Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a health professional concerning a 3 month old patient with Down's Syndrome, Klinefelter's syndrome, no previous allergies; and history of tracheoesophageal (TE) fistula and tracheolmalacia since birth, who on 11/27/02 was vaccinated with a dose of Haemophilus B conjugate vaccine (+) hepatitis B vaccine recombinant (yeast)(lot # 644277/0915M). Concomitant therapy given at the same time on 11/27/02 included diphtheria toxoid (+) pertussis vaccine (+) tetanus toxoid, poliovirus vaccine inactivated. Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine, and palivizumab. Additional therapies which the patient has been receiving since birth include metoclopramide hydrochloride 10mg, and lansoprazole.

The reporter indicated that on 11/27/02, the patient was being held in the office for 20 minutes post vaccination only for observation, and within 10-15 minutes of receiving the vaccinations, the patient became apneic, bradycardic, and had a respiratory arrest. The patient was given resuscitation and oxygen, the physician's office called 911, the paramedics arrived and transported the patient to the ER, he was maintained there for one hour and discharged. The reporter stated, the physician office has been in contact with the child's parents and he has had no further episodes. It was noted the reporter did not have any information on the patient's birth or the mother's pregnancy. The reporter indicated the patient had previously received the same vaccinations at two months of age and had no problems. Upon internal review it was determined that the patient becoming apneic, bradycardic and subsequent respiratory arrest were considered to be an other important medical event (OMIC).
