Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of ovarian vein thrombosis, abdominal pain, colitis microscopic, rheumatoid factor, anticoagulation drug level, dehydration, hypersensitivity. In summary, she had received the Pfizer COVID vaccine in Apr2021 and May2021. Soon after, she developed abdominal pain and found to have a left gonadal thrombosis on 03Mar2021. She was ultimately started on Eliquis. She had a hypercoagulation evaluation that was negative and has been working with COVID spe-cialists based in withheld who has started her on a protocol to help her ongoing symptoms of nau-sea, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. Since starting this protocol, she reports feeling better and now able to eat better with less nausea and vomiting. She reports ongoing intermittent abdominal pain and has now had multiple scans since Jun show-ing no acute pathology. Her abd MRI in Aug revealed resolution of her left gonadal vein thrombus. She reports no lower leg swelling and denies any chest pain, shortness of breath or cough. All other systems reviewed and are negative.  Polytypic mature B cells are show a normal kappa to lambda ratio of 1.9:1. Unremarkable T cells are 85.3% of lymphocytes (CD4:CD8 ratio 1.21:1). NK cells are 5.3% of lym-phocytes. Diagnostic immunophenotypic features of involvement by a non-Hodgkin B or T cell lym-phoma are not identified. The final diagnosis is based upon flow cytometric analysis of the speci-men. Microscopic slides are examined for correlation. Gross Description: A: A specimen labeled with the patient's name and "peripheral blood" per container is received in 1-7mL EDTA tube and I-10mL heparin tube on 16Aug2021. Submitted entirely for flow cytometry. (mr/flow). Final Diagnosis: A: Right colon, biopsy: Colonic mucosa with focal active colitis. B: Left colon, biopsy: Colonic mucosa with focal active colitis. Comment: Both biopsies demonstrate focal active colitis of minimal inflammatory intensity, This is a nonspe-cific finding that can be seen in several conditions including infection, drug-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury, and Crohn's disease despite the absence of granulomatous inflammation. No changes of ulcerative colitis are identified. There is no evidence of lymphocytic or collagenous coli-tis. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. Clinical Information: Abdominal pain.

No bowel obstruction or acute inflammatory process identified. 2. Suspicion of left gonadal vein thrombosis. Mixing artifact seems less likely given the homogeneous enhancement of other venous structures. 3. No free fluid or adenopathy. Assessment: Withheld has history of left gonadal vein thrombus that occurred in the context of getting the Pfizer COVID vaccine. We spent significant time reviewing the potential contribution of the vaccine to her recent blood clot but that this is not clear and difficult to prove. The clot certainly occurred within a period of weeks after her second vaccine. I discussed my limited expertise in COVID com-plications and defer any discussion about the association of her ongoing symptoms to the COVID vaccine. Given the spotty data about the association of blood clots with the vaccine could warrant a more prolonged period of anticoagulation. We discussed the risk of bleeding and very low risk of spontaneous bleeding on Eliquis which could be life threatening but very rare outside of an accident or trauma. With that in mind, I expressed my support to continue Eliquis for an extended period of time, maybe up to a year while she continues to sort out onoging symptoms post COVID vaccine.  Plan: continued follow up with her "COVID' providers; continue Eliquis 5mg BID for now, likely plan for a year but will continue to discuss the risks/benefits of continued anticoagulation.
