Clinical narrative: A mother reported that her 4 month old son received Orimune and DTP vaccines on 2/17/94. The infant was receiving antibiotic therapy for an unspecified indication. On 4/22/94, the infant developed fever, bulging fontanel, paralysis and numbness of his right leg, cold hands and feet, poor feeding and became fussy and listless. He was hospitalized. Unspecified cultures were performed and reportedly revealed a "viral infection". According to his mother, he has residual damage of his right leg; walks and runs with a limp. Annual follow-up was received on 2/13/01. The child received his 3rd dose of Orimune without any consequences. He was transferred to a hospital on 4/24/94 with a dx of right leg paralysis, probable etiology plexopathy versus a viral neuritis. Because of the lack of temporal association, they do not believe this event is vaccine related. He was discharged home on no medications and his parents were instructed to monitor his neuro status and to schedule follow-up with a neurologist. As of 10/25/94, he continued to make steady progress towards the recovery of the right leg paralysis. He was seen by both physical and occupational therapist, 3 times a week. He had much difficulty pulling-to-stand due to weakness in the right leg and tended to lock his hip and knee. He was able to tolerate slight flexion in the right knee before fatiguing. Sensation was steadily improving. No further information was provided as of the date of this report.

Clinical narrative: The pt reports being completely well with normal blood tests 2 months prior during back surgery, yet after flue vaccination, he developed low platelet count, anemia and recently his bone marrow results showed leukemia. He has last 40 lbs. since November, and he has periods of extreme fatigue. He has been given 3 month to 1 year to live, but he is receiving 2-3 pints of blood every 2-3 weeks, so shows increased energy and appetite following the transfusions. He had no problem the way the shot was given. According to his wife, the next day, post vax, he had a sore left arm from where the shot was given, though there was only a slight bruising. The aching increased up into his neck, a bad headache and eventually to both shoulders and down the other arm. By that Friday evening, the pain was extreme and I drove him to the ER where he was treated with several shots of Demerol. After 2 or 3 hours, we came home, but he was still very miserable. About 03:00, Saturday AM, he demanded that the EMS by called as his throat seemed to be swelling shut and he could not really open his mouth or swallow. Any movement was terribly painful. That time the ER physician treated him for pain and did a CBC and UA. When I picked him up, we were told that his blood was very strange and to see out family MD on Monday AM. The MD saw him on Tuesday, 11/14 and ordered weekly CBC's, etc. After several weeks of this, he was referred to a hematologist. On 12/14, he was called to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion of 3 units of packed cells. They admitted him for the night. He had a reaction on the 2nd unit; his left arm swelled and hurt so they asked an orthopedist to see him. It was X-rayed and an antibiotic IV was started, followed by Keflex. A culture was done of the elbow, but apparently none found. He was given Prednisone for 1 week and felt much better. He was also put on ferrous sulfate for severe anemia. The platelets were still a major concern. Saw doctor on 1/4/01 and we were ordered to have another blood typing and received 2 more units of blood (or cells) the next day. He seems to be getting weaker, his legs refuse to hold him up at times, he shakes a lot and even sunk down to the floor the other night while going to the bathroom and had to have the fire dept pick him up. He had fallen, hitting his head. He hurts in almost every part of his body. His head and scalp have been extremely sore to touch this entire time. When he is not feeling well, he often doesn't thing well, remember or talk well, This is probably lack of oxygen in his blood, they say.

He had no problem the way the shot was given. According to his wife, the next day, post vax, he had a sore left arm from where the shot was given, though there was only a slight bruising. The aching increased up into his neck, a bad headache and eventually to both shoulders and down the other arm. By that Friday evening, the pain was extreme and I drove him to the ER where he was treated with several shots of Demerol. After 2 or 3 hours, we came home, but he was still very miserable. About 03:00, Saturday AM, he demanded that the EMS by called as his throat seemed to be swelling shut and he could not really open his mouth or swallow. Any movement was terribly painful. That time the ER physician treated him for pain and did a CBC and UA. When I picked him up, we were told that his blood was very strange and to see out family MD on Monday AM. The MD saw him on Tuesday, 11/14 and ordered weekly CBC's, etc. After several weeks of this, he was referred to a hematologist. On 12/14, he was called to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion of 3 units of packed cells. They admitted him for the night. He had a reaction on the 2nd unit; his left arm swelled and hurt so they asked an orthopedist to see him. It was X-rayed and an antibiotic IV was started, followed by Keflex. A culture was done of the elbow, but apparently none found. He was given Prednisone for 1 week and felt much better. He was also put on ferrous sulfate for severe anemia. The platelets were still a major concern. Saw doctor on 1/4/01 and we were ordered to have another blood typing and received 2 more units of blood (or cells) the next day. He seems to be getting weaker, his legs refuse to hold him up at times, he shakes a lot and even sunk down to the floor the other night while going to the bathroom and had to have the fire dept pick him up. He had fallen, hitting his head. He hurts in almost every part of his body. His head and scalp have been extremely sore to touch this entire time. When he is not feeling well, he often doesn't thing well, remember or talk well, This is probably lack of oxygen in his blood, they say.
