Clinical narrative: Two days post vax, the pt developed joint pain, fever, night sweats, rash, fatigue, shortness of breath, numbness and tingling, and twitching facial muscles. A doctor visit was required. The pt was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Pt was treated with a 21 day regimen of doxycycline. Pt was tested positive for babesiosis. Pt was treated with amoxicillin, Lariam, Zithromax, and probenecid. Doxycycline was not started as consumer works outside. The most recent information reports the outcome of the event as unresolved. A 15-day follow up report received 12/26/2001 adds: Report number 2000021964-1 describes babesiosis and Lyme disease in a 34-year-old male who received Lyme disease vaccine recombinant OspA (Lymerix). This report was received from a medical office worker on behalf of the treating physician. Medical history included multiple tick bites before and after Lymerix administration. The pt had no known allergies. Concurrent conditions were not specified. There were no concurrent medications. The pt received his 1st injectin of Lymerix on an unspecified date. He received his 2nd injection of Lymerix in June 2000 (exact date not provided). Two days following the 2nd Lymerix injection, the pt experienced joint pain, fever of 104 degrees F, night sweats, five areas of bull's eye rash, fatigue, shortness of breath, numbness, tingling and twitching facial muscles. the pt reported that he "could not move from his hips down". The pt was seen by a physician. On 06/16/2000, the physician made a diagnosis of Lyme disease and prescribed a 21-day course of doxycycline. On 07/14/2000 the pt saw the physician for follow-up, at that time, he "tested positive for babesiosis." He was treated with amoxicillin, mefloquine (Lariam), azithromycin (Zithromax) and probenecid. Additional info was received from the pt on 12/17/2001. He reported that, prior to Lymerix administration, he "was tested for Lyme and it was negative." He reported that he has "been diagnosed with 2 different types of Lyme and also babesiosis." He also stated, "since then I've been depressed and on numerous medications. I was put out of work and collected for workers comp...I had meds and home IV (intravenous) Rocephin (coftriaxoac) which didn't help. I'm still receiving treatments of biocillin once a week. I have seen other doctors who also say I will have chronic Lyme the rest of my life." The Lyme disease, babesiosis, and depression were considered to be disabling because the pt was unable to work. Therefore, this report has been reclassified as serious, unexpected.

Clinical narrative: Within hours of receiving second dose of Lymerix, the pt developed a faint red rash with annular lesions over the trunk and arms. The pt reported to the dermatologist that the rash was sometimes papular if he were warm and perspiring. At some time pt developed acute tenderness over the entire affected region and the pt reported that it was painful to put any clothing over the area. The rash was treated with triamcinolone cream and oral methylprednisolone, starting in June, 2000 with little relief according to the pt. On 08/09/2000 the lesion was biopsied and the pt was placed on prednisone for 10 days. The preliminary biopsy results were consistent with a gyrate erythema or Lyme disease. A stain for spirochetes to rule out active Lyme disease is at this time still pending. The prednisone had not helped the pts pain much. The prednisone has already caused the unwanted side effect of weight gain. According to the pt the dermatologist was absolutely sure that the reaction was related to Lymerix.
