She also had COVID-19 and her white blood count was elevated. The patient was treated with Phenergan, Cortisone and Tylenol. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included body temperature: 101 and 103 on unspecified date, magnetic resonance imaging: inflammation but nothing torn on 24Nov2020, COVID test: positive on unspecified date, and white blood count: elevated on unspecified date. The action taken in response to the events for adalimumab was temporarily withdrawn on an unspecified date. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of rotator cuff repair, light-headed, loss of smell, loss of taste, nauseous, allergy, and nerve pain. On unspecified date in Apr2021, the patient recovered from sleep excessive; recovered from light-headed on unspecified date. The patient was recovering from immunodeficiency, detachment of device, painful joints, complications due to internal joint prosthesis, knee swelling, stumbling, loss of smell, oral intake reduced, mobility decreased, contusion of lower leg, swelling, scar, loss of taste, pain legs, nauseous, tenderness, and nerve pain; had not yet recovered from Crohn's disease aggravated, fear of disease, frequent bowel movements, stress, and allergy; while outcome of the rest of the events was unknown. Causality as per reporter for Humira and events rotator cuff repair, sleep excessive, covid-19, knee arthropathy, weight gain, stress, white blood cell count increased, allergy, and nerve pain was no reasonable possibility while for events painful joints, knee swelling, fear of disease, light-headed, frequent bowel movement, swelling, crohn's disease aggravated, and tenderness were reasonable possibility. Causality as per Abbvie for Humira and event of immunodeficiency was reasonable possibility, for event contusion of lower leg was not assessable, while rest of the events was assessed as no reasonable possibility. Causality as per reporter for bnt162b2 and events rotator cuff repair, covid-19, knee arthropathy, weight gain, and white blood cell count increased was possible.  The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the events detachment of device, painful joints, complications due to internal joint prosthesis, knee swelling, fear of disease, sleep excessive, stumbling, immunodeficiency, light-headed, frequent bowel movements, feeling miserable, loss of smell, oral intake, mobility decreased, difficulty in walking, contusion of lower leg, medical device site joint pain, stress, swelling, scar, loss of taste, fall, Crohn's disease aggravated, pain in legs, nauseous, tenderness, allergy, nerve pain, pain in arm, and peripheral neuropathic pain with the suspect product was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment.  Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.; Sender's Comments: Assuming a plausible temporal association, a causative role of BNT162B2 vaccine for aggravation of Crohn's disease, pain in extremity, neuralgia, hypersensitivity, nausea, swelling, gait disturbance, mobility decreased, weight increased, arthropathy, dizziness, and arthralgia cannot be excluded. All other events are deemed to be intercurrent occurrences likely related to preexisting medical conditions and unrelated to BNT162B2.  The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to Regulatory Authorities, Ethics Committees and Investigators, as appropriate.
