Clinical narrative: Report A0370552A describes unresponsiveness in a 9 month old male who received hep B vaccine recombinant (Engerix-B). This report was received from the vaccinee's mother and has not been verified by a physician or other healthcare professional. The pt's medical history included Down's syndrome and hydrocephalus. The vaccinee reportedly had not experienced any adverse events following previous vaccinations. Concomitant medication included Zantac. The mother stated that on unspecified dates, her son received his first and second injections of hep B vaccine Recombinant (Recombivax-HB). On 04/26/2002, the vaccinee received his third injection of hep B vaccine recombinant (Engerix-B) at a dosage reported as .05. The lot number reported was S230AZ; which is  not a valid Engerix-B lot number. In the evening of 04/26/2002, the vaccinee was reported to have became "extremely irritable"; he was "not like him at all." this adverse event reportedly resolved a few hours later. On 04/27/2002, the vaccinee reportedly had the following events: "very tired, very listless," "started fluttering of eyes" and would not eat for two days. The events of "very tired, very listless," "started fluttering of eyes" resolved on the same day, while the event not eating did not resolve until 04/28/2002. Beginning on 04/29/2002, the vaccinee reportedly was "pale and lifeless, would not respond to us at all" and had a "bright red rash on face." The mother reportedly sought ER attention on 04/29/2002 because of her son's unresponsiveness. The ER reportedly subsequently transferred the vaccinee to the hospital because of his history of Down's syndrome and hydrocephalus. The reporter stated that her son "stayed overnight" at the hospital. The mother stated that her son "did not have high fever." The outcomes of the adverse events unresponsiveness and rash were unknown. Additional info has been requested. On 11/4/02, the vaccine provider reported that the vaccinee was observed in the hospital overnight because of possible seizure-like movements. The results of an EEG were interpreted as normal. The vaccine provider stated that the events resolved and were possibly related to Engerix B administration.

Vaccine: DTAP, HBHEPB, IPV
Symptoms: Crying, Encephalitis, Fatigue, Impaired healing, Irritability
Clinical narrative: 10/06/00-10/09/00: She seemed to be getting stuffy. Had an existing reflux problem but spitting up was never an issue. After the vaccine she started spitting up after most feedings. Crying a lot; 20 minutes at a time, hard to console. She seemed a little paler than usual. October 10: called pediatrician saying she was very stuffy, watery eyes, waking up from sleep crying, very fussy. She had a fever of 101.1 asked if this could be from the vaccine and they said no. I was told she probably had a cold and that a fever of 101 was safe for a 2 month old. They told me to increase her Pepsid dose ot help with the spitting up, put cold compresses on her to reduce her fever, and to aspirate her nose to help her breathe. Over next week she seemed low energy, slept a lot more, cried a lot, seemed 'zoned out," not her normally alert, responsive self, continue to be paler than normal. The following week she seemed to be little better: less crying, still seemed pale and low energy, sleeping and zoning out a lot. Still a little pale. October 30: 3month birthday. I consulted my new mother journal and realized she had been babbling prior to the vaccine and this had stopped immediately after. Did research and found that kids may quit babbling because they are deaf. We home tested with extremely loud noises and found she had lost her hearing. We took her to the pediatrician who confirmed she was having problems but told us not to worry because "kids sometimes go through a phase like this." He scheduled us to have a hearing test done on 11/27/2000. 11/17/2000. Took the pt to see a homepath. Doctor diagnosed that the pt had suffered encephalitis from the vaccine. Unsure which due to the large number given at once. He did a craniosacral treatment on her and gave us a remedy: opium. She responded quickly to the remedy. We noticed a difference in her within 48 hours. Three days later we tested her and it was obvious her hearing was returning. Within the week she was 80% back to the child prior to the vaccine. Hearing tests with audiologist on 11/27/00 confirmed that her hearing was back 100%. Follow-up with pediatrician: reported results and he did not acknowledge the diagnosis. He told us they don't give out adverse reaction info because they feel "the vaccines are so safe now there's no need to." After the face they sent us the information with a letter apologizing for not doing so at the appropriate time. We switched from out pediatrician to our family physician. He would not record or acknowledge that she had a vaccine reaction so we switched to our current family doctor. She had been on metroclopromide three weeks prior to the vaccine.
