Clinical narrative: 3/20/07 1:30am:  Hallucinating (Dr. said via telephone to proceed to Med. Center.  Hallucinations continued with and without fever.  At hospital the pt. became unable to walk or stand. The physicians agreed that he could be getting inflammation around his brain.  He was sent by ambulance to another Hospital.  He was there for only 2-3 hours and was released although he still had difficulty walking and was hallucinating without fever present.  30 min. after being released he had a grandmal seizure and was rushed by ambulance again to another hospital because he was having difficulty breathing.  He continued to not be able to walk for 5 days.  He continued to have seizure activity, fever, leg swelling, and personality changes for atleast 5 days after this. He had to be given Rectal Diastat to stop the grandmal seizure.  We have had to have MRI's of his brain and spinal cord and a sleep study after all of this. Those were normal which proves that he does not have a seizure disorder or tumor which could've caused these symptoms.  It was an adverse reaction to the vaccinations.  He continues to have personality changes which began after the vaccinations.  He is not the same child.  He even started biting us 2 days after the vaccinations.   We have encountered 3 ER visits, 2 ambulance rides, 2 MRI's, and a sleep study all because of this adverse reaction, not to mention the week that our whole family missed of work.  08/03/2007 MR received from PCP for several OVs beginning 4/23/2007 for F/U of sleep study and MRI for worsening of a seizure disorder with atypical characteristics such as hallucinations, ataxia, and bilateral lower extremity weakness.  He additionally has had increased snoring s/p T&A. Assessment (4/23/2007): Seizure disorder, Hallucinations, Bilateral extremity weakness, Bilateral lower extremity ataxia, Recurrent URIs, Excessive Snoring, Sleep disturbance.    08/06/2007 MR received for ER visit 3/20/2007 for Febrile Seizure  several hours after D/C from another facility.  Rectal valium given by parents which stopped the seizure after ~20 seconds. Child had an unusual gait although other symptoms had improved. DX: Febrile Seizure.   09/04/2007 MR received for ER visit 3/20/2007 for c/o fever and hallucinations. PE (+) crusty rhinorrhea and upper airway noise upon auscultation of lungs. ER MD discussed w/ Immunology-no further testing recommended. Final DX:  Fever.  Hallucination.  Additional ER visit for viral illness in 7/2007. 1/11/2010 My son continues to have tremors when he runs fever. In Nov. 2007 (the last time that he ran a fever) he had several episodes of tremors we had to rush him to the E.R several times. He never had these tremor episodes until after these vaccinations. These tremors began the day after the vaccination. These tremors are seizure activity. My son also complains of joint pain from time to time.  Follow-up: Patient has a time back in August where he became unable to walk again. He could walk at times with difficulty. He began crawling again. It lasted about 3-4 days. I would like to be contacted to know what trends / links were found.
