Clinical narrative: This is a follow-up to a previously submitted VAERS report 304955. The patient is a 41 year old male. In mid-May 2008, the agency reviewed VAERS #304955. The report indicated the onset of headaches and joint pains temporally-related to the receipt of anthrax vaccine in Jan 2008. The agency contacted SM because of unknown recovery status annotated on VAERS report and no apparent vaccine exemption. At initial phone contact with SM late May 2008, he indicated persistent headaches and multiple joint pains w/o redness, swelling, warmth. A medical temporary exemption for anthrax vaccine was entered pending further evaluation of his symptoms. HPI revealed the onset of multiple joint pain (bilateral ankles/bilateral knees/hips, right shoulder) within 24 hrs, and onset of headaches within 48 hrs following receipt of AVA#1 + typhoid vaccines in Jan 2008. He experienced an exacerbation of joint pains and headaches following receipt of AVA#2 in Feb 2008, and again with receipt of AVA#3 +HepB#1 in Apr 2008. He was first seen by a PCM and optometry in Feb 2008 for evaluation of his headaches without identified etiology. In Apr 2008 he was seen for acute right knee pain, attributed to known strain. His PCM saw him in Jun 2008 for multiple joint pain and headaches, both partially controlled on prescription Naprosyn. In Sep 2008, PCM evaluated SM for both headaches and joint pains. His current diagnoses are headache syndrome and arthralgia (he was also evaluated for "chronic diarrhea", exact onset unknown). In Sep 2008 he had negative/normal CBCdiff, CMP, RF, ANA, ESR, UA, and Hepatitis panel. Follow-up: Pt. continues to receive follow-up care in military health system.

At initial phone contact with SM late May 2008, he indicated persistent headaches and multiple joint pains w/o redness, swelling, warmth. A medical temporary exemption for anthrax vaccine was entered pending further evaluation of his symptoms. HPI revealed the onset of multiple joint pain (bilateral ankles/bilateral knees/hips, right shoulder) within 24 hrs, and onset of headaches within 48 hrs following receipt of AVA#1 + typhoid vaccines in Jan 2008. He experienced an exacerbation of joint pains and headaches following receipt of AVA#2 in Feb 2008, and again with receipt of AVA#3 +HepB#1 in Apr 2008. He was first seen by a PCM and optometry in Feb 2008 for evaluation of his headaches without identified etiology. In Apr 2008 he was seen for acute right knee pain, attributed to known strain. His PCM saw him in Jun 2008 for multiple joint pain and headaches, both partially controlled on prescription Naprosyn. In Sep 2008, PCM evaluated SM for both headaches and joint pains. His current diagnoses are headache syndrome and arthralgia (he was also evaluated for "chronic diarrhea", exact onset unknown). In Sep 2008 he had negative/normal CBCdiff, CMP, RF, ANA, ESR, UA, and Hepatitis panel. Follow-up: Pt. continues to receive follow-up care in military health system.

Clinical narrative: My daughter started having intense diarrhea 4 hours after getting oral ROTATEQ.  She was sick and up all night, the night after receiving the vaccination.  She had some blood in her stool after many episodes of the diarrhea.  She was also screaming uncontrollably for several hours and pulling her legs up like she was in pain.  After a few hours the screaming  stopped but the diarrhea continued for about 48 hours.  I then got sick with intense stomach cramping and diarrhea a few days later.  About a week after all of this, my 2 year old also got sick.....really sick.  She had a fever of 103.0 degrees and was vomiting every 20-45 minutes for about 12 hours.  She had a fever for about three days and was vomiting for about 36 hours.  She then had bad diarrhea.  We called the hospital and they told us she had rotavirus most likely and to be sure to keep her hydrated, which was difficult because she could not keep anything down, even water.  We were able to keep her hydrated with ice chips and after three days she began to improve.

Clinical narrative: Initial report was received 23 September 2008 from a consumer, who is also the patient.  A 58-year-old female patient with a medical history of penicillin allergy, high cholesterol, and a thyroid problem, had developed tachycardia, inability to sleep, eyebrow loss, eyelash loss, skin bumps, thin skin, inflammation of the nail bed, hoarseness of the voice, "prickly night sweats", and feeling of anxiety immediately (also reported as hours) after she had received an injection of IMOGAM RABIES HT (lot not reported) and a concomitant first dose injection of RABAVERT (manufacturer Novartis), lot number 41904A.  The patient had been bitten by a wild cat (date and location of cat bite not reported). The patient had also received four subsequent doses of IMOVAX RABIES Vaccine, lot number A0259-2 (also reported as A0259) to complete the rabies post-exposure vaccine series as follows: dose 2 was received on 23 August 2007, dose 3 was received on 27 August 2007, dose 4 was received on 03 September 2007 and dose 5 was received on 17 September 2007.  The patient had been taking SYNTHROID concomitantly at the time of vaccination.  On 20 August 2007, immediately (also reported as hours) after she had received IMOGAM RABIES HT and RABAVERT, the patient developed tachycardia, an inability to sleep, eyebrow loss, eyelash loss, skin bumps, thin skin, inflammation of the nail bed, hoarseness of the voice, "prickly night sweats", and a feeling of anxiety.  She also experienced a weight loss of eight pounds within the first two weeks after she began the post exposure vaccination series (her weight had been 129 lbs at the start of the post exposure series).  In October 2007, she developed hand tremors and began seeing "flashing lights".  The patient reported that they had been evaluated by a neurologist in the past for hand tremors (the results and date of evaluation were not provided).  The patient was evaluated by her eye doctor who stated that her "vitreous fluid collapsed" (specific eye not reported).  In May, she had the same symptoms and was diagnosed with vitreous fluid collapse in her other eye.  The patient received multiple diagnostic tests for several auto immune disorders.  One test had been positive for "scleroderma", however the patient stated that her rheumatologist stated that she did not have scleroderma and that the test had been a false positive.  She had since been evaluated by two other physicians (results of those evaluations were not reported).  At the time of the report, the patient's symptom of "prickly night sweats" had resolved, but she still experienced some night sweats and her weight had stabilized between 119 to 123 lbs.  All other symptoms continued at the time of the report.
