Concomitant medications included allopurinol, clobetasol propionate/gentamicin sulfate/miconazole nitrate, colecalciferol, fluticasone propionate, paracetamol, blood glucose monitoring supplement MISC, and salbutamol used for unknown indication. On 22-JUL-2022, the patient experienced pneumonia [J18 9] weakness [R53 1] COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) exacerbation [J44 1] Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia [J96 01] COVID-19 [U07 1]. He had a dementia who presented after he was found on the floor by daughter. Evaluation in the emergency department revealed the patient was positive for COVID-19 and Chest x-ray was negative. Patient had mild hypoxia on ambulation down to 88 percent and was placed on 2 L of oxygen. He had elevated creatinine, CPK and sodium. He was started on IV fluids and was admitted to hospital on same day for further management. Patient was started on Decadron 6 mg daily. His oxygen was weaned of quickly and creatinine improved back to his baseline chronic kidney disease stage 3. He was evaluated by PT (Physiotherapist) and OT (Occupational therapist) who recommended discharge to subacute rehab. He had a 15 minute episode of tachycardia into the 150s to 160s that reverted back to normal sinus rhythm spontaneously.

He was discharged on 02-AUG-2022. Number of days of hospitalization was 11 days. Laboratory data included: Blood creatine phosphokinase increased, Blood creatinine increased, Blood sodium increased, Cardiac monitoring abnormal, Chest X-ray normal, and SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) test Positive. The action taken with covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s was not applicable. The patient recovered from acute respiratory failure, asthenia, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, blood creatinine increased, blood sodium increased, covid-19, cardiac monitoring abnormal, chest x-ray normal, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, condition aggravated, hypoxia, pneumonia, sars-cov-2 test positive, and tachycardia. This report was serious (Hospitalization Caused / Prolonged). This report was associated with product quality complaint: 90000247430. The suspected product quality complaint has been confirmed to be batch and lot tested and found within specifications, the reported allegation was not confirmed and the root cause was determined to be not manufacturing related based on the PQC evaluation/investigation performed.
