Vaccine: LYME
Symptoms: Palpitations, Tachycardia
Clinical narrative: In 7/99, the pt received his 1st dose of Lymerix, with no ill effects. In 8/99, he received the 2nd dose. After about 4 months, in 12/99, he experienced a "dull ache-like chest pain under his left breast". He also had palpitations and tachycardia. It was reported, these episodes had a sudden onset and were unrelated to activity. They were infrequent and usually occurred in the AM but have occurred over the course of the day. During the episodes, the pt reported feeling faint and had a "very strange and unusual feeling of fatigue". The pt saw his PCP in 12/99. In 2/00, the pt saw his PCP again and he prescribed Xanax for anxiety. The pt did not believe he felt anxiety in 12/99 or 7/00 and did not use the Xanax very often, rarely if he felt anxiety. The pt received the 3rd dose of Lymerix in 8/00. The most recent information received on 8/16/00, reported the symptoms were ongoing. The last episode was in 7/00. Follow up on 12/01/2000: "Physician stated, on 12/13/1999 the patient developed transient sweating and palpitations.  He remained asymptomatic until 12/25/1999, when he had three subsequent episodes lasting 15-30 minutes and two more episodes on each of sucessive days.  He was examined on 12/28/1999 and was normal except for a blood pressure of 158-83.  A 24 hour Holter monitor was obtained and revealed no abnormality except brief episodes of sinus tachycardia.  A fasting blood glucose, thyroid panel, and complete blood count were normal.  The patient was diagnosed with panic disorder and was treated with alprazolem as needed.  The most recent information received on 11/21/2000 did not provide an outcome.  Causality per patients physician: "I have advised the patient that I have no reason to believe that his symptoms are in any way related to his Lymerix vaccine".  Follow up on 02/02/2001: "The events of "feeling faint" and "panic disorder" do not meet ICH serious criteria, but are being submitted as an expedited report by special request per the 06/28/2000 letter.  The initial section of this report was submitted on 08/29/2000."

Symptoms: Blister, Bone pain, Convulsion, Kidney infection, Memory impairment
Clinical narrative: Fever started on 6/14/70. On 6/15/70, at 09:00, went into convulsions. Gave aspirin and cool baths, per doctor's advice. About 13:00, she had seizures again. Fever was 104F. Drove to doctor's office and he gave her a shot, seizures didn't stop. Drove to hospital and she was admitted. She got another shot about 19:00. Treated with phenobarbitol and Gravol (to settle stomach), aspirin and antibiotics. Pt had seizures, vomiting, kidney infection, rash and blisters on body. Seizures recurred, got worse in time. May 1978 started Dilantin, September 1980, started Tegretol and seizures continue. Our daughter's brain has deteriorated, especially memory and personality. The follow up states "I reported the adverse effects our daughter suffered, to you 8/20/00. You can add the enclosed info to our daughter's file. This is what the measles vaccination at age 16 months has led to. It was Lirugen as I have informed you before. Lifelong seizures is not the only complication. For 21 years, from 1980-2001 (starting at age 11 yrs) she was taking Tegretol to control the seizures, which can affect the white blood cell count and bone marrow (multiple myeloma) and spread to the bones (bone cancer). This has happened. This year our daughter was scheduled from March to August for infusions to treat her condition, because her bone pain was so severe. For the last year she was put on new anticonvulsants: Keppra and Lamictal. Even these could not improve and control her seizures. So, as a last resort, she underwent the Vagus nerve stimulator implantation. She is so angry, frustrated and hopeless by what a "simple" measles vaccination has done to her life, evident in the enclosed VNS description. And how do you think we as parents feel?!
