Vaccine: HEP
Symptoms: Atrophy, Brachial plexopathy, Cervical radiculopathy, Hypoaesthesia, Hyporeflexia
Clinical narrative: This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of Parsonage-Turner syndrome in a 52-year-old male subject who was vaccinated with ENGERIX B adult (GlaxoSmithKline). The subject's medical history included hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Concurrent medical conditions included foraminal stenosis {spine} and neck pain. On an unspecified date the subject received 2nd dose of ENGERIX B adult (unknown route, site of injection and batch number). Less than one week after vaccination with ENGERIX B adult, the neck pain of the subject acutely worsened. He described an aching pain in the left neck that radiates down his left posterior arm as well as "numbness" of his left thumb. The subject was treated with Corticosteroid, Antiinflammatory, Antispasmodic and Acetaminophen with minor effects on symptoms. Nine days after vaccination with ENGERIX B adult and during a physical exam the subject had mildly decreased reflexes in the left arm as well as a strongly positive Spurling's test on the left. For approximately 2.5 months, the subject was treated for symptoms consistent with cervical radiculopathy, ultimately receiving a series of 3 cervical, translaminar epidural steroid injections with moderate relief following each injection. During the course of his treatment it was noted that the numbness in his thumb was not improving and the subject began to develop severe atrophy of his upper arm and shoulder muscles with resultant weakness. Ultimately, the diagnosis of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome was made secondary to vaccination exposure. Although the subject had imaging consistent with his symptoms, the development of atrophy, myopathy and paresthesia are atypical of a cervical radiculitis. The subject's initial symptoms were however consistent with his imaging studies and perhaps a more detailed and vigilant HPI would have elicited the probable trigger earlier and directed his therapy to the underlying cause. His resultant acute brachial plexitis (PT syndrome), once recognized, was aggressively treated with high dose IV corticosteroids and he has since made a slow recovery. This case was assessed as medically serious by GSK.

For approximately 2.5 months, the subject was treated for symptoms consistent with cervical radiculopathy, ultimately receiving a series of 3 cervical, translaminar epidural steroid injections with moderate relief following each injection. During the course of his treatment it was noted that the numbness in his thumb was not improving and the subject began to develop severe atrophy of his upper arm and shoulder muscles with resultant weakness. Ultimately, the diagnosis of Parsonage-Turner Syndrome was made secondary to vaccination exposure. Although the subject had imaging consistent with his symptoms, the development of atrophy, myopathy and paresthesia are atypical of a cervical radiculitis. The subject's initial symptoms were however consistent with his imaging studies and perhaps a more detailed and vigilant HPI would have elicited the probable trigger earlier and directed his therapy to the underlying cause. His resultant acute brachial plexitis (PT syndrome), once recognized, was aggressively treated with high dose IV corticosteroids and he has since made a slow recovery. This case was assessed as medically serious by GSK.

Symptoms: Pain, Pain in extremity, Paraesthesia, Radiculitis cervical
Clinical narrative: This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of Parsonage-Turner syndrome in a 52-year-old male subject who was vaccinated with ENGERIX B adult (GlaxoSmithKline). The subject's medical history included hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Concurrent medical conditions included foraminal stenosis {spine} and neck pain. On an unspecified date the subject received 2nd dose of ENGERIX B adult (unknown route, site of injection and batch number). Less than one week after vaccination with ENGERIX B adult, the neck pain of the subject acutely worsened. He described an aching pain in the left neck that radiates down his left posterior arm as well as "numbness" of his left thumb. The subject was treated with Corticosteroid, Antiinflammatory, Antispasmodic and Acetaminophen with minor effects on symptoms. Nine days after vaccination with ENGERIX B adult and during a physical exam the subject had mildly decreased reflexes in the left arm as well as a strongly positive Spurling's test on the left. For approximately 2.5 months, the subject was treated for symptoms consistent with cervical radiculopathy, ultimately receiving a series of 3 cervical, translaminar epidural steroid injections with moderate relief following each injection. During the course of his treatment it was noted that the numbness in his thumb was not improving and the subject began to develop severe atrophy of his upper arm and shoulder muscles with resultant weakness.
