Clinical narrative: Narrative: COVID infection following COVID vaccine series 01/11, Pfizer, dose #1 02/03, Pfizer, dose #2 08/31 pt cc: cough, fatigue, headache, rhinorrhea, congestion, exposure: unknown 09/01 COVID-19 ANTIGEN BINAX results: detected 09/01 CXR impression: No acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. Remainder of findings as above. 09/11 CXR impression: Lungs: There are interstitial and airspace opacities within the peripheral left mid and lower lung and more subtle opacities at the right medial lung base. Findings are suspicious for an infectious/inflammatory process, including atypical such as COVID-19 pneumonia. Pleura: No visible pleural effusion. No pneumothorax. Mediastinum: Heart size is within normal limits. There are aortic calcifications. There is a left chest dual-lead cardiac pacemaker. There is a right chest port with the tip over the SVC. 09/11 CTA impression: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism. Note that small segmental and subsegmental pulmonary emboli cannot be excluded due to breathing motion artifact. 2. Bilateral groundglass opacities and alveolar opacities, with a peripheral predominance compatible with multifocal pneumonia. Pattern consistent with reported COVID-19 3. A 8 mm subpleural nodule in the superior segment of the left lower lobe, similar in appearance to prior exams. July 30, 2021 PET/CT reports similar to exams dating back to at least March 2019. Suggest close attention on follow-up imaging given history of malignancy. 09/11 COVID swab, result: detected 09/11 FERRITIN >37840 09/11 SARS-COV-2 TOTAL AB, SPIKE <0.4 09/11 BNP 59.9 09/11 pt admit to medicine cc: dyspnea dx: acute hypoxemic respiratory failure d/t COVID PNA LOS: 18 DAYS 09/11 lactic acid 1.15 09/12 FIBRINOGEN 804 09/12 DDIMER 1.01 09/12 SARS-COV-2 Variant Sequencing result: pending 09/12 SARS-COV-2 IGG Eval: 0.01 09/12 i-pH 7.43, i-PCO2 31.5, i-P02 63, i-HCO3 21.0 09/12 ESR 40 09/13 FIBRINOGEN 491 09/13 DDIMER 0.66 09/13 ESR 13 09/16 i-pH 7.47, i-PCO2 33.4, i-P02 67, i-HCO3 24.6 09//16 CXR impression: Increased opacities in the left lung compared to the prior exam.
