Vaccine: HEP, IPV, PNC, VARCEL
Symptoms: Aphthous stomatitis, Blister, Febrile convulsion, Injection site mass, Injection site reaction
Clinical narrative: On 8/9/00, pt was vaccinated with the first dose of varicella virus vaccine live, third dose of hepatitis b vaccine recombinant, the first dose of streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine and the third dose of poliovirus vaccine. On the day of receiving vax, the pt experienced a local reaction on leg with a knot. Pt received treatment with Benadryl. Seven days post vax, pt developed a fever that lasted for 5 days or longer and then resolved. Since the vax, every 3-4 weeks, the pt developed a fever up to 105. At times, the pt develops a seizure from the fever. It was reported that in September 2001, pt did not develop a fever but did develop a genital rash (also reported as genital ulcers). Pt was referred to a dermatologist on 9/12/01. Dermatologist stated that the lesions were more accurately described as blisters and were confined to the vulva area. The pt has experienced some scarring from the blisters. The genital rash was described by the pt's mother as "looks like the chicken pox rash." The doctors are unsure, but they say that the pt has a type of syndrome in which she develops fevers. A culture of the lesions was performed for herpes simplex which was negative, but the dermatologist stated that it may not have been a good culture since it was not obtained at a time of "big flare." If the rash recurs, another culture will be obtained. A pediatric infectious disease MD felt the pt may have "recurrent fever aphthous ulcers" which can reportedly occur in the genital area. The dermatologist or pediatric infectious disease MD can confirm an etiology for the rash. Follow-up info from the pt's mother indicated that the pt has possible "PFAPA" (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Adenitis Syndrome). The pt was treated with Tagamet. It was noted that the fever was ongoing. The mother reported that the pt required medical intervention to prevent a serious outcome, and therefore, the events were considered to be other important medical events. Addtl info has been requested. Follow up info from a physician noted that since discussing the possibility of a vaccine, it was felt that the pt had FFAPA syndrome or periodic fever, apthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenopathy. The physician noted "she has not had an episode that I can culture and at this point I would like to comment that I do not think it is related and therefore we will not be following up with this." It was also noted that the pt reportedly developed a febrile seizure, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, rash vesicular bullous, mouth ulceration and vulvovaginal disorder. No further info is available.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a nurse concerning a 57 year old female hospital employee who on 10/12/01 was vaccinated with varicella virus vaccine live. On 10/27/01, the pt developed a continuous fever that ran between 100.3F and 100.5F. On 10/29/01, the pt broke out with 3 chickenpox vesicles which were described as red spots that elevated to a vesicular, itchy rash that erupted and crusted. On 11/13/01, following treatment with ibuprofen (Advil), the pt's fever spiked to 102F. The pt was subsequently, hospitalized for the events and was treated with ibuprofen (Advil), acyclovir and hydroxyzine hydrochloride (Atarax). It was reported that the pt was found to have a non-skin abscess which was being surgically addressed. It was also reported that the pt had total of approx. 12 vesicles which at the time of this report, were resolving. At the time of this report, the pt was still experiencing a low-grade fever. Additional information has been requested. The follow up states that on 11/10/01, the pt ws still febrile, therefore blood work and a chest x-ray were taken. The pt was found to have an elevated white blood cell count and an abnormal ESr however all other diagnostic studies were noted to be normal. The chest x-ray was also reported as normal. On 11/13/01, following treatment with Advil, the pt's fever spiked to 102 deg F. The pt was subsequently hospitalized on 11/14/01 for the events and was treated with Advil, acylcovir, and have a large abdominal abscess which was surgically drained. The pt was hospitalzied for 8+ days and by 12/16/01 had recovered from all of the events. The pt's internist felt that the abdominal abscess was probably not related to varicella virus vaccine live. The reporter felt that the events were important for an other medical event (OMIC). No further info is expected.
