COVID-19 Pneumonia (vaccinated J&J) Patient has a 67 day history of rhinorrhea, congestion, dry cough, headaches, fever, dyspnea on exertion, body aches, diarrhea, and loss of smell.  Patient tested positive for COVID-19 on 12/16 and has been managing her symptoms with supportive care.  Patient was hypoxic and tachycardic upon arrival to the emergency department.  Chest x-ray in the emergency department demonstrated bilateral pulmonary infiltrates consistent with COVID 19 pneumonia.  Patient was given 1 dose of Decadron in the emergency department.     Plan - Decadron 6 mg day 1/10 - Remdesivir day 1/5 - Daily CMPs to assess liver enzyme while patient is on remdesivir - CRP and D-dimer.  If D-dimer is elevated, consider CTA of thorax to rule out pulmonary embolism.   Code: Full Code Diet: Normal Adult Diet DVT prophylaxis: Lovenox SubQ  Disposition: Admit to Internal Medicine Residency team      Subjective     HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: a 38 y.o. female with no pertinent past medical history who presents to emergency department due to a 6-7 day history of rhinorrhea, congestion, dry cough, headache, fevers, dyspnea on exertion, body aches, diarrhea, and loss of smell.  Patient states that she 1st began feeling symptoms around 12/15 and then went and got tested for COVID-19 on 12/16 due to patient having close contact with sick contact.  Patient's COVID-19 test was positive by PCR.  Patient states she had a progressive worsening of symptoms over the last week, and decided to come to the emergency room on 12/21 due to difficulty breathing.   Upon presentation to the emergency room, patient was found to be hypoxic with SpO2 of 85% on room air.  She was subsequently placed on 2 L nasal cannula with maintenance of SpO2 above 92%.  Patient was also tachycardic with heart rate at 107 upon presentation.  Her last recorded heart rate was still tachycardic at 100.  Routine labs in the emergency department demonstrated elevated liver enzymes with AST of 149 and ALT of 96.  Chest x-ray obtained in the emergency department demonstrated bilateral pulmonary infiltrates compatible with COVID-19 pneumonia.  Patient was given Decadron 6 mg in the emergency department.  She was subsequently admitted to the internal medicine residency team for management of her acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia.    Of note, patient denies risk factors for DVT including history of blood clots, family history of blood clots, history of cancer, recent immobilization, OCP use, and tobacco use.
