Clinical narrative: This spontaneous report has been received from consumer a mother who was referring to her son, 17 year old male. It was reported that the patient has always been very healthy, usually he has showed zero absences maybe year. In August 2011, we went for his yearly check-up, the doctor commented the fact we was all muscle (no other results or details provided). And then the doctor said the patient should get GARDASIL series of shots. When the patient's mother hesitated, the doctor insisted so the patient's mother agreed and he got the first shot. On unspecified date in August 2011, the patient was vaccinated with the first dose of GARDASIL (dose, route, indication not reported). Information on concomitant medication was not provided. On unspecified date, reported as about two weeks later, in September 2011, the patient got a cold, the reporter stated that he was so wiped out that, when he did not recovered after a week, he was taken to the doctor and inquired about Mono as the symptoms were unusual for the patient. The patient seemed to be recovering when he got another cold on unspecified date reported as in early October 2011. The reporter stated that the patient life has never been the same. He had a fever and cough for weeks and was totally debilitated in a way never seen, the patient could barely function or stay awake. On unspecified date the patient recovered from fever and cough. In April 2013, reported as a year and one-half later, the patient was remaining debilitated with constant headaches- at 3:00 in the morning. The reporter stated that the headache pain was so bad that either he could not sleep or it awakened him. The patient had trouble concentrating, reading, focusing (dates unspecified). The reporter stated that her son life has been irrevocably altered. It was reported that the patient seen seven doctors: his pediatrician, ear nose and throat doctor, an infectious diseases group specialist, an adult neurologist, a pediatric neurologist, a Lyme Disease specialist (who ruled out Lyme) and, chronic fatigue specialist. It was reported that there was no relief for him, aspirin or MOTRIN, even at prescription dosages, did not help the headache pain. It was reported that the exhaustion and debilitation was continued. The patient's mother reported that she was searching for answers and noting the timing of the onset of my son's illness. She researched GARDASIL on-line and she was shocked by the stories I found (unspecified). When the patient's mother suggested the connection between her son's condition and GARDASIL to his doctor, he said those stories were anecdotal. The outcome of another cold, trouble concentrating, reading, focusing, the event reported as it's too late for my son whose life has been irrevocably altered / his life has never been the same was unknown. The reporter suggested the connection between her son condition to GARDASIL. Upon internal review reported the patient's event reported as it's too late for my son whose life has been irrevocably altered / his life has never been the same was considered to be disabling. Additional information has been requested.
