Clinical narrative: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome/autonomic injury/dizziness, faitgue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, brain fog, heart palpitations, and chest discomfort/hot and cold flashes; small fiber neuropathy/numbness and tingling/neurological dysfunction; hearing issues; a constellation of adverse symptoms, complications injuries, and other adverse events; bruises; has been injured; autoimmune injury; falling; seizures; Information has been received from a lawyer regarding a case in litigation, concerning a female patient (pt) of unknown age. The pt's medical history, concurrent conditions, and concomitant medications were not provided. On 27-NOV-2020 (when she was 15-years old), the pt was inoculated with the first dose of Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) injection as prevention of cervical cancer (dose, route of administration, anatomical location, lot number, and expiration date were not provided). On an unknown date, after her vaccination, the pt began experiencing symptoms of dizziness and falling. She also developed symptoms of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, seizures, headaches, numbness and tingling, hot and cold flashes, diarrhea, brain fog, hearing issues, heart palpitations, and chest discomfort. She sought treatment with multiple physicians and specialists for her complaints and was eventually diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Additionally, she was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy. As a result of her post Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) symptoms, the pt has been unable to engage in activities that a normal young person would enjoy. Due to her frequent falls, she must wear a concussion band to protect her head. She always has new bruises and has been injured several times because of her falls. Prior to the Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) vaccinations, the pt was a healthy, active, and happy child. Based upon her chronic and severe symptoms she was diagnosed with various medical conditions, included but not limited POTS and small fiber neuropathy. In addition, the pt contended that her Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) injections caused her to develop serious and debilitating autoimmune, autonomic, and neurological injuries, including but not limited to POTS and small fiber neuropathy, as well as a constellation of adverse events 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 her Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL)-induced autoimmune disorder. Moreover, as a result of company's alleged wrongful acts and breaches of warranties concerning the safety and efficacy of Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL), the pt has suffered and would continue to suffer severe and permanent physical injuries, and associated symptomology and has suffered severe and permanent emotional injuries, including pain and suffering. She also had a substantial fear of suffering additional and ongoing harms, including but not limited to now being at an increased risk of cancer, and future symptoms and harms associated with her injuries caused by Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL). Additionally, as a direct and proximate result of her vaccine-induced injuries the pt has suffered and would continue to suffer economic losses, including considerable financial expenses for medical care and treatment, and diminished income capacity and will continue to incur. The patient had not recovered from the adverse events, and it was considered the events to be related to Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL).  The reporter considered all the events to be disabling.  Upon internal review the events autoimmune disorder and seizure were determined to be medically significant.
