The patient was hospitalized for oral pain, swelling face (start date: 21Aug2021). In Mar2021 she had three teeth removed as an outpatient and it was healed. On 10Aug2021 she had tooth implant done then two days later her face got swollen so she went back to her dentist and the antibiotic was shifted. On 21Aug2021 she got hospitalized due to swollen face and pain. She was referred to a special physician, but the antibiotic was shifted again to a new one then she was finally got discharged last 23Aug2021 afternoon. She had to go to the emergency room this past weekend in Aug2021 because of an infection she got in her mouth after a surgical procedure. The infection got worse in her mouth, and she needed to get antibiotic intravenous at the emergency room. Her mouth was inflamed and had pus at infection site. She still had the vaginal fungal infection from time to time which she treated by drinking lots of water. She also experienced coughing and gastroesophageal reflux type of pain due to her oesophageal fungal infection. She used her inhaler if she felt any coughing. She also stated that back in Aug2021 she was hospitalized for three days because of the fungal infection on her mouth. She was given an unknown antibiotic at the hospital and was prescribed with unknown mouthwash. Since there was still a whole on her mouth where the dental implant was removed, sometimes food got in the whole and she felt pain and discomfort. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: colonoscopy: (2020) unknown result, notes: Esophageal fungal infection; computerised tomogram: (Aug2021) no abscess; computerised tomogram head: (Aug2021) no abscess; endoscopy: (2020) unknown result, notes: Esophageal fungal infection; full blood count: (Aug2021) unknown result; haematocrit: (Aug2021) elevated; haemoglobin: (Aug2021) elevated; mean cell haemoglobin concentration: (Aug2021) low; red blood cell count: (Aug2021) low; white blood cell count: (Aug2021) elevated; x-ray: (Aug2021) no abscess. The action taken for adalimumab was dosage not changed. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of candida infection, oral pain, swelling face, facial pain, oral candidiasis, hypoaesthesia oral, hypoaesthesia oral, hypoaesthesia, fungal oesophagitis, post procedural infection, dental implantation, oral surgery, tooth infection, mean cell haemoglobin concentration decreased, haematocrit increased, haemoglobin increased, salivary hypersecretion, oral mucosal erythema, vulvovaginal pruritus, vaginal discharge, mouth injury, stomatitis, inflammation, white blood cell count increased, postoperative abscess, herpes zoster, red blood cell count decreased, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, oral discomfort, oesophageal pain and included treatment with Nystatin, Ciprofloxacin, Clindamycin, Pulmicort Flexhaler, antibiotics and fluconazole.  The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the all the events with the bnt162b2 was not reported at the time of this report.  The reporter's causality for the events of oral surgery, oral candida, postoperative abscess was reported as no reasonable possibility to Humira 40mg/0.4ml (adalimumab) while not reported for the events dental implantation, wrong injection technique, mouth injury, sores mouth, esophageal pain, post procedural infection, discomfort in mouth and not assessable for remaining events.  The company (AbbVie) causality for the events of dental implantation, oral surgery, wrong injection technique, salivation, mouth injury was reported as no reasonable possibility to Humira 40mg/0.4ml (adalimumab) while reported as eeasonable possibility for the events swelling face, tooth infection, facial pain, oral candida, mean cell hemoglobin concentration low, hematocrit increased, hemoglobin increased, oral mucosal erythema, vaginal itching, vaginal discharge, sores mouth, cough, numbness lips, numbness facial, numbness mouth, inflammation localised, white blood cell count increased, esophageal pain, postoperative abscess, shingles, red blood cell count low, candida infection, post procedural infection, mouth pain, fungal esophagitis, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, discomfort in mouth.  No follow-up attempts are possible; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the Limited information in the case, a contributory effect of the vaccine BNT162B2 to the reported events cannot be established.
