Patient had started peritoneal dialysis at home with me, his wife, 8 days before the second shot. All was going well. We got his second shot on the morig of March 18. His only reaction seemed to be soreness at injection site. At 11 pm we started dialysis as usual, with the cycler. At 12 pm he was having trouble breathing after just having been filled with 1500 ml of dialysate. This was the first time this happened. I gave hi nitro glycerine and had the cycler take out the 1500 ml of dialysate, and stopped the therapy for the night. He then felt better, and apologized for waking me up. In the morning he was dead. I believe it is possible that the vaccine tipped the balance of patients already taxed system. As I know that people who have serious diseases and are older are encouraged to take the vaccine, this outcome should be known to the CDC.

Patient was started on Augmentin and has taken it for about 5 days but said the cough is worse and productive of clear sputum. Patient in ER to get checked for pneumonia. Patient denies a fever or chills, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea vomiting and no headache or dizziness. Transferred to another facility h&pHistory of Present Illness: 94-year-old former smoker with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation not currently on anticoagulation, coronary artery disease, insulin-dependent diabetes, CKD 4, prostate cancer on surveillance, TAVR 2/17, with a son who is a doctor and a caregiver who is a Radiology NP by his report, who presents in transfer from previous Hospital due to a large right pleural effusion. He has had a cough for some time now, but thinks it may have worsened, at least per his caregiver, over the last 4-5 days. He was seen by his PCP on February 9th and placed on Augmentin, but nothing changed. He himself denies being short of breath, having any chest pain, fevers, chills, sweats, change in appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dysuria, diarrhea. Of note, on a chest x-ray in June he had bilateral pleural effusions, and on an MRI in July to investigate a renal mass, he was noted to have a small right-sided pleural effusion. On arrival to facility this morning, he was afebrile, normotensive, had a normal heart rate, sometimes mildly bradycardic, normal respiratory rate and saturations of 97% on room air. Labs demonstrated chronic anemia and thrombocytopenia, stable stage 4 kidney disease creatinine of 2.6, BUN 64, glucose 187. Chest x-ray demonstrated a moderate right pleural effusion, noting that underlying consolidation cannot be excluded. He was also felt to have bibasilar atelectasis. CT of the chest without contrast showed a large right pleural effusion with most of the right lower lobe being collapsed. Superimposed infection could not be excluded. He had a small left pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis and a small pericardial effusion as well. EKG and procalcitonin were not performed. He was sent to our facility for thoracentesis. On arrival here, vitals remained stable. His bedside RN informed me that upon returning from the bathroom, he appeared to be a bit dyspneic, but the patient himself denies any shortness of breath or ?huffing and puffing?. 2/25 admEd to hospital admission
