In May 2022, the patient experienced PNEUMONIA (Diagnosed with Pneumonia/ she is still having breathing difficulty due to the pneumonia). The patient was treated with CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE (ZYRTEC [CETIRIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE]) in August 2021 for Itching, Welts and Hives, at a dose of Zyrtec in the morning and HYDROXYZINE in August 2021 for Itching, Welts and Hives, at a dose of Hydroxyzine at night. At the time of the report, PNEUMONIA (Diagnosed with Pneumonia/ she is still having breathing difficulty due to the pneumonia), RASH (Rash) and URTICARIA (Body "went bananas"/ hives and welts all over her body) had resolved with sequelae, MECHANICAL URTICARIA (Diagnosed her with autoimmune dermographia/ Intense itching that started in her scalp/ hair was super itchy/ itching then started occurring in the rest of her body including back, legs, and arms) and HYPERSENSITIVITY (Felt like I was allergic to my own sweat /she has become allergic to absolutely / allergic to absolutely everything/ She usually does not get sick but now is reacting to everything) had not resolved, ALOPECIA (Started to lose her hair) and VACCINATION FAILURE (Had COVID after receiving the vaccine/ had a very mild case of COVID) outcome was unknown and COVID-19 (Had COVID after receiving the vaccine/ had a very mild case of COVID) had resolved.      DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On 29-Dec-2021, SARS-CoV-2 test: positive (Positive) Positive.    Patient was not on any concomitant medications. The patient had no medical history related to AE and both acute and chronic illnesses at the time of vaccination.  The patient stated that prior to receiving the vaccine, she was an extremely active and healthy person, often a boring and did not have any health related issues. She then started to lose her hair for 5-6 months before she saw a doctor for her symptoms. The itching then started occurring in the rest of her body including back, legs, and arms. She was seen by a dermatologist who diagnosed her with autoimmune dermographia and Pneumonia for which she was put on Azithromycin. She stated that she still had breathing difficulty due to the pneumonia. She was put on a 5 day course of antibiotics. However, on day 3 of taking the Azithromycin, her body went bananas. The patient started getting hives and welts all over her body. The patient had to stop taking the antibiotic and was put on steroid to stop the reactions. The patient did not have any allergies or was on any medications prior to this. The patient has been on Zyrtec and Hydroxyzine for the last 9 months, which helped to keep the itching away. The patient says that if she does not take her medications, the itching comes right back. The patient was very frustrated because of what has happened after receiving the Moderna vaccine and it seemed to have allergies to absolutely everything. The patient felt like the vaccine has changed her DNA makeup and that is the reason for these reactions. The patient had urgent care for rash. Patient stated that she had a very mild case of COVID and quarantined herself for 4 days. Patient took Zyrtec in the morning and Hydroxyzine at night. Patient stated that it keeps the itching, welts, and hives at bay. Steroid for rash due to Azithromycin.
