Vaccine: DTAP, IPV, MMR
Symptoms: Convulsion, Encephalopathy, Epilepsy, Hypoxia, Loss of consciousness
Clinical narrative: On 08/07/00, days after vaccinations, the patient began running a very high fever (105+). The fever finally was controlled on 08/10 or 08/11. On 08/12, she had a seizure. She was taken to the ER, placed on O2 and given Ativan; duration was about 45 minutes. This patient's history was totally remarkable prior to this event. She had tolerated all prior immunizations well, with no obvious reactions. After sleeping post-ictally for about 4 hours, she was transferred to a hospital. She was placed under the care of a pediatric neurologist. Her second seizure occurred almost exactly 24 hours after the first one; eight hours later she had a series of 3-4 seizures back to back. She was given a loading of Dilantin IV of that time and followed up with maintenance doses every 12 hours. She went another day with no seizures, but they began a three day span where she had 10-20 per day. Her liver was chewing up the Dilantin fast. Free levels would not remain in the therapeutic range. The third day, in the afternoon, she began having seizures in serial fashion. She was then transferred to the PICU and loaded with Phenobarbital, did stop the seizures, she stayed in the PICU for five days. Topomax was added to the AED regimen. She was moved back to the floor for five more days, then discharged home on those three meds. During the 1st three days in the hospital, they did a repeat spinal tap, MRI, and an EEG. The infectious disease unit also got involved in the CSF and blood tests, sending out for all sorts of tests. She had a repeat EEG in her room on Thursday (day 5) which captured an 8 minute seizure. Her seizures were classified as complex partial, secondarily generalized, multifocal. She lost consciousness, and did experience tonic-clonic convulsive movements that were observed on both sides; but not simultaneously. During the first several episodes, she also lost bladder control and one time she vomited. She also received Diastat on several occasions to stop the seizures. Sometimes she seemed to respond to it; sometimes not. It is now six and a half months later, she is on her fifth different AED combination, and the seizures remain uncontrolled. She has epilepsy. The 60 day follow up states intractable seizures; AED therapy ongoing but ineffective; surgical evaluation opinion is unanimous in opposition to surgery in the pt's case. Doc 211184 states that seizures have diminished in frequency from a peak of 45-50 per month during 6 months; of 2001 (march-august) to 15-20 per month from september to the present. Diagnosed with encephalopathy of unknown origin.

Symptoms: Anorexia, Crying, Injection site erythema, Injection site mass, Injection site swelling
Clinical narrative: Immediately, during injection, baby was crying hysterically. When I picked him up he fell asleep instantly (a deep sleep). He would not awaken through walking to car and going into car seat (this is unusual for him). He slept on car ride and also when he was removed and still sleeping, placed on bed. I tried to wake him to breast feed as he was over due to eat. He would not wake up. I tried rousing him several times but I couldn't get him up until 19:00. This is not usual for him. Still refused to nurse. Finally at 19:30, he nursed but after that cried hysterically. Fell asleep again and slept several more hours. He woke at around midnight again. Next day was awake and alert as usual but had large red and swollen egg type lump at the injection sites. Both done next to each other, so don't know which caused the problem. Swelling lasted 4 days. Doctor said, before administrating it, that there are zero possible side effects so I didn't report them to her, immediately, as it would have fallen on deaf ears.
