About 12 hours later, it had grown to a large lump about 3.5 cm long and 1 cm wide, extending down and to the left of  my face. This was very painful. It led to significant swelling in the periorbital area. The swelling and pain continued through the next day. On the third day, I went to urgent care where I was diagnosed with cellulitis and put on 2 antibiotics (Augmentin and Clindamycin). The swelling and pain continued to get worse. On the 4th day, I went to ophthamology where I was referred to the emergency department. On the morning of the 5th day, I was finally seen in the ER. A CT scan and bloodwork were done. The CT scan showed no signs of an abscess and bloodwork was all normal. I was given doxycycline and stopped the clindamycin due to GI effects. I continued the Augmentin. On the 6th day, the swelling and pain were slightly less. I saw my PCP who referred me to infectious disease. I had a telehealth appointment on the 7th day with the ID specialist who encouraged me to submit a VAERS reports. Diagnosis is still listed as cellulitis. Today is the 8th day. The swelling and pain are significantly less pronounced, but the lump is still the same size and shape.

Symptoms: Biopsy bone marrow, Electrocardiogram ST segment abnormal, Electrocardiogram T wave abnormal, Electrocardiogram abnormal, Haematocrit decreased
Clinical narrative: Patient went to the hospital Monday.  He received the Janssen single-dose Covid vaccine on Thursday, April 8 and by Saturday, April 10 he was starting to develop fairly significant peripheral edema without any breathing  difficulties.  This  persisted and was worse by Monday, April 13  EKG showed global nonspecific T-wave abnormalities and ST segment changes so I had him sent to the ER. As it turned out he had a pancytopenia (mostly neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) so he was admitted to the hospital. This seemed to resolve pretty much on its own and so they attributed everything to his hepatitis C. Indeed his LFTs are elevated in the 300 range and imaging showed  hepatosplenomegaly.  they also did a bone marrow biopsy for which there are no results yet
