Clinical narrative: A report was received from a health care professional on 11/19/03 concerning an 81 year old female vaccinee who experienced nausea and vomiting, and was diagnosed with pancreatitis, which resulted in hospitalization for 3 days, after receiving Fluvirin vaccine on 10/22/03. Concomitant medication taken at the time of the event included hydrochlorothiazide, potassium chloride, pantoprazole, simvastatin, fluoxetine hydrochloride, amiodipine besilate, primidone and calcium polycarbophil. On 10/22/03, the vaccinee was administered Fluvirin and later that day she experienced nausea and vomiting and was subsequently hospitalized. The vaccinee was diagnosed as having pancreatitis with a lipase level of 6,686. With bowel rest and IV fluids she improved and was discharged from hospital on 10/25/03. The vaccinee is now eating well and had one episode of pain but is otherwise feeling well. She is to maintain a low fat diet. The vaccinee had recovered at the time of the report. Following review of the patient's history and other possible causes of pancreatitis, the hospital gastroenterologist considered the pancreatitis to be likely related to the vaccine, however, there was insufficient information to determine the reporter's causality assessment.
