Clinical narrative: Information has been received from the father of a 2 month old female pt who on 5/15/00 was vaccinated with the 1st dose of haemophilus b conjugate vaccine (+) hepatitis b vaccine recombinant (yeast) in the thigh (633885/0253K). Concomitant therapy included the 1st dose of DPT (Acel-Imune) (lot 467005) and the 1st dose of poliovirus vaccine (lot R0516). She reportedly developed a hard knot at the DTP injection site and became fussy. The induration resolved within several weeks and her fussiness abated within several days. On approx. 5/22/00, the pt experienced seizure. Her eyes turned up and to the right; she experienced slight neck stiffness and she would not respond when touched or her name was called. This episode resolved within 30 seconds. She experienced 3 similar episodes, the next day and was hospitalized. She was treated with IV phenobarbital and discharged, 2 days later, with RX for oral phenobarbital. The pt was seizure-free for "a couple of days" and then experienced 10 to 12 seizures a day. She was again hospitalized and treated with IV (Klonopin). Once the clonazepam was initiated, she began seizing again. On 6/12/00, she experienced status epilepticus (her seizures were more severe and lasted longer) and was taken to the ER on 6/13/00. Her oxygen was "down in the 40". She was transferred to the ICU and treated with a midazolam (Versed) drip and was seizure-free for 2 to 3 days. Once oral seizure medications were re-started, the pt again began to seize. The pt was discharged on 7/18/00. According to the pt's father, various seizure medications have been prescribed; however, medication is now used only "for acute situations". The pt is currently on a ketogenic diet and continues to experience 10 to 100 seizures per day. Additional information has been requested.

His head and scalp have been extremely tender to touch the entire time. When he wasn't feeling well he often didn't think well, remember, or talk well.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received concerning a 13 month old male who on 1/22/01 was vaccinated with a 1st dose of varicella virus vaccine live, a 1st dose of Prevnar and a 3rd dose of poliovirus vaccine. On 2/8/01, the pt developed a varicella infection that was complicated by cellulitis and an abscess and was hospitalized. A wound drainage culture was done and showed the presence of staphylococcal aureus. The child received IV antibiotics following "incision and drainage". Follow-up information has been received from a health professional that reports the pt developed a varicella infection post vaccination, that resulted in a "super infected chickenpox lesion" on the pt's left leg. The pt was admitted to the hospital on 2/10/01, where the abscess was incised, drained, cultured and packed by surgeons.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a physician concerning a 24 month old male with hereditary spherocytosis who on 4/3/01 was vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine 23 polyvalent in the right thigh. On 4/3/01, 3 hours, post vax, the pt's mother reported the child was crying and in "obvious discomfort". The child was favoring his right knee and was unable to bend his right knee. On 4/4/01, the pt's mother reported the pt had a fever of 103F and could not bend his knee. The child was still in discomfort, but was not favoring his knee as much. On 4/5/01, the pt's mother reported that the child still could not bend his knee. Also, she tried to bend his knee and was unable to do so. The child still had a fever in the range of 103F. On 4/5/01, the child was seen by his physician. On physical exam, the physician noted that the child was not able to bend his knee and that she could not bend the child's knee. The pt's knee was not red or tender and there were no lumps or bruises. When the child walks, he does not bend his knee. In follow-up, the physician decided to have the child evaluated by the orthopedic doctors because the child still was not bending his right leg, which is the leg that the child received the pneumococcal vaccine. The physician reported that the orthopedic physician felt that the child had a hematoma in the muscle that would take time to resolve. The physician spoke to the pt's mother on 4/11/01 and the mother reported that the child "slowly became better". The pt's mother said that as of 4/10/01, the child was "normal". Fever of 103F, crying, obvious discomfort and favoring right knee and unable to bend right knee, were considered to be disabling. Additional information has been requested. In follow-up, the mother reported that very shortly after receiving the IZ, he developed a minimal splotchy red rash, about the size of a quarter, below the site of the knee. The physician reported this  was not in contingous area to the IZ itself. Following the vaccination, the pt went on a 3 day car ride. By the last hour, the child was crying continuously and was telling his mother that he had a "owie". The physician reported that by the time they reached their destination, he was not bending the knee. The pt's mother reported the fever would go down to 100F with ibuprofen (Motrin). The pt had some mild cough and cold symptoms. On 4/5/01, the pt's mother spoke to a nurse in the office and reported that the pt's appetite was decreased and drinking was decreased but the child had wet diapers.
