On 16-NOV-1999, the patient had a fever of 105.5F and severe pain in the left leg where the PNEUMOVAX was administered. The patient was seen by a physician on 17-NOV-1999 and would not bear weight on the left leg because of pain. The injection site did not look affected, however, 3 cm below the injection site a small red rash had begun to form. The physician felt the patient was having a local reaction but because of this history of fevers, the patient was hospitalized. He had a WBC of 16, 000. Sed rate of 50, and a C-reactive protein of 26. He was admitted for antibiotics and what might be developing cellulitis. The patient never had a positive bacterial growth from the site or from his blood. He completely recovered and was discharged by 20-NOV-1999. Two additional patients (WAES #00020066 and #00020074) had similar experience following exposure to PNEUMOVAX. Additional information has been requested.
