Clinical narrative: Heart attack/MI; Enlarged heart; Enlarged heart, liver, pancreas; Enlarged heart, liver, pancreas; Heart, liver, pancreas and kidney enzymes were elevated; Heart, liver, pancreas and kidney enzymes were elevated; Heart, liver, pancreas and kidney enzymes were elevated; Heart, liver, pancreas and kidney enzymes were elevated; Blood sugar was 347; Fingers and toes started hurting; Anaphylactic reaction; Head began to hurt; This spontaneous case was received on 16-Jul-2021 from Med Communications (reference number: SEQW21-01498), reported by other health professional (nurse) and concerned a 46-year-old, female patient.  The patient's concurrent conditions included egg and thimerosal allergy. The patient was not taking any concomitant medications.

On an unspecified day, two months later, no enlarged heart was noted.  On an unspecified day, the patient recovered from the event enlarged heart.  The outcome of the events of anaphylactic reaction, 'myocardial infarction', 'pain in extremity', 'blood sugar abnormal', 'heart enzymes elevated' 'elevated liver enzymes' , 'pancreas enzymes increased', 'renal function test abnormal', 'liver enlargement', 'pancreatic enlargement' and 'headache' was not reported.  The reporter assessed the event of anaphylactic reaction to be related to Afluria Quadrivalent. The reporter stated that she had an anaphylactic reaction the vaccine (as reported). The reporter did not provide causality for any other event.
