Clinical narrative: The patient was here for her 4th dose of Moderna. The patient stated she was immunocompromised.

I was in a meeting on-site still but no one asked me for what the appropriate dose was. The incorrect dose was given to the patient, but she was aware that she received a full dose.

Clinical narrative: Due to prior diffuse cutaneous eruption with last Moderna vaccine, pretreatment with double dosage of Zyrtec (20 mg) was instituted several hours beforehand.  When the Zyrtec wore off the next day (2/17) around 3:30 pm,  sensations of tingling and numbness began in the mouth and throat.  I immediately took another double dose of Zyrtec (20 mg) and the sensations subsided within an hour.  Another Zyrtec 10 mg was taken around 6 am on 2/18.  Around 5:30 pm, sensations arose again only more intense.  They progressed to numbness, tingling, and the feeling of swelling in the lips, soft palate and gums, tongue, the back of the mouth, and the throat down to the level of the sternum.  No visual evidence of swelling or auditory wheezing was noted, but the voice started sounding rasping.  I once again took a double dose of Zyrtec (20 mg) and symptoms started to improve in 1 hour.  The odd tingling of the lips, throat, and tongue persisted, and I chose to monitor them closely rather than proceed to prednisone, benadryl, or epinephrine just yet.  We will continue with strong antihistamines at this point, but further vaccines are not warranted.   A virtual tele-visit was initiated with my primary care provider, Dr.  We can update with further information, when available.

Clinical narrative: 10/1/21, I received my Covid Booster. I had a headache with chills, body aches and fatigue, just as I had for the first two covid vaccines, which lasted two days. Following the booster a lymph node in my armpit grew to the size of a baseball and lasted a week. On Christmas Eve, I didn?t feel good, so I covid tested and was negative. I had chills, a fever and loss of appetite. From 12/26-1/12 I had 6 sets of fever/chills a day with fevers in the 102-103 degree range. Assuming it was covid, I took 2 more at home COVID tests every couple days, which were negative.12/29 I went to my pcp for a pcr covid test. It was negative. 12/31 I went to Facility to see if maybe I had a UTI. Nothing ever hurt. I was diagnosed with a kidney infection and they took a single blood culture. I was given a shot of antibiotics and a prescription of antibiotics.On the second, hospital, related to Facility, called regarding my blood culture and directed me to the ER. They believed I had a staph infection or sepsis in my blood. They did a sonogram of my kidneys, liver and gallbladder. They admitted me.Once admitted, I had several CT scans, an MRI, all sorts of blood tests to find a unicorn of a virus or bacteria in my blood, a spinal tap and finally a bone marrow biopsy. The worst of all being the covid testing. All the while my miserable fevers/chills continued. It turned out I may never have had a kidney infection and the blood infection was likely a contaminate. Dr., a hematology oncologist diagnosed me with a very rare disease called HLH from markers in my blood, results of the bone marrow biopsy and my enlarged liver and spleen. It was not suspected to be the genetic variety. She and her local colleagues have only seen 3 cases of HLH. I was started on steroids and my fevers stopped. On 1/13 a bed became available at Hospital and I was transferred by non-emergent ambulance. Hospital continued with testing. I had a full body PET scan with contrast to try to find the source of my infection or HLH.They biopsied some skin that got a rash and is itchy and surgically removed lymph nodes in my groin in hopes of finding the cancer they suspect is causing the HLH. Without a source of the HLH they cannot cure me or target my treatment. Nothing showed up on any of the tests or biopsies. Next they biopsied my liver and did another bone marrow biopsy, but again the tests did not provide any cause for the HLH. I was discharged 1/31 with medication to treat the HLH. I developed a seroma where the lymph nodes were removed. On 2/13 I was back at Hospital with a fever of 101 and pain in my leg/groin area. They removed the fluid from the seroma and found staph infection. The results of my covid antibodies test showed I had a high number, so my doctor feared I may have active covid. My home covid test was negative, but I am awaiting the results of the pcr test. I continue to believe the cause of my HLH to be the covid booster.

The worst of all being the covid testing. All the while my miserable fevers/chills continued. It turned out I may never have had a kidney infection and the blood infection was likely a contaminate. Dr., a hematology oncologist diagnosed me with a very rare disease called HLH from markers in my blood, results of the bone marrow biopsy and my enlarged liver and spleen. It was not suspected to be the genetic variety. She and her local colleagues have only seen 3 cases of HLH. I was started on steroids and my fevers stopped. On 1/13 a bed became available at Hospital and I was transferred by non-emergent ambulance. Hospital continued with testing. I had a full body PET scan with contrast to try to find the source of my infection or HLH.They biopsied some skin that got a rash and is itchy and surgically removed lymph nodes in my groin in hopes of finding the cancer they suspect is causing the HLH. Without a source of the HLH they cannot cure me or target my treatment. Nothing showed up on any of the tests or biopsies. Next they biopsied my liver and did another bone marrow biopsy, but again the tests did not provide any cause for the HLH. I was discharged 1/31 with medication to treat the HLH. I developed a seroma where the lymph nodes were removed. On 2/13 I was back at Hospital with a fever of 101 and pain in my leg/groin area. They removed the fluid from the seroma and found staph infection. The results of my covid antibodies test showed I had a high number, so my doctor feared I may have active covid. My home covid test was negative, but I am awaiting the results of the pcr test. I continue to believe the cause of my HLH to be the covid booster.

Clinical narrative: 10/1/21, I received my Covid Booster. I had a headache with chills, body aches and fatigue, just as I had for the first two covid vaccines, which lasted two days. Following the booster a lymph node in my armpit grew to the size of a baseball and lasted a week. On Christmas Eve, I didn?t feel good, so I covid tested and was negative. I had chills, a fever and loss of appetite. From 12/26-1/12 I had 6 sets of fever/chills a day with fevers in the 102-103 degree range. Assuming it was covid, I took 2 more at home COVID tests every couple days, which were negative.12/29 I went to my pcp for a pcr covid test. It was negative. 12/31 I went to Facility to see if maybe I had a UTI. Nothing ever hurt. I was diagnosed with a kidney infection and they took a single blood culture. I was given a shot of antibiotics and a prescription of antibiotics.On the second, hospital, related to Facility, called regarding my blood culture and directed me to the ER. They believed I had a staph infection or sepsis in my blood. They did a sonogram of my kidneys, liver and gallbladder. They admitted me.Once admitted, I had several CT scans, an MRI, all sorts of blood tests to find a unicorn of a virus or bacteria in my blood, a spinal tap and finally a bone marrow biopsy.

Symptoms: Chills, Disturbance in attention, Dysphagia, Eye irritation, Eye swelling
Clinical narrative: Overnight I was awakened by chills and body sweats breaking into a102.3 fever. In the morning I woke up to an intense headache, body pains and stronger chills. I was bed ridden for two days before I had the strength to actually get up and walk to the kitchen. I would try to eat or drink but it made my nausea and headache stronger. The headache lasted a week and I was unable to focus on completing any schoolwork. Two weeks later, I started with a sore throat, mild fever, and headache, but was written off as just a cold. Three days later, my left eye grew sensitive to light. It became more red and more swollen throughout the day. I went to the school doctor who wrote it off as a side effect of catching a cold and was instructed to avoid contact with anyone until the redness faded. Over the next week , my sore throat got worse to the point where I couldn't speak and hardly swallow.  The infection spread to my other eye, both eyes were now swollen, extremely irritated. It took about four days to see any improvement. Before the vaccine, I didn't have any health problems, I had years without experiencing any cold or flu symptoms despite being around other sick students around campus.
