Clinical narrative: Date of Admission  01/04/2022   Date of Discharge  01/06/2022   Reason for Hospitalization   Pt mother reports "my daughter needs seen in ER for labs and COVID testing". pt reports nausea and vomiitng but no fevers.  Hospital Course   Patient is a 18-year-old female with Hb SS s/p bone marrow transplant in august 2020 who presented to the ED on 1/4 for concerns of upper respiratory symptoms, backslash leg pain and hypoxia requiring oxygen support and got admitted to the inpatient peds heme-onc team with Covid pneumonia.  Initial labs were done in the ER patient was admitted on maintenance IV fluids for hydration and home medications.  On admission infectious disease was consulted and recommended starting remdesivir 200 mg on day 1 and 100 mg starting day 2.  Patient was also started on IV dexamethasone to help with the inflammation of the lungs.  She was also started on Lovenox (therapeutic dosing) based on prior history of stroke and increased susceptibility to blood clots with COVID-19 infection.  Patient developed fever shortly after admission and so Rocephin was started q24hrs while monitoring the blood cultures.  Based on the history it was noted that the patient had a new rash with started along with the symptoms about 10 days prior to admission so dermatology was consulted based on concerns of graft-versus-host events as patient has an immunocompromise state which was ruled out and Vaseline bid was recommended for irritant dermatitis and intertrigo.  Yesterday 1/5 patient underwent echocardiography to rule out any myocarditis which was within normal limits.  Repeat labs of CBC and CMP were unremarkable and ESR CRP were markedly elevated likely due to the Covid infection.  Patient was noted to have been requiring some low flow oxygen intermittently during nighttime when she is in deep sleep but did well during the day.  Yesterday there was improvement in her oral intake with good urine output and bowel movement.  No fevers reported in the last 24 hours and this morning patient was examined bedside and was noted to be well-appearing.  She did not require any low flow overnight and sats were maintained above 95%.  Patient has a follow-up with dermatology in 3 weeks for the rash.  Blood cultures so far have been negative with no growth. Third dose of remdesivir, ceftriaxone and dexamethasone were given today and ID recommended no further need for remdesivir and was comfortable with how pt did in the hospital. Family is comfortable going home and strong return precautions were provided prior to discharge with script for lab work to be done in 1 week.  Discharge Diagnoses      1.

Code Status Description: Full Code      Attestation by MD, on January 06, 2022 14:25 I personally saw and evaluated the patient on the result date found in the header of this document.  I independently performed the critical/key portions of the Evaluation and Management service and discussed the management with the author of this document.  I agree with everything documented above with the following exceptions/additions:  Patient is an 18 yo female with Hgb SS disease now ~15 months s/p allogeneic stem cell transplant at a HCF.  She was admitted on 1/4 for Covid-19 pneumonia with hypoxia.  She received remdesivir and dexamethasone x 3, as well as Rocephin due to fevers on hospital day 1.  Blood cultures remain NGTD.  She was able to tolerate RA prior to discharge, both while awake and sleeping.  Pain in her legs and chest has resolved.  She notes a small amount of continued pain in her upper back; however, has significantly improved and is manageable at home.  PO intake has normalized. No additional VTE prophylaxis necessary at this time.  Will call if fever, chest pain, or shortness of breath recur.  Will obtain CBC, reticulocyte count, and CMP locally on 1/10 as Hgb has decreased to 8.7 g/dL this AM. Results to be faxed to the HCF who will also coordinate follow-up as necessary in their clinic.  Dermatology to follow-up as outpatient for evaluation and management of irritant dermatitis and intertrigo.  Dermatitis not felt to be due to GVHD.  Mother at bedside at time of discharge who acknowledges understanding and agreement with plan. Diagnosis:  1. Covid-19 Pneumonia  2. Hgb SS disease  3. History of allogeneic stem cell transplant  4. Functional asplenia  5. Acute pain, resolved  6. Fever due to #1, resolved  7. Hypoxia due to #1, resolved  8. At risk for thrombosis due to #1 and #3, improved  9. Moderate anemia  10. Dermatitis  11. Mild leukocytosis with neutrophilia due to steroids
