A 6 month old male with egg allergy, a history of eczema and no previous illness, on 08-JUL-2010, was vaccinated orally with the third dose of ROTATEQ (lot # 665259/0202Z).

It was presumed that it was a viral syndrome with erythema multiforme. The patient continued to have fever for 5 days, so was admitted for rule out Kawasaki disease from 22-JUL-2010 to 25-JUL-2010. At that time, laboratories showed normal white blood cell, hemoglobin and platelets and serum C-reactive protein greater than 27. Eventually, the patient also developed albumin 2.8 and hemoglobin 9.3. A stool culture performed was positive for Clostridium difficile. The patient was discharged with 10 day course of oral FLAGYL.
