Clinical narrative: pneumonia; loss of consciousness; difficulty in breathing; feeling weak; diarrhea; Arm fracture; Fall; This is a solicited report received from a contactable consumer (patient) based on the information received by Pfizer. (MFR Control No. # 21K-163-3955081-00).  A 60-year-old female patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), dose 1 intramuscular on 26Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: ER8730) as single dose for covid-19 immunisation; adalimumab (HUMIRA 40MG/0.4ML, Solution for injection in pre-filled pen), subcutaneous from 03Apr2020 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) to Mar2021, at Citrate Free (40 mg,1 in 2 wk), subcutaneous from Mar2021 (Batch/Lot number was not reported) and ongoing, at 40 mg for Ulcerative Colitis. Medical history included tobacco user: one pack of cigrette per day (Started 1978), abstains from alcohol.  Concomitant medications included tizanidine; carvedilol (COREG); pregabalin; atorvastatin calcium (LIPITOR) taken for an unspecified indication, start and stop date were not reported; apixaban (ELIQUIS).  The patient previously took hydrocodone.  The patient experienced loss of consciousness on May2021 with outcome of recovered on May2021, pneumonia on 05May2021 with outcome of recovered in 2021, feeling weak on 27Apr2021 with outcome of unknown, difficulty in breathing on 27Apr2021 with outcome of unknown, diarrhea on Mar2021 with outcome of recovered in 2021, arm fracture on 27Feb2021 with outcome of recovering, fall on 27Feb2021 with outcome of recovering. Clinical course: In 2021, the patient experienced chest tube had been drained and removed. On 27Feb2021, the patient experienced broken right arm in two different places and fell. In Mar2021, the patient experienced diarrhea. in May2021, the patient experienced loss of consciousness. on 05May 2021, the patient experienced pneumonia. in May 2021, the loss of consciousness resolved. in 2021, the pneumonia and diarrhea resolved. Covid-19 vaccine was also considered suspect. the patient shared that she fell in 27Feb2021 and broke her right arm so she went to the emergency room. Her x-ray revealed that she broke her arm in two different places. she was then asked to meet with an orthopedic surgeon and was scheduled for an out-patient procedure to repair her broken arm with pins and plates on the second week of Mar2021. she was sent home and was given hydrocodone for pain. she also added that the physician placed her humira on hold two weeks prior and after the procedure. because of humira was placed on hold, she experienced diarrhea for a week until it resolved. she received her first dose of her covid-19 vaccine in 26Apr2021. she noticed that she started feeling weak and had difficulty in breathing the next morning. she was rushed to the hospital in 05May2021 because her weakness and difficulty of breathing worsened. a series of unrecalled tests had been performed including chest x-ray which showed that she had pneumonia. she was then admitted and was hooked up to a machine because she had difficulty in breathing. she added that she could not recall any other treatments or diagnostic tests that was done to her because she was unconscious for three weeks and was monitored in the intensive care unit. she added that her chest tube had been drained and removed the day she got released in the hospital. she was sent home in 25May2021. alternative etiology of pneumonia, weakness, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing were reported as covid-19 vaccine.it was unknown if patient was enrolled in a covid-19 vaccine trial. The action taken in response to the events for bnt162b2 was not applicable, for adalimumab was unknown.    Causality for humira 40mg/0.4ml(adalimumab)-the reporter's causality for the event(s) of loss of consciousness, broken right arm in two different places, pneumonia, fell and diarrhea with humira 40mg/0.4ml(adalimumab) was no reasonable possibility. the reporter's causality for the event(s) of chest tube had been drained and removed was not provided. Programs opinion is that there is no reasonable possibility that the events of loss of consciousness, broken right arm in two different places, chest tube had been drained and removed, pneumonia, fell and diarrhea are related to humira 40mg/0.4ml(adalimumab).   COVID-19 VACCINE (COVID-19 VACCINE)(Injection) (COVID-19 VACCINE), Causality: Loss of consciousness-Causality as per reporter (Drug/Vaccine): Probable; Arm fracture-Causality as per reporter (Drug/Vaccine): Not Related; Pneumonia-Causality as per reporter (Drug/Vaccine): Probable; Fall-Causality as per reporter (Drug/Vaccine): Not Related; Diarrhea-Causality as per reporter (Drug/Vaccine): Not Related.  The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of the events (feeling weak, difficulty in breathing) with the suspect products was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment.  No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.; Sender's Comments: Based on the plausible temporal relation, the association between the events of loss of consciousness, pneumonia, asthenia and dyspnoea and the suspect product of BNT162B2 cannot be completely ruled out. The confounding factor for the event of pneumonia is the co-suspect drug Humira  Due to implausible temporal association, the events of diarrhoea, arm fracture and fall are assessed as unrelated to BNT162B2  The impact of this report on the benefit/risk profile of the Pfizer product is evaluated as part of Pfizer procedures for safety evaluation, including the review and analysis of aggregate data for adverse events. Any safety concern identified as part of this review, as well as any appropriate action in response, will be promptly notified to regulatory authorities, Ethics Committees, and Investigators, as appropriate.
