p. That evening, he developed fevers, chills and had trouble sleeping. On Thursday, he began feeling heart palpitations and again slept. Overnight, he developed midline chest pain, and decided to present to the emergency room. His EKG showed elevated ST segments. Labs were remarkable for elevated troponin, leukocytosis, and elevated CRP; echo showed normal function but subtle hypokinesis of the apex. He was given morphine, Tylenol, Ketorolac, 1L NS, and possibly aspirin before being transferred to the ED. In our ED, he had a reassuring exam, was no longer reporting chest pain. He had labs drawn which showed a white count to 15.3, normal H/H, Plt 152, ESR 12, CRP 10, and Trop T 1.14. Aside from the above symptoms, he has been in his usual well state without viral symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, joint pain, or other symptoms. He has no past medical or surgical history. Immunizations are up to date. His social history is benign. Patient was admitted to the cardiology floor for continued monitoring of his troponin levels and EKG. An echocardiogram was performed which showed mild LV systolic dysfunction. He was then treated with IVIG 2g/kg and started on methylprednisolone IV q12h. He remained asymptomatic with no chest pain throughout his admission. He was transitioned over to PO steroids on 6/13 which he tolerated well. On day of discharge, his troponin levels were trending down. Cardiac MRI showed an area of late gadolinium enhancement in the LV, with no abnormal function. By time of discharge, patient was well-appearing, vitals stable, demonstrating good PO intake including tolerance of PO steroid. Prescriptions sent to preferred pharmacy. Follow up with cardiology to be arranged. Discharge instructions and return precautions reviewed with patient and parent, who expressed good understanding and agreement with plan.

Patient received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on 5/7/21. On 5/13/21 he began to feel feverish (unsure Tmax, never took temperature) and was intermittently febrile until hospital admission on 5/20/21. On 5/18/21 he was seen in the ED for fever and tested positive for strep throat and started on amoxicillin. His inflammatory labs were elevated at this time and did not notice improvement on amoxicillin. He returned to the ED on 5/20/21 at which time patient reported headaches on the right side, sharp 7/10 pain which come and go with the fevers as well as fatigue, muscle/body aches, and sweats in addition to persistent fever. He also noticed maculopapular rash on palms and soles and on distal extremities which was not pruritic or painful on day of hospital admission. All infectious workup was negative and patient did not improve on broad spectrum antibiotics. Given his persistent fever, hypotension, and inflammatory labs without other cause, patient was empirically treated for MIS-C and was given IVIG and methylprednisolone as well as being started on prophylactic dose enoxaparin for his elevated D-dimer. Repeat echocardiogram identified a new coronary aneurysm, supporting the diagnosis of MIS-C. Following IVIG and steroids patient remained afebrile and inflammatory markers down trended, however liver enzymes remained elevated at time of discharge. He improved and was discharged to finish steroid course at home with close follow up.

PATIENT SUMMARY: Reason for Hospitalization: Chest pain Admission HPI: a 17 year old young man with a remote history of asthma (last used inhaler 5-6 years ago) who is presenting with 1 day chest pain in the setting of recent Pfizer Covid vaccination. He received his second Pfizer vaccine dose 3 days ago. The following day, he experienced low grade fever to 100.4 and mild headache. He felt fine yesterday, but this morning he woke up with dyspnea and feeling like he "couldn't get air in all the way".

He presented to an urgent care facility this morning, where they did an EKG that showed ST segment elevations diffusely. He was then transferred to Hospital. he was overall well appearing with slight tachypnea but otherwise normal vital signs. He initially was not endorsing chest pain. They drew a troponin that was elevated to 1515 ng/L with an upper limit of normal 54 (likely 1.5 on our scale). BNP, electrolytes, CBC were all within normal limits. Initial EKG did not have any ST segment elevation. They did a chest XR which did not show any signs of pulmonary edema or cardiomegaly. He later developed chest pain so an EKG was repeated which showed recurrence of the ST elevations diffusely; most prominently in V1-2. Repeat troponin was 2000. He was given a single dose of aspirin 81mg and transferred for further care. In the ED, he was well appearing and no longer endorsing chest pain. He was monitored on continuous telemetry with no abnormalities. His troponin here was 0.27 ng/mL, CRP was elevated to 2.6, he had a mild transaminitis of 41/37 and mildly elevated LDH to 236. Covid antibodies were positive. CBC, ferritin, d-dimer, ESR were all within normal limits, rapid Covid/flu/RSV negative. Repeat EKG was similar to the second EKG with very minimal ST-segment elevations. He denies any URI symptoms, rashes, N/V/D, and joint pain. He's had good PO intake until today. He is an athlete (currently playing baseball) and has never experienced chest pain with exercise. Surgical hx: T&A Family history: Negative for any cardiac pathology or autoimmune disease Allergies: rash with penicillin Social: here with grandma who is legal guardian Hospital Course: admitted to the cardiology floor for continued monitoring of his troponin levels and EKG. The morning after his admission, his troponin was uptrending slightly to 0.37 and echocardiogram showed mildly depressed systolic function and longitudinal strain, so the decision was made to treat. Cardiac MRI performed prior to treatment showed good systolic function but mild LV late gadolinium enhancement and corresponding hypokinesis. He received one time IVIG 2g/kg and IV methylprednisolone 30mg BID for 2 doses. His chest pain came and went throughout his admission and was treated with ibuprofen and Tylenol as needed. He was transitioned over to PO steroids on 7/20 which he tolerated well. On day of discharge, his troponin levels were trending down. Pt was scheduled for outpatient follow up including ECHO at that time. By time of discharge, patient was well-appearing, vitals stable, demonstrating good PO intake. Chest pain was fully resolved. Prescriptions sent to preferred pharmacy. Follow up with cardiology in place. Discharge instructions and return precautions reviewed with patient and parent, who expressed good understanding and agreement with plan. Reasons for new, changed, and discontinued medications: Prednisone for myocarditis to complete 5 day steroid course (last dose morning of 7/24) Famotidine (GI protection while taking prednisone) Reasons for new, changed, and discontinued equipment: NA Relevant Diagnostic Images/Studies: Echocardiogram 7/19: ? Technically difficult examination due to suboptimal echocardiographic windows. Unable to evaluate the atrial septum, systemic and pulmonary veins, pulmonary arteries, and aortic arch. Coronary artery dilation is not excluded. ? Normal valvular function. ? Normal left ventricular size and low-normal systolic function. Reduced longitudinal strain. ? Qualitatively normal right ventricular systolic function. ? No pericardial effusion. Cardiac MRI 7/19: ? Normal left ventricular size and global systolic function. ? Basal inferoseptal, inferior, and inferolateral left ventricular late gadolinium enhancement with corresponding mild hypokinesis. ? Normal right ventricular size and global systolic function. No right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement or regional wall motion abnormalities. ? No significant valvular dysfunction. ? No coronary artery aneurysms. ? No pericardial effusion. Admission EKG 7/18: ST segment changes, non-specific. Discharge EKG: minimal ST segment changes, improved from admission.

Health Care Proxy: Under 18 years old MOLST: Under 18 years old Follow-Up and Patient Instructions Patient Instructions He was admitted for management of myocarditis thought to be due to his SARS-CoV2 vaccination. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle that can happen with many different types of infections and virusesHe received IVIG and steroids. He had multiple EKGs, echocardiograms, and a cardiac MRI which showed mild changes but overall good heart function. His chest pain and heart studies improved throughout his stay and he was safe for discharge home. He should refrain from strenuous exercise for the next couple of months and you should discuss when it is safe to return to exercise with your outpatient cardiologist. Medications: --- Prednisone 30mg twice per day for _ days (last day _) --- Famotidine 20mg twice per day for _ days (last day _) It is important to minimize activity that raises his heart rate for the next 3 months. This will be discussed in more detail at cardiology appointment. Until then, no strenuous exercise. Attending Attestation CARDIOLOGY INPATIENT ATTENDING DISCHARGE NOTE: I reviewed the history and hospital course, examined the patient on rounds, reviewed the testing, discussed the findings with the Cardiology Team, and participated directly in formulation of the assessment and plan for discharge. I have reviewed and agree with the documentation above with the following additions/revisions:17yo admitted with COVID vaccine associated myocarditis, with repolarization abnormalities on ECG, elevated troponin, and chest pain within days after receiving his 2nd dose. He remained hemodynamically stable with preserved ventricular systolic function. Echo did show abnormal strain, and MRI showed LGE with focal hypokinesis. Due to increasing troponin level, he was treated with IVIG and steroids with improvement in troponins. No significant arrhythmia. Plan for follow-up next week with MISC/vaccine myocarditis group, and to complete a 5-day course of steroids. Restricted from sports and intense activity for likely at least 3 months.

Patient presented to the emergency department early March 28, 2021 after experiencing 5-7 hours of chest pain. The chest started when the patient went to bed the evening of March 27, where he began having substernal non-radiating chest pain with inspiration. The pain was relieved by sitting upright and by taking some acetaminophen. He received his 2nd dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on March 25 (first dose was March 5). He was initially treated with ketorolac 15mg IV and given 1 liter of lactated ringer's solution via IV. His chest pain resolved after this. He was eventually given colchicine 0.6mg twice daily and ibuprofen 600mg 3 times daily due to concern for myopericarditis. He was ultimately found to have no evidence of pericarditis after undergoing a cardiac MRI, thus colchicine and ibuprofen were discontinued. Due to findings of mildly reduced ejection fraction on imaging, he was started on metoprolol XL 25mg once daily at discharge.

My son received his first vaccine dose in his left arm on Friday April 9 at 8:45 am. By Sunday when he woke up, he noticed a walnut sized lump on his left clavicle. It felt unusual and moved on the bone every time he turned his head or moved his arm. There was no redness or fever and it felt hard. It was still there on Monday morning (April 12) so we called his primary care doctor which is where he received the vaccine. The doctor felt it could be a cyst or swollen lymph node and is sending him to a general surgeon next week for further evaluation. The doctor was uncertain if the lump was directly related to the vaccination. Other than acne, patient has no other preexisting conditions. He did have COVID19 in November with only mild symptoms (positive test on 11-23-20; no fever or cough, just felt tired for a couple days).

18M with no PMH s/p pfizer vaccination dose 2 on 5/4/21 who presented with chest pain. He initially had chest pain the day prior to admission with pain in his back and down his left arm. This improved with Tylenol and resolved prior to bed. On the morning of 5/6 the chest pain returned and was so severe it woke him from sleep. He was difficult for him to characterize, but he said it was all over his chest, sometimes sharp and pressure-like, most severe in mid substernal region and was so substantial that he had difficulty speaking properly. He feels that the pain is most severe when lying flat and is best managed when he is resting at a 45 degree angle. Patient was at ED he was found to have an initial ECG with ST depressions in aVR and elevations in II, aVF, and V2 through V6 raising suspicion for pericarditis/myocarditis. Initial troponin was elevated at 4.35 as well. Cardiology Dr. was contacted by ED physician, case discussed, and EKGs reviewed and felt this was more likely pericarditis, but not STEMI. Of note, he reports a family history significant for his mother having a?hole in her heart.?He was given Toradol with improvement in his pain and upon arrival to hospital his chest pain was markedly improved. He was noted to have troponins peaking at 39.415 that down trended and an elevated CRP of 4.8 on admission. D-dimer was 0.26. Covid PCR was negative. He was evaluated by cardiology again here who upon review of his ECG and cardiac enzymes as well as presentation was consistent with pericarditis. Echocardiogram showed normal LV systolic function with trace posterior pericardial effusion and telemetry was monitored without any arrhythmias. He was started on low-dose beta-blockers, aspirin 650 mg 3 times a day, and colchicine 0.6 mg every 12 hours for 2 doses followed by 0.6 mg daily. He is planned to continue this for approximately 3 months and will need to follow-up with cardiology in 1 to 2 weeks for repeat monitoring and management with plan to taper off aspirin once his CRP normalizes. Later that night, he even had a similar episode of sudden onset chest pain for which she received IV Toradol with minimal relief and oral Tylenol with relief of symptoms after that. No telemetry abnormalities were recorded at that time. ECG the following day showed improving ST changes and troponin of 26.328 with CRP 4.2. He had no further symptoms for over 24 hours and is responding well to treatment. He is advised to take Tylenol as needed in addition to the above-mentioned medicines should he have any recurrent chest pain.

right hand swelled up around the size(twice the size of his normal hand would be); Scrotum was swollen; Bottom lips swelled; Normal flu like symptoms; He was sore; Didn't feel well; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable nurse (patient's mother). An 18-year-old male patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), second dose intramuscularly, administered in left arm at the age of 18-year-old on 24May2021(around 1 PM) (Lot Number: ER8729) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history was none. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), first dose intramuscularly, administered in left arm at the age of 18-year-old on 03May2021(around 1 PM) (Lot Number: ER8737) as single dose for covid-19 immunization. The patient hadn't taken any vaccine 4 weeks prior to the COVID 19 Vaccine. There was no family history relevant to the adverse event. Nurse stated her son had the normal flu like symptoms afterwards when he was sore and didn't feel well in May2021. A day later(in May2021) his bottom lips swelled just his bottom lips there was no oropharyngeal response on the side of the lips. He took Benadryl and about 8 to 12 hours later it went down. On Thursday(27May2021), his right hand swelled up around the size, she meant twice the size of his normal hand would be, that also lasted around 12 hours or so. Today(in May2021) he called her from work and his scrotum was swollen. And she was trying to find out if this was a normal, she was a nurse working in an emergency department and this was not a normal response in anyone else that she had heard of who had gotten the vaccine but she wanted to call to see if this was something maybe somebody else has experienced, or one of the doctor, one of the doctor that she work with prescribed a Medrol dose pack for him just in case. The outcome of the event 'bottom lips swelled was recovering, of the event right hand swelled up around the size(twice the size of his normal hand would be) was recovered in May2021, of the other events was unknown.

Allergy to red meat became prevalent again. Since becoming allergic to red meat in the summer of 2020, I had gained a tolerance to red meat to the point where I could consume as much as I wanted. This lasted between August 2020 and the date listed in this report. On that date I consumed red meat and had an allergic reaction to it. The reaction was a swelling of the fingers, hives on the arms and knees and wrist. As I didn?t have any reactions to red meat in the previous 10 months I didn?t make the connection that I was allergic to red meat again. The following Monday I consumed more red meat. That night I was very drowsy and went to bed at 1900. At around 0100 Tuesday morning I woke up with a terrible stomach ache and could feel my hands itching. I tried to go back to sleep. At around 0430 I woke up again with completely swollen hands to the point where I couldn?t bend any joint in them, hives on my wrists, knees, elbows, neck, forehead, back, and back of thighs. I went to the hospital for a severe allergic reaction. This is the exact same allergic reaction that I would have when I consumed red meat in June 2020 at the height of my allergy, but I had never had a reaction like it since then. Now I am sensitive to red meat again and I can?t think of any reason except that I received the vaccine. I have not consumed red meat since.

Per patient he received his second Covid vaccine 3 days prior to arrival and immediately following developed myalgias, subjective fevers and " viral symptoms" which she managed with ibuprofen 2 tabs q6h some improvement. On the day prior to arrival he developed increasing shortness of breath particularly with talking and with ambulation. He also describes chest tightness with deep inspiration, the tightness radiates to back, no radiation to left arm or jaw. Chest tightness is non-positional, but does feel worse immediately after he lies down from ambulation and then slowly dissipates. His last subjective fever was yesterday evening. He has never had a reaction to the vaccine before. He has no allergies. No prior medical conditions he is aware of, and takes no medications. He did not experience any of the symptoms following the first vaccine. He has h/o asymptomatic COVID infection in November 2020. Cardiology consulted for concern of pericarditis post COVID-19 vaccine. He does not have significant ST elevation or PR depression. He also does not have evidence of significant pericardial effusion at this point. The high sensitivity troponins are mildly elevated. He does have viral syndrome. Is unclear if Covid vaccination was causally related to his symptoms. We would like to improve his medications for better chest pain control and to prevent recurrent pericarditis in the future.

On the medicine floor he was initially found to have rhabdomyolysis (CK 584), worsening renal failure (Creatinine 8), follicular conjunctivitis by skin biopsy, a low CD3/CD4 count (CD4 91, CD3 47, CD8 258) with normal complement, and bilateral tinnitus. CT A/P without contrast showed increased attenuation of renal pelves and ureters consistent with hemorrhage, but no renal stones or hydronephrosis was seen. The patient was treated with pulse dose 500mg IV Methylprednisilone for 3 days and then transitioned to 60mg Prednisone. The patient?s pustular rash and oral leukoplakia greatly improved while on pulse dose steroids, but his kidney function continued to decline (Creatinine rising from 8 to 11), and the patient?s bilateral tinnitus progressed to bilateral sensorineural deafness over 2 days. Bilateral hearing loss prompted an MRI of the brain which identified several punctate infarcts across multiple vascular territories in bilateral cortices and left cerebellum. The patient?s kidney function has continued to decline, with progressive hyperkalemia and hemodialysis was begun.

Patient is a 21 y.o. male with no past medical history who got his second dose of COVID (Pfizer) vaccine on Saturday presented with chest pain since Sunday. Patient says that he was in his USOH until yesterday when he started having substernal chest pain which was getting worse with inspiration but also with specific movements. He does have pain even at rest sometimes but he thinks that it's exacerbating by breathing. Had some nausea/vomiting as well. Denies other symptoms. Not really sob or leg swelling. In the ER, his Trop I was 10.7 and his WBC was 12.2. His EKG was NSR with short PR and STE I, II, III, AVF, V4-V6 Patient is a 21 y.o. male with no past medical history who got his second dose of COVID (Pfizer) vaccine on Saturday presented with chest pain since Sunday with some pleuritic characteristics. He was found to have a very elevated trop I to 10.7, leukocytosis to 12.2 and STE in I, II, III, AVF, V4-V6. His POCUS in the ER was without significant pericardial effusion and probably normal EF. Differential at this point includes pericarditis vs myopericarditis (there are some myocarditis cases reported in Israel post Pfizer vaccination, predominantly in young male patients) vs less likely ACS. Will need admission and further work up and treatment -Admission to Cardiology -NPO in case team tomorrow decides to proceed to LHC -Full echo and cardiac MRI tomorrow -Telemetry monitoring -Repeat EKG q4h overnight -send CRP, ESR -trend Trop to peak -would not start heparin gtt at this point -Please start tonight ASA 650 TID + Colchicine 0.6 mg BID 21-year-old man admitted with signs and symptoms of acute myo-pericarditis or in the setting of recent COVID-19 vaccination. He apparently had the findings are vaccine 2 days ago and developed pleuritic chest pain. His ECG shows pathognomonic changes for pericarditis in the is a small troponin elevation. He has no past medical history or exertional symptoms to suggest CAD. Bedside echocardiogram showed preserved left ventricular systolic function. He was admitted and placed on aspirin and colchicine. A cardiac MRI today showed evidence of myopericarditis. He had 3 beats of nonsustained VT on tele.

Pericarditis diagnosis: This is a 21 year old male who presented to the emergency department on 4/27/21 with a two-day history of chest pain. He was seen in a emergency department on 4/26 and reported a normal EKG, blood work, and x-ray. He was discharged home. His was worsened so he reported to an urgent care in . That team had a concern for pericarditis, so referred the patient to the emergency room. He had a reproducible pain over the costal margin but did describe a positional component. Provider felt they still had to consider pericarditis as well as costochondritis. The suspicion for pulmonary embolism or acute coronary syndrome or very low. The suspicion also for myocarditis was low. His EKG did show some J-point elevation versus ST elevation in the anterior and lateral leads. There was no evidence of reciprocal depression. His troponin test was normal. His CBC and metabolic panel were normal. He had had CRP which was mildly elevated at 4.6. A bedside point-of-care ultrasound showed no evidence of a pericardial effusion. Provider felt it was reasonable to treat him for pericarditis although his EKG is not classic for this. It was recommended he use his scheduled ibuprofen 600 mg 3 times a day. He was also given a 1 month course of daily colchicine 0.6 mg. It was recommend he follow closely with his PCP to see if he needs to have this colchicine course extended. He will follow-up with his primary doctor in 1 week for repeat check.

The side effects didn't all occur simultaneously. Friday evening I noticed severe arm soreness. Later Friday night (about 10 hours after getting the vaccine) I developed gradual onset chills, body aches, and fatigue. Saturday I woke up with a severe headache, body aches, fatigue, and fever. The headache became severe by mid-day, with fatigue also worsening throughout the day. Sunday was more of the same, though I believe the fever started inching down and the headache lessened. What developed Sunday afternoon/evening took me off guard though. I noticed a sudden drop in heart rate, a feeling of pressure and discomfort in the chest, nausea, and shortness of breath with exertion (consistently - not just once). (I'm a long-distance runner, so this is unusual for me.) At first I debated going to the emergency room, but since I'm so young and in otherwise good condition I thought nothing of it. I had similar symptoms the following day, but I avoided exerting myself until all of my symptoms from the vaccine had ended. I felt groggy and fatigued for several additional days, but by Saturday (8 days after getting the first dose of Pfizer) everything had resolved. I also developed swollen lymph nodes, which returned to normal size within about 3 weeks (before swelling again after the second vaccine). The second dose of the vaccine caused a more sudden and intense reaction, though I never developed chest pain/slow heart rate with it. Instead I developed sudden onset severe chills, fatigue, and body aches about 9 hours after getting the shot. A fast heart rate, shortness of breath, and sudden onset fever (temperature jumped nearly five degrees in about 90 minutes) quickly followed. My fever stabilized around 102.2 around 3 a.m. that morning, and slowly crept down throughout the afternoon/evening. Overall, with dizziness, body aches, extreme fatigue, etc., this was the sickest I've been since I had a severe case of the Flu in high school. The fatigue, shortness of breath, and fast heart rate continued for about a week - getting slightly better each day.

Did have some swelling and motor loss, NO CP, SOB or sensory loss, no redness, no injury, no fever, chills, ha, depression sore throat, cough, rash, lymphadenopathy, abd pain, GI distress, no trauma or recent illnesses. 2/21: admitted clinic w/rhabdomyolysis: no preceding workouts, increased activity on ship, back sleeper, no alcohol, no trauma,. nsp: skin intact, no erythema. Mild edema to upper arm around triceps. Mild purple discoloration to dorsum of hand. Palp: TTP about triceps. TTP anterior shoulder. TTP biceps. Able to palpate triceps tendon and biceps tendon. NTTP throughout the rest of hand and forearm. Hand is cooler relative to contralateral side. NTTP cervical spine. ROM: Full passive ROM of the shoulder and elbow with pain. No micromotion pain with any joint in the upper extremity. Painless cervical spine ROM. Motor: 3/5 strength to OP/FPL/2nd FDP, EIP/EPL, 1st and 2nd DIO. 3/5 deltoid, biceps, triceps, wrist extensors, wrist flexors.

The shoulder is well located. CTA starting at the heart demonstrate no vascular abnormalities. Assessment: unlikely that he has compartment syndrome or a cervical spine pathology. His exam does not localize to one specific innervation or muscle group. His paresthesias and diffuse 3/5 weakness on exam may be related to parsonage turner syndrome (post viral neuritis) versus edema. While he does have a cool hand and mild/moderate edema on exam, his CTA is normal and his exam is very reassuring that this is not compartment syndrome. He likely has rhabdomyolysis based on upper arm swelling in the setting of CK of 31924. Discharge 2/22/2021: He received a total of 3 liters of IV fluids and was encouraged to drink large amounts of water. Repeat CK levels showed to be down trending as were his AST and ALT enzymes. Plain radiographs of his left arm and shoulder were unremarkable as was CT angiography of his chest. Electrolytes and renal lab work was within normal limits throughout the hospitalization.On the day of discharge, he was tolerating a PO diet, ambulating without difficulty, and hemodynamically stable. LUE w/ minimal swelling, no erythema. TTP over L triceps belly, No TTP over the distal LUE. Somewhat decreased sensation to light touch over distal LUE. 2+ radial pulses b/l. LUE ROM somewhat limited 2/2 pain, but intact. ---- to f/u with HCP in 2 weeks, sooner if worse (medical officer) CK 2/22/21 was down to 14653

Approximately 7-10 days or so after receiving the first dose of the pfizer Covid vaccine I started to develop this red, nodule-like, painful "rash" on both of my forearms. Not only the left arm where the vaccine was administered. This did not go away after a couple of days, and I was instructed by a physician to being taking Benadryl. This appeared to alleviate the symptoms (no visible red nodules anymore) 4-5 days prior to my second dose, so I stopped the medication and presumed it was done. Then, within 4-5 hours of receiving my second Pfizer covid vaccine, I broke out into the same red, painful, nodule-like "rash" along both of my forearms. This time was worse than the previous reaction. I was instructed to take Allegra at the time by a physician, which I did for approximately 4 weeks. This seemed to get rid of the symptoms I was experiencing, and I could not visualize the nodules on my forearms anymore. However, after approximately 2 weeks, I noticed a painful and swollen vein in my right forearm, opposite arm to the one I received the vaccine in. I did not think much of it at the time, since I had no other associated symptoms. Then, over the next couple of weeks, it appeared to become more swollen and painful. Also, I saw another swollen vein near my knee. On April 6, I had labs drawn and CBC, CMP, TSH, and ESR came back normal, but the CRP was elevated. Thus, I was instructed to begin aspirin 325mg, which I took for 4 days beginning April 8th and ending April 12th. On April 13th, an official ultrasound confirmed a DVT in my right popliteal vein, a superficial thrombus in my proximal great saphenous vein, and a superficial thrombus in my right forearm where the pain originated from weeks prior. The initial presumption at this time is that the clots are vaccine-related, but could be linked to an underlying blood disorder that was triggered by the vaccine. Blood hyper coagulation labs have not yet come back. I was initiated on Eliquis starting April 12th for the DVT.

Days following dose 2, I began having fluid retention and elevated blood pressure. Over time, it has worsened. I am now having dizzy spells that can last 10 minutes to 6 hours up to twice a day, confusion/brain fog and heart flutters/elevated heart rate usually accompanied with fatigue. My previous doctor treated me by increasing the metoprolol and adding hydrochlorothiazide for fluid retention. I saw a new healthcare provider who is sending me to a cardiologist, neurologist, lipidologist and endocrinologist to figure out what is going on. I can not function in daily life. I cannot stand when dizzy and cannot drive. Symptoms appear to be worsening. In the meantime, he prescribed Ubrelvy to rule out migraines. None of this appeared until after dose 2 of Pfizer.

Swollen lymph nodes; Immune system has been compromised; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable other hcp. A 24-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: not reported; Expiry Date: unknown), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 23Jun2021 at 15:45 (at the age of 24-years-old) as dose 1, single for covid-19 immunisation. Medical history included autism spectrum disorder. There were no concomitant medications. Family medical history relevant to ae was none. History of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect was provided as ‘no.' No additional Vaccines Administered on same date of the Pfizer Suspect. The patient experienced swollen lymph nodes on 29Jun2021, and immune system has been compromised on Jun2021. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures on 29Jun2021 which included blood test: unknown, tuberculin test: unknown. This case was reported by a nurse for her son. It was reported that the patient. On 29Jun2021 received and MMR vaccine to fulfill college requirements. He was told at this appointment that he had swollen lymph nodes and was advised to wait for 2 weeks after his originally scheduled (14Jul2021) second Pfizer Covid vaccine dose. This would place his second Pfizer Covid vaccine dose at a 5 week interval, and not a 3 week interval. The caller wanted to know what are the implications of receiving an MMR vaccine in between the Pfizer Covid vaccine doses. Caller wanted to know how the effectiveness of the vaccine would be if her son waited an additional 2 weeks to get the second dose of the vaccine and if there are recommendations for treatment of his side effect (swollen lymphnodes) in the interim. Upon follow-up on 29Jun2021, new information were provided. Reporter specified herself as a Registered Nurse. It was confirmed that the report was not related to any study or programme. NDC number of Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine was unknown. Caller did not have the vaccine card and did not have in-formation about lot number to provide. Investigation Assessment was not provided. With the swollen lymph nodes, the immune system was compromised, and she assumes it was the effect of the DNA. The reporter thought that it was very specific to have in that window between the two dose of the vaccine, otherwise, the second shot may not be going to be effective. The patient was told to wait 2 weeks later than originally scheduled for the second shot. She has no idea what the implications this vaccinations has during this time. It was said that said that the lymph nodes were all enlarged because the immune system was compromised. After vaccination, patient went to the doctor today, instead of getting an MMR titer, he got the MMR vaccination. After that, they told him his lymph nodes were all enlarged and told him to get the second Pfizer shot later. The MMR shot was given between the 2 doses of the Covid vaccine. The patient went to an urgent care in withheld for his physical for college. They are now telling him to come back Thursday because they didn't do blood work. He is in the doctors office now. They noticed today during his evaluation and Swollen lymph nodes have stayed the same. The doctor told him to wait. Why did they give him the MMR? It doesn't sit well with her. The Pfizer expert told him to wait 2 weeks outside the window. Some people don't practice within their scope. The reporter can't believe they gave him the MMR, he has a developmental disability. It just shows that he has a compromised immune system. She thinks it is in response to the Pfizer. The reporter informed that it is good that the body is responding in some way. It is the body building immunity, she would think. Is supposed to go back 14Jul2021 for the second one. The doctor said to call Pfizer to see if it is acceptable to push it back 2 weeks. Causality as reported was related and reports it is the bodys response to developing immunity. The patient was given a TB test. Does not know why they didn't do a titer. MMR vaccine name/NDC, LOT, EXP unknown as reporter did not have that information right now. Outcome of the event swollen lymph nodes was not recovered and outcome of the immune system has been compromised was unknown. Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.

Pt is a 25M with PMH of GERD, ADHD, obesity who presented to the ED on 5/11 for chest pain. That morning he had noticed increased substernal chest pressure associated with palpitations, nausea, diaphoresis, and left arm tingling. He notes that early last year he was very sick and though he had COVID but confirmatory testing was not available at that time. After recovering from the illness he noted that he had occasionally episodes of chest pressure and palpitations. However yesterday was the worst his symptoms have ever been. He did receive his 2nd COVID vaccine this past Saturday and experienced fatigue, nausea, weakness. In the ED patient has HD stable, afebrile, saturating well on RA. Labs were notable for troponin of 5.2 which trend down to 3.1. ESR WNL, CRP elevated 2.4. EKG showed normal sinus rhythm with signs suggestive of possible pericarditis. CXR negative. CTA showed no pulmonary embolism, enlarged and prominent left axillary lymph nodes, nonspecific, cholelithiasis. Patient admitted for NSTEMI. Enlarged axillary lymph nodes likely reactive in the setting of recent COVID vaccine. Cardiology consulted. Patient underwent cardiac cath which was unremarkable. Cardiology recommends short course NSAIDs for possible pericarditis, however EKG changes unimpressive per cardiology. Discharged home on ibuprofen 400 mg TID for 5 days. Advise follow up with PCP within 1 week.

Patient developed sudden onset of fevers and malaise on 5/7/21 (26 days after his 2nd Pfizer COVID vaccine). His symptoms progressed to involve shortness of breath which prompted his admission to our Hospital on 5/12/21. He rapidly deteriorated requiring intubation and ultimately placement on ECMO and temporary internal heart pump (Impella device) placement. He was thought to have myocarditis due to elevated troponins at the time of admission and cardiac MRI showing wide spread myocardial inflammation suggestive of myocarditis. He was treated with high dose steroids and supportive care due to the concern for cytokine storm and eventually started to show signs of improvement. He was eventually taken off ECMO, internal heart pump and ventilatory support and went home after 20 days in the hospital. However, follow up cardiac MRI revealed ongoing myocarditis, but his ejection fraction had improved.

A 25-year-old male patient received the first dose for BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Lot No. EWO187) at single dose for COVID-19 immunization on 19May2021 at 12:00 or 13:00. Relevant history included Diabetes, obesity, endocrine abnormalities, genetic/chromosomal abnormalities, respiratory illness, compromised immune status and Allergies. The patient had Allergies to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can induce anaphylactic shock, severe reaction, swelling of face and throat. Relevant concomitant drug was unknown. No history of all previous immunization with the Pfizer vaccine considered as suspect. No Additional Vaccines were Administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect If applicable. No Vaccines were Administered prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). Family Medical History was none. About 3-5 minutes after being administered the Vaccine, the patient immediately developed anaphylactic shock. He was transported via ambulance to the Emergency Room on 19May2021 where he verified he was admitted to the hospital Emergency room for about 5-6 hours and discharged from the hospital the same day, 19May2021. He was told not to get any additional doses. He was still having swelling of the throat and went back to the ER today and was given a steroid prednisone 40mg a day for 5 days. He was advised to take benadryl also. He said he didn't get any IVs or anything. He had a past medical history of anaphylactic reaction to NSAIDS. He has been advised not to get the second dose. The patient stated the anaphylactic shock occurred with trouble breathing, throat was swelling and itchy throat. He did go into ER, they told him to just keep drinking fluids, that there was nothing else they could really do. When he was seen in the emergency room they gave him Benadryl and a steroid: Prednisone for now which he is on for the next couple of days. He was told that after 2 days or something, that after getting injected that he wouldn't have any symptoms-but he is still having those pretty severe symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Initial onset of anaphylactic shock was about 3-5 minutes after Pfizer Covid Vaccine shot was administered. Within 10-15 minutes he had swelling of tongue and throat and difficulty breathing. They called an ambulance, the ambulance took him to the Hospital emergency room where he was admitted and discharged that same date on 19May2021 after about 5-6 hours; he reported discharge time was around 16:40. They told him to come back if he had any issues that occurred over next couple of days or worsening or causing problems; to call back the nurses line. He was on a lot of Benadryl, a lot of antihistamines. When he gets off the antihistamines almost all the allergic reactions of the anaphylactic shock reoccur. This morning, 21May2021, he didn't take any Bendaryl before bed, and this morning when he woke up he was alright. After being at work like 30 minutes he felt the itchiness; scratchy throat; swelling of tongue; a little swelling of the throat; difficulty breathing. He took Benadryl and called the hotline who told him to call the Emergency room, he called the emergency room and went there. He talked to them this morning because he went to work and had issues breathing. He called and they told him to come in asap, so he went in to the emergency room; they gave him Benadryl and told him there was nothing else they could do other than him taking the steroid: Prednisone. The patient was in the hospital 3 days and will be day 4 tomorrow. He was trying to figure out how long this will last. They told him to talk to his doctor. They basically told him they were not responsible. The patient's mother reported that her son received the shot Wed 19May2021. Does not know if the Walgreen's reported this. He left there in an ambulance within 10 minutes of getting the shot. They took him to the emergency room and he got mixed information. He went back again today. They blew him off and told him maybe it was something he ate. She assumed that an allergic reaction would be about 24 hours but this is day 3. She is scared he may be taking too much Benadryl. He said he felt like he needed something to drink. Said that his throat felt really thirsty. He went back inside since his throat fell really tight. They told him was throat was closing up. They saw that his throat was swollen and they called the paramedics. Within 15 minutes they came and brought him to the emergency room. Nobody had given him Epi. They were going to give it to him an Epi pen but he wanted to wait for the paramedics. He was freaking out. The paramedics showed up and they were unable to give him Epi, stating he didn't have hives. He only received Benadryl. They he had to have to give him extra Benadryl because whatever they gave him in the IV because the first didn't work and his throat was still closing up. It made him feel like a drug addict asking for Benadryl. She was not sure if they gave him Benadryl in the ambulance, knows that it was given in the emergency room. The Benadryl may have been started in the ambulance but she is not sure. They did give him oxygen in the ambulance. Clarified he was in the ER over 4 hours, but was not admitted to the hospital. They gave him steroids but forgot to send him home with steroids. He had to call to find out about getting them and they told him they forgot to send the prescription in. He was late starting the next dose of steroids. He went back to the ER today, day 3. He didn't feel too bad today and went to work. After exerting a little energy and moving around, his throat started to do it again. He didn't have Benadryl on him. He left work because he thought it was going to close up again the day he got the shot. Once he calmed down, he took Benadryl. He called the hospital to ask if this was normal. He was told that it is not normal and was told that if he still felt bad, to come to the hospital. They said maybe it was something he ate or maybe sinuses. He spoke to one of the doctors. They had never shown him how to use an ePi pen. He does not know how long this will last. He gets scared. Treatment: Has only been taking Benadryl. He started the steroids yesterday and today. They had given him Benadryl today in the ER and he is home now. The patient visited to the Emergency room twice, first time by ambulance, confirmed he was not admitted. He was pretty devastated. The outcome of events was unknown.

Developed profuse bloody diarrhea and lower abdominal pain beginning ten days after vaccination on 4/17. Went to see Dr who performed lab work and stool tests that all came back negative (4/19). Was treated with Zithromax but had no resolution to his symptoms. No family history or prior history of IBD. It seems the onset of disease is clearly temporaly related to the timing of his Pfizer vaccine.

Follow up report: This time that it happened: I had on Saturday morning - urinating pain followed by blood in my urine. That persisted for the next two days. I went to an Urgent Care - this time. They did Urinalysis - confirmed blood in my urine; also leukocytes were high - they gave me course of antibiotics and it resolved that same day but I continued the seven day course of antibiotics - Bactrim. I thought it might be kidney stones but I never saw anything come out and it seemed to resolve pretty quickly. Yet it almost seemed resolved before I really started taking the antibiotics. They also gave me an ultrasound of my kidneys at the Urgent Care.

Neck had been pretty stiff: Caller reported that she noticed that the patient's neck seemed stiff about 2 weeks after the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Caller reported that she didn't think that that the Covid-19 vaccine could have caused the patient's stiff neck. Caller reported that she was asking the patient why he was moving so stiff, then she thought 3 weeks ago maybe it's connected to the Covid-19 vaccine. Caller reported that the patient's stiff neck was about the same. Caller reported that the patient was still turning stiffly but stated that he was trying to turn his neck. Caller reported that she didn't think that the patients neck hurt as much. Caller reported that the patient stated that his neck hurt just a little, but he had a high pain threshold.
