Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a nurse and described the occurrence of cranial nerve paralysis in a 3 month old female pt who received Infanrix and hep B vaccine recombinant (Engerix B) for prophylaxis. On 10/6/00 the pt received her second vaccination with Infanrix. She received her initial vaccination with Engerix B on 6/17/00, and her second vaccination with Engerix B on 10/6/00. Approximately sixteen days after her most recent Infanrix and Engerix B vaccinations, on 10/22/00, the pt experienced cranial nerve paralysis and right eye paralysis which required medical attention at a doctor's office. The events resolved approximately eight to ten weeks after her October 2000 immunizations. However, the pt subsequently received two additional immunizations at another facility on unknown dates, and the paralysis recurred on five additional occasions.

Clinical narrative: This was reported by a lawyer and described the occurrence of mercury poisoning in a 7 year old male pt who received hep B vaccine recombinant and DTP/DTaP vaccine for prophylaxis. This report was received via the litigation process and a physician or other health care professional has not verified this report. At an unknown time after receiving hep B vaccine, DTP/ DTaP vaccine, Hib and/ or MMR II vaccine, the pt experienced neurotoxic effects resulting in "severe" neurodevelopmental injuries. The events were attributed to mercury overdose and poisoning resulting from the thimerisol-component of the vaccines. The "multiple symptoms" of the pt's injuries "occurred and were first manifest no later than 1/1/01." According to the attorney, the pt incurred medical expenses and will continue to incur medical expenses in the future as a result of his injuries. The attorney also alleged that the pt suffered significant impairments in his ability to enjoy life, faces "significant obstacles to performing the tasks and activities of everyday living," and suffers "ongoing physical and mental distress."

Approximately fourteen months after the fourth doses of DTP/DTaP and Haemophilus vaccines, and approximately 23 months after the third dose of hep B vaccine, in April 1998, the tp developed neurodevelopmental injuries including autism. The attorney attributed the events to mercury poisoning resulting from the thimerisol component of the DTP/ DTaP, hep B and Hib vaccines.
