Clinical narrative: 12/3  Mother consulted physician due to fever and sinus infection. Prescribed Augmentin. 12/8 15 month well baby visit. Nurse was advised that child was on antibiotics for infection and questioned whether or not he should receive vax. Doctor advised that there should be no problem. 12/18 child returned to pediatrician with continued sinus infection-green discharge from nose, cough, congestion, temperature normal. Antibiotic was prescribed. Approximately 5.5 hours later, child cried once from crib. Mother picked him up and noted he was having a seizure. Called 911. Child was having trouble breathing at this point. In ambulance, temp was 104.7. Child stopped breathing and paramedics began intubation procedures. At this point he began breathing on his own and they ceased the procedure. Seizing subsided approximately 20-25 minutes after onset. At hospital, a Tylenol enema was administered for the fever. Pt was lethargic. When pt began to move about it was noted that he was not moving his right arm or leg (right hemiparesis). A CAT scan was performed. He was then transferred to a medical center having a pediatric neurologist. Parents were informed that child had suffered from Todd's paralysis which commonly follows febrile seizures and paralysis should resolve in a few hours. Four to 5 hours later, full movement returned. Spinal tap was performed to rule out spinal meningitis. Parents were informed that child had experienced a complex febrile seizure. EEG was performed to rule out brain damage or abnormalities due to difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen (he had turned blue during seizure). 60 day follow-up dated 7/10/00 provided no additional data.
