The batch number reported was FM7553.  On 30-Jun-2022, the patient underwent a Covid 19 test, and the result was negative.  On 28-Jul-2022, the patient measured his blood pressure, however the results were not provided, pulse was 70 {DF}, saturation was 93 %, physical examination showed palpable umbilical hernia, respiration rate was 16, and Covid 19 test was negative.  On 10-Aug-2022, the patient underwent a Covid 19 test, and the result was negative.  On 16-Aug-2022, the patient underwent a Covid 19 test, and the result was negative.

On 14-Sep-2022, the patient's lab results revealed: anion gap (AGAP) was 8.2 {DF} (normal range: 10 to 20), osmolarity (OSMO) was 274, blood pressure results were not provided, body temperature was 36.8 {DF}, blood CO2 was 32.8 {DF} (normal Range: 20 to 31), C reactive protein was 1.1 {DF} (normal high: 1) eosinophil was 0.63x10(3)/uL, pulse was 78 {DF}, lymphocyte was 4.50 (normal range: 0.77 to 2.96), monocyte was 1.29 {DF}, saturation was 94 %, physical examination showed abdominal tenderness, red cell distribution width (RDW) was 49.8 {DF} (normal range: 35.3 to 46.9), respiration rate was 17, Covid 19 test was negative, and white blood count (WBC) was 14.31 {DF}.  At the time of initial reporting, the patient had not recovered from the events of nipple swelling and intermittent fever.  The outcome of pelvic pain was not reported, and the outcome of all other events was unknown.  The reporter did not provide a causality assessment.   All events were considered as serious due to the seriousness criterion of hospitalization. Additionally, the events of sepsis, heart attack, hemorrhage, 'unable to urinate' and 'kidney dysfunction', testicular pain, testicular swelling and gynaecomastia were considered to be medically significant by a Physician within Seqirus's Pharmacovigilance and Risk Management Department.  This case is linked to the case 202303679 (the same patient).  Company comment: A 57-year-old, male patient was vaccinated with the suspect product Flucelvax Quadrivalent. Ten months after vaccination the patient experienced anion gap decreased, carbon dioxide increased, oxygen saturation decreased, abdominal tenderness, abdominal pain, red cell distribution width increased, red cell distribution width increased and C-reactive protein increased, pelvic pain, urinary retention and dysuria. An unspecified time after vaccination the patient experienced sepsis, acute bronchitis, heart attack, discharging blood, sore throat, arthritis, irregular heartbeats, hepatic steatosis, diarrhoea, hernia, vaccination site erythema, congestion, bladder disorder, tumour, peripheral swelling, dizziness, renal impairment, generalised oedema, fall, testicular pain, testicular swelling, gait inability, feeling abnormal, general body pain, back pain, bone pain, constipation and feeding disorder. Causality is confounded by patient's concurrent conditions cancer, HIV positive (in Jun-1979 with last 35 years at time of reporting), spinal stenosis, neurovascular conflict, multiple sclerosis and pain. Causality for the events anion gap decreased, carbon dioxide increased, oxygen saturation decreased, red cell distribution width increased, pelvic pain, urinary retention, dysuria, sepsis, heart attack, discharging blood, irregular heartbeats, hepatic steatosis, hernia, bladder disorder, tumour, renal impairment, generalised oedema, gynaecomastia, fall, constipation, testicular pain and testicular swelling is assessed as not related due to biological implausibility. Causality for the events pyrexia, abdominal tenderness, red cell distribution width increased C-reactive protein increased is assessed as not related based on chronological implausibility. Causality for the events acute bronchitis, sore throat, arthritis, diarrhoea, dizziness, vaccination site erythema, congestion, feeling abnormal, general body pain, gait inability, abdominal pain, back pain, bone pain and feeding disorder is unassessable due to unclear temporal relationship.; Sender's Comments: A 57-year-old, male patient was vaccinated with the suspect product Flucelvax Quadrivalent.
