Clinical narrative: 19yo male who received the vaccinia vaccine on 16Feb2018 presents to MC worsening skin lesions. On 3/11/18 the patient noticed he had ~6 erythematous papules ~0.5-1cm in diameter on his right index finger, wrist, and bicep. The lesions on his index finger and upper extremity erupted over previous breaks in his skin from grappling. The lesions where not pruritic at first, but became pruritic later that day. On 3/12, he had more lesions on his right extremity and chest. He was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum and given hydrocortisone cream. The following day, he continued to have new lesions including one under his right eye where there was a previous grappling cut and worsening puritis. He visited the ER where he was diagnosed with MRSA and started on BACTRIM. He continued to have more lesions on his neck and left arm and made a dermatology appointment. The dermatologist was concerned for a vaccinia reaction and transferred the patient to MC. The patient states he scratches these lesions constantly, occassionally opening them up and he sees clear fluid draining from them. The patient states he is otherwise at his baseline health. Denies fever, chills, SOB, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea. The patient states that the night before the erruptions began he had unprotected sex with a new partner. He asked both the new partner and his grappling partners if they have any skin issues and they denied. He has also been non-compliant with covering his vaccinia vaccination site. He has repeatedly manipulated it and has not had it covered throughout the day.

Clinical narrative: On 9-26-2017 during my regular medical checking at 2:15 P.M. I received one FLUZONE HIGH DOSE flu shot which I receive annually. For the first time by 5 PM I began feeling so weak and tired that I decided to go to bed. Before going to bed I went to the bathroom to urinate. My normal urine is nearly colorless to light yellow. This time my urine was dark brown like strong iced tea in color and smelled musty and spicy. I immediately stopped drinking all other beverages and drank exclusively water until the urine returned to normal. I remained in bed 2 1/2 days. Having an open lab app't. I went to the lab and had blood and urine samples taken. Results were all normal for me except the creatinine in the urinalysis which was 161.7 mg/dl. Norms for this test range from 47-110 mg/dl. I remained in bed for a total of 5 days before I felt strong enough to resume normal living patterns. The urine color did not return to my normal color for a full 2 weeks. On Friday, December 29, 2017 I came down with a flu virus and remained bedridden for 10 days before I felt well enough to get up. I remained weak and run down for another 5-6 weeks. Regarding the September flu vaccine reaction, I contacted my Dr's office twice, once about the weakness and urine odor and color change, and once about the urine creatine high reading. In both instances after discussion, the resulting decision was to wait and watch. No other symptoms related to this incident were observed.

Clinical narrative: 6 days after the shots on 12/21/17 a rash started developing on her face. The rash spread from her face, to her stomach, then to arms/legs area and progressively got worse and her body was covered. She was sleeping more than normal starting on 12/19/17. Her stool changed color and was silver/gray. On 12/24/17 she got a fever that ranged between approximately 100-102 until 12/27/17. On 12/26/17 we went back to the doctor as we suspected this was a vaccine reaction. We were told it could be a coincidence and if it was a reaction from one of the 2 live virus vaccines that it would be an altered form of the virus. Her rash got better starting in early January but didn't fully go away until 1/8/18. However, since then she gets a rash periodically on different spots of her body. We had a wellness visit 3/16/18 and Dr. looked at the rash on her back and referred us to a dermatologist. Dr. seemed concerned that the rash hasn't fully gone away.
