Provider discharge note below:  "62 YO male with a past medical history of renal transplant, DM2, HTN who presented for shortness of breath, he had previously tested positive for COVID-19 on 1/13/2022. He was on chronic immunosuppression for his renal transplant, cellcept was held during admission and he continued steroids and tacrolimus. He was hypoxic and admitted to the hospital floor for supplemental oxygen and antibiotics for suspected superimposed bacterial pneumonia. Despite maximal non-invasive efforts his respiratory status worsened to the point where he required intubation on 1/28/22. His oxygen saturations did not improve despite intubation, paralytics and prone positioning and he became hemodynamically unstable requiring pressors. Multiple discussions with family were to continue care despite his inability to achieve adequate oxygenation. In the early morning of 2/1/22 he had an acute drop in his oxygen into the 30s with increased pressor need. His family was contacted, they requested to withdrawal pressure support and were at his bedside when he expired."

Initial report was received from scientific literature on 25 January 2014. The following is verbatim from the article: A 74 year old non-smoker male with history of asthma and allergic rhinitis presented with a 3-week history of malaise, low grade fever, nonproductive cough and shortness of breath. He denied recent travel, sick contacts, pet exposure, and inhalation of chemicals, tobacco, or starting new medications. he had received his yearly influenza vaccine a week before the onset of his symptoms. On exam, the patient was in no distress. Pulse oximetry measured 95% on room air. Auscultation revealed fine crepitation in lung bases bilaterally. Laboratory exam was remarkable for leukocytosis (30.6 k/uL) with 71% eosinophil. Chest radiography showed slight atelectasis and effusion at the right lung base, and high-resolution chest computed tomography demonstrated bilateral lower lobe airspace disease with ground glass opacities and septal thickening, compatible with eosinophilia pneumonia. Further testing showed increased IgE (918 IU/mL) but testing for Aspergillus-specific IgE was negative, as were p-ANCA, and c-ANCA. Sputum culture was negative. The patient was started on treatment with oral prednisone, with remarkable improvement of respiratory symptoms, radiographic appearance and resolution of peripheral eosinophilia. A spirogram, done 2 weeks after the initiation of steroids, was normal. A 74-year-old male patient (date of birth not reported) had received Influenza vaccine, (batch number unknown, route and anatomical site of administration not reported) on an unspecified date. The patient presented with symptoms of malaise, low grade fever, nonproductive cough and shortness of breath. One week after the vaccination, the patient was diagnosed with eosinophilic pneumonia. Laboratory exam was remarkable for leukocytosis (30.6 k/uL) with 71% eosinophil. High-resolution chest computed tomography demonstrated bilateral lower lobe airspace disease with ground glass opacities and septal thickening, compatible with eosinophilia pneumonia. The patient had increased IgE (918 IU/mL) but negative Aspergillus-specific IgE. The patient was treated with Oral Prednisone. The patient was recovered from the event along with associated symptoms. Documents held by sender: none.
