Clinical narrative: died of acute encephalitis associated with anti-MOG antibody production, caused by an autoimmune/autoinflammatory dysregulation process/headaches, lethargy, body aches, fever, severe body aches, stomach pains, insomnia, fever, incontinence; This spontaneous report was received from a lawyer, regarding a case in litigation and refers to a female child (reported as minor which suggested that the patient (pt) was adolescent, conflicting information, exact age was not provided) pt. Her concurrent conditions, medical history and concomitant medications were not provided. Prior to receiving quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) she had no autoimmune disease and was healthy. On 26-AUG-2022, at the age of 10 years old, the pt received her first and only dose of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) injection, as recommended by physician and consented by her mother as a prevention of cervical cancer (dose, route of administration, anatomical location, lot # and expiry date were not provided). On an unknown date in 2022 (reported as within days of receiving the vaccine), the pt began to develop headaches, lethargy, body aches and fevers. As the days progressed, so did the pt's symptoms. She continued to suffer severe body aches and developed stomach pains, insomnia, migraines, a fever of 101-degrees (exact unit was not provided) that lasted three days, incontinence, movement disorders, behavioral changes, loss of balance, and trouble completing sentences. She was seen by multiple specialists and received numerous unspecified tests and treatments. The pt sustained serious autoimmune injuries and wrongful death as a result of her quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) injection. On 04-NOV-2022, the pt was declared brain death and on 05-NOV-2022, she died. It was not reported if an autopsy was performed. The pt died of acute encephalitis associated with anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody production, caused by an autoimmune/ autoinflammatory dysregulation process. The pt's mother contended that the pt's quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) injection caused the pt to develop serious and debilitating autoimmune injuries, as well as a constellation of adverse symptoms, complications, injuries, and other adverse events, many of which were alleged herein and all of which were caused by quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL) or otherwise linked to the pt's quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL)-induced autoimmune disorder, leading to subsequent wrongful death on 05-NOV-2022. As a proximate result of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL), the pt suffered severe physical injuries and associated symptomology and suffered severe emotional injuries, including pain and suffering, commencing from the time of vaccination, until the time of her death. As a proximate result of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL), the pt sustained injuries and damages as alleged herein. These injuries caused extensive pain and suffering and severe emotional distress and substantially reduced her the pt's and pt's mother ability to enjoy life as a family. In addition, it caused the pt's mother to expend substantial sums of money for medical, hospital, and related care for the pt. As a direct, legal, proximate, and producing result of the negligence of the vaccination, the pt was injured in health, strength, and activity and suffered physical injuries as well as mental anguish. All of these injuries, distress, fear, pain, suffering, and distress were secondary to her physical injuries and damages. As a direct, legal, proximate, and producing result of the vaccination, the pt required reasonable and necessary health care treatment and services and the pt's mother incurred expenses, therefore. The vaccine was a contributing cause of the pt's injuries and death and the pt's economic and non-economic loss. Reporter considered the event to be related to quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6,11,16,18) recomb. vaccine (GARDASIL).   The event of acute encephalitis associated with MOG antibody production, caused by an autoimmune/ autoinflammatory dysregulation process was determined to be disabling by reporter.  Upon internal review, the event of acute encephalitis associated with anti-MOG antibody production was considered to be medically significant.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: died of acute encephalitis associated with anti-MOG antibody production, caused by an autoimmune/autoinflammatory dysregulation process
