Vaccine: HEP
Symptoms: Arthritis, Asthenia, Hypokinesia, Immune system disorder, Oedema peripheral
Clinical narrative: After 2nd shot, began having respiratory problems, weakness, fatigue, swelling and pain in hands and arms, weight loss, skin on hands thickened and cracked. Treated for arthritis but no improvement. Sent to a Rheumatologist in July 1999 who dx'd as Autoimmune connective tissue disorder and he is treating it with Prednisone and Methotrexate and is still under treatment. Consulted my Internist about taking 3rd shot; once I took the 3rd shot, conditioned worsened; slow improvement now but activities are still limited by condition and still have all symptoms. Pt returned for her regularly scheduled visit today. She has an undifferentiated connective tissue disease manifest by evidence of inflammtory myopathy with anti-Smith antibody. This is most likely a lupus variant. She is doing remarkably well with the combination of low dose methotrexate and prednisone. Her prednisone has been tapered to 3 mg daily. Her methotrexate has been tapered to 10 mg every other Monday in rotation with folic acid. She has instructions to further reduce the prednisone over the coming months. She has now completed four years of Fosamax therapy for her bone mineral density abnormalities. She states that the DEXA performed after approxiametly 1 1/2 years of therapy showed improvement in bone mineral density. I believe she is due for another one now. This would serve as the baseline for a comparison DEXA to be performed three years from now to be sure that her calcium supplementation and exercise is adequate to mantain bone density off Fosamax. I am planning to see her back in about four months unless questions or problems arise. Pt is a 61 year old with a history suggestive of an evolving autoimmune inflammatory connective tissue disorder. Her symptoms were probably manifest as much as five years ago, but have blossomed more prominently in the last eight months. She has several symptoms and signs which render an overlap appearance to her disease. A definitive diagnosis cannot yet be made, but certain that her differential diagnostic list can be shortened significantly once some additional lab is obtained.

Clinical narrative: This child had Motrin at 9:30 AM. She has taken Motrin before without any problems. At 12 noon she received immunizations.

She slept 1 hour waking her ears and neck was bright red, and she had welts on her back extending up into her hair line. The mother consulted her doctor who ordered Benadryl which was given. Shortly thereafter the mother noticed the child had "blue lips" and labored breathing and severe hives over her entire body. She took her to the ER in Salina where she was seen by a doctor. Her condition improved and she returned home with instructions to give her Benadryl. The mother did this, and the child looked good the following AM without any hives. However, by 10:30 AM on 01/13/01, the mother noted hives again on her face, neck, and belly. She gave her appropriate dose of Benadryl, and the child slept for  one hour. On awakening the child began screaming, and the mother noticed her hands and feet were swollen, so much that her toes were white. The mother took her to the ER again where the same doctor was attending. He started the child on a steroid medication, the mother is not sure the name of the med, and since that started the child's condition has returned to normal. The mother is still rotating between Tylenol and Motrin for discomfort, as the child is teething also, and is still giving steroid med. Six days now since immunizations, and the child appears to be doing well.
