This 62-year-old female patient received PREVNAR 13, intramuscular at 0.5 ml, single in the right arm on 22Feb2017 10:00 for immunisation. Medical history included ongoing blood pressure high (Start date: maybe 5 years ago), ongoing severe generative arthritis of neck and back (Start date: in her 30's), ongoing high cholesterol (Start date: Maybe 5 years ago), ongoing acid reflux (Start date: 10 plus years ago), diabetes (Start date: About 3 years ago), ongoing ulcer (Start date: About 10 years ago), multiple bilateral pulmonary emboli (from 2012, cervical fusions of C4 in 1998, cervical fusions of C5 in 2007, right total knee replacement in 2014.

The patient previously took pneumococcal vaccine at least 10 years ago for immunization. The patient experienced diarrhea (hospitalization) on 25Feb2017 01:00 with outcome of recovering, stomach cramps (hospitalization) on 25Feb2017 01:00 with outcome of recovering, nausea (hospitalization) on 25Feb2017 01:00 with outcome of recovering, injection hurt like heck when it was administered on 22Feb2017 10:00 with outcome of recovered, arm was still sore on 22Feb2017 10:00 with outcome of recovering, slight fever: it was like 99 degrees Fahrenheit on 25Feb2017 with outcome of recovering, very tired, at least she could get out of bed on 25Feb2017 with outcome of recovering. She was released from the hospital on 25Feb2017. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included: Computerised tomogram (Cat scan) on 25Feb2017: negative. It might have been a stomach flu or gastritis. Multiple lab work on 25Feb2017: Pretty much negative. If a lab result was not negative, it was only borderline which was not usual because she was probably dehydrated from what happened. On an unspecified date, the highest degree was 101.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Right (on an unspecified date) it was 99.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea included Hyoscyamine and Ondansetone. The events were described as follows: She had diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. She ended up in the hospital. She received the vaccine at 10:00 22Feb2017. She went out to eat with a friend and ate the same food as her friend. They both had nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and a possible stomach flu. These experiences had subsided to a degree, but had not completely gone away. The caller's experiences were worse than her friend's. Her friend did not have to go to a doctor about her symptoms. Her friend did not receive PREVNAR 13. Her symptoms started at 0100 22Feb2017. By 0500 22Feb2017, she could not move because of the stomach cramps.  She may have passed out. She was uncertain. She was picked up. She ended up in the hospital.
