She has a past medical history of rheumatoid arthritis on methotrexate and monthly Orencia infusions, HTN, obesity.   Patient resides at facility was admitted for severe COVID-19 Pneumonia leading to acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia.  Patient was vaccinated x2 boosted x1. CXR showing abnormal parenchymal opacification of the left lung base as can be seen with pneumonitis. She was placed on supplemental oxygen and Decadron and improved back to room air by time of discharge. She further was also found to have urinary tract infection, blood and urine culture grew E coli susceptible to ceftriaxone.  She completed 7 days of IV antibiotics in hospital.  Patient also was noted to have new onset AFIB.  She was started on eliquis for anticoagulation and metoprolol for rate control.  TTE was essentially normal.     Patient should f/u with her PCP to insure continued resolution of symptoms as well as to monitor BP and possibly restart HCTZ if BP allows (held given metoprolol was started).  Patient will need to review timing of Orencia with her Rheumatologist.
