Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a consumer concerning an approx. 7 year old female who about 2 years ago, in approx. 1999, was vaccinated with 1 dose of varicella virus vaccine. In approx. 1999, the pt developed hyperammonemia and died. Additional information has been requested. F/U information, received on 10/11/01, from the healthcare professional, indicated that "subsequent to the initial encephalopathy (the child was) dx'd with de novo or a primary mutation of ornithine transcarbamoylase deficiency (OTC), which was most likely the cause of the elevated plasma ammonia and the encephalopathy". He further indicated that he did not necessarily believe there was a direct cause and effect relationship between vaccination with varicella virus vaccine live and the development of OTC deficiency; however, since the vaccine is a live virus, he wondered about the possibility of the vaccine "triggering" some type of response which lead to the manifestation of the OTC deficiency disorder. Additional information has been requested. Follow-up info received on 11/30/2001 from a physician indicated that the pt was 8 years old, white, weighed 42 lbs, and was 45" tall. The pt who had no past medical history and no known allergies, was vaccianted SC on 08/13/1999 with the first dose of varicella virus vaccine live. It was reported that the pt's experience began on 09/20/1999. The physician indicated that the pt died on 10/23/1999 from multiple organ failure after being diagnosed with OTC.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a company representative concerning a 2 month old infant who received a dose of Prevnar "shortly after" administration of "routine" vaccines. The infant developed laryngeal edema and "went limp". The infant was examined by a physician. Laryngeal edema and hypotonia were considered "Medically Important". No further information was available at the date of this report. F/U information received from the company representative on 10/3/01, provided the name of the nurse who administered the vaccine and the name and location of the facility. On 10/16/01, follow-up info was received from the nurse. On 4/26/01, the male infant received his 1st doses of Infanrix, Engerix-B, Pedvax-Hib and IPOL vaccines. On 5/1/01, at 10:10, he received his 1st dose of Prevnar. He soon "became lethargic" and "very drowsy". The nurse was able to arouse him and keep him awake "by stimulation". His heart rate was 120/minute, his color pale, his skin warm and dry, and his breathing non-labored. No rashes were noted. The infant was observed for 45 mintues and subsequently, "discharged". At 14:45, the infant's mother phoned the clinic to report that he had "vomited a large amount" and was "gagging". The mother was advised to take the infant to a physician for evaluation. The physician noted that the infant's throat was "slightly" swollen. The mother reported that the physician "felt it was a reaction to the Prevnar". The infant was treated with unspecified oral steroid, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Motrin (ibuprofen). An IV line was started and the infant was transferred via ambulance to a hospital. The infant was hospitalized overnight and discharged the following afternoon. His mother subsequently, reported that the infant "was back to normal self". The mother indicated that "MD told her that infant should not receive any more Prevnar". Infomation regarding this event was forwarded to the manufacturer of the vaccines administered within 4 weeks of date of Prevnar administration.
