The patient received covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s (suspension for injection, route of admin, and batch number were not reported) dose was not reported, 1 total, administered on 29-DEC-2021 for an unspecified indication. Age at time of vaccination 57 years old. The batch number was not reported. The Company is unable to perform follow-up to request batch/lot numbers. No concomitant medications were reported.  On 26-JUL-2022, the patient experienced suspected small bowel obstruction. On presentation to hospital patient was found to be covid-19 positive (covid-19 infection without hypoxia). The internal medicine team was consulted in the care of patient for his continued abdominal complaints despite treatment complicated by his covid-19 positive status. Patient was hospitalized on an unspecified date for 6 days. Patient attempted to consume a full liquid diet but did not tolerate. Patient had significant abdominal pain overnight requiring Dilaudid. Patient experienced a lot of abdominal cramping and discomfort. The pain was primarily in the lower quadrants of the abdomen and any pressure in the lower quadrants made the pain worse. The Dilaudid helped the and patient was able to sleep overnight with the pain medication. No stool was been passed recently at time of report. It was reported that some gas was passed but was minimal. Patient did not have any episodes of emesis. Patient denied fever, chills, palpitations, chest pain, lower extremity edema, dyspnea, cough, sputum production, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, dysuria or hematuria and headache or dizziness. Abdominal pain was reported.  Patient appeared older than stated age, acutely and chronically ill and was in no acute distress at the time of report. Cardiovascular examination showed: Regular rate and rhythm without murmur gallop or rub. No edema present in the lower extremities. Radial pulses intact 2 plus bilaterally. Respiratory examination showed: Lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally no wheezing no rhonchi no rales. No accessory muscle uses no respiratory distress. Patient was currently on room air. Gastrointestinal examination showed: The patient refused an abdominal examination. Abdomen appeared distended. Psychiatric examination: Patient responded appropriately to questions and displayed flat affect. His responses were short and appeared to have good judgment. It was reported that the patient experienced hepatic cancer, hepatic cirrhosis, siderotic hepatic nodule hepatitis c, thrombocytopenia, hyperbilirubinaemia, intestinal ischaemia, ascites, sepsis, small intestinal obstruction, bradycardia, peritonitis bacterial, gastrointestinal oedema, nephrolithiasis, drug abuse, abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, alcohol abuse, anticoagulant therapy, arteriosclerosis, auscultation, blood pressure increased, covid-19 (sars-cov-2 test was positive), cholelithiasis, constipation, coronary artery disease, essential hypertension, flatulence, gynaecomastia, hepatic mass, hyponatraemia, hypophagia, infusion, liver disorder, malnutrition, normocytic anaemia, osteoarthritis, pain, pleural effusion, splenomegaly, substance use, tobacco abuse, varices oesophageal, vomiting and nausea.
