The patient admitted on 19May2021 with sepsis secondary to myocarditis and pneumonia, status post (s/p) intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), after presenting with fever, myalgia, sore throat, hypotension, elevated troponin, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocytosis with left shift. Sore throat has been present for about a week (onset estimated on 12May2021) and fevers began on 17May2021 with a T max of 103. On 18May2021, she began developing shortness of breath and upon evaluation by the primary care physician (PCP) on 19May2021, she was admitted.

Computerized tomography (CT) of chest on 20May2021 showed patchy consolidation of the posterior lower lobes bilaterally. Upon transfer to another place, further serologies were collected which showed leukocytosis with left shift, highly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), elevated troponin, elevated Interleukin-6 (IL-6), elevated ferritin, negative covid antibodies (abs) test, negative respiratory viral panel  (RVP), and negative COVID PCR. Coronavirus NAA from nasal swab on 18May2021 was negative. Respiratory Viral Panel from nasal swab on 19May2021 was negative. COVID-19 (Standard NAA) from nasal swab on 19May2021 was negative.

The outcome of events was not recovered.; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information and the consistency with the known safety profile of the suspect product BNT162B2, there is a reasonable possibility that events sepsis, myocarditis, pneumonia were related to suspect drug based on the temporal relation between the vaccination and onset of events.
