Vaccine: MMR, VARCEL
Symptoms: Rash papular, Skin ulcer, Urticaria
Clinical narrative: MMR #1 and Varicella #1 vaccines given 08/01/2003; 7 days later developed fever to 103.5, intermittently for 3 days which may have been associated with an otitis media.  About 2 weeks after vaccines, vaccine site developed progressive welt which appeared pruritic, had some serosanguinons drainage and crusted.  About 16 days after vaccines developed diffuse, predominantly maculopapular non-pruritic rash on trunk, arms, face with a few vessicles and crusted lesions.

Vaccine: RAB
Symptoms: Asthenia, Condition aggravated, Lymphadenopathy, Pyrexia, Splenomegaly
Clinical narrative: A 19 year old female patient, born 8/30/83, was vaccinated IM into the left musculus deltoideus with the first dose of Rabipur (batch # 314011) on 6/9/03 in the evening. On 6/16/03 in the evening she received the second dose of Rabipur (batch # 314011, same vaccination procedure). One day after the first vaccination increase of temperature lasting for one day and swelling of cervical lymph nodes lasting for two days occurred. One day after the second vaccination increasing swelling of cervical lymph nodes reoccurred, and the patient suffered from asthenia which increased over time. Tonsillitis was diagnosed a few days later. Infectious mononucleosis was the final diagnosis, and remarkable findings were splenomegaly and a significantly reduced platelet count (up to 18000/ul). At time of reporting (25 days after the second vaccination) the patient had nearly recovered. Both the thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly had improved but not resolved. This report was made due to the fact that the reporting physician suspected the vaccination to have worsened the thrombocytopenia, which he believed to be originally caused by the infectious mononucleosis. The reporter states that the infectious mononucleosis and its related symptoms were not caused by the vaccination. Seriousness criterion: medically significant (OMIC).

The pt was scheduled to have a second dose of varicella virus vaccine live on 08/24/2002. The pt recently moved and does not have a doctor at this time, therefore she did not seek medical attention. Follow-up info received from the pt indicated that she was not tested for varicella antibodies before vaccination with varicella virus vaccine live and that the vaccination was not given for immigration purposes. The pt identified her last menstrual period as 07/17/2002 and estimated date off delivery as 04/20/2003. On 09/12/2002, an ultrasound, done to check for ectopic pregnancy, showed a normal pregnancy. The pt reported that she had one previous pregnancy which resulted in a full-term delivery with no birth defects. The pt indicated that she had no previous pregnancies resulting in stillbirth or miscarriage. On 08/19/2003 the pt's father (who is a physician) reported that he did not check the pt's immunity before she received the vaccine due to the fact that he knew that she had never had chicken pox. His daughter had problems with this pregnancy and he stated "it had nothing to do with the varicella virus vaccine live". His daughter had an incompetent cervix and on approximately 08/29/2002, at 6 months gestation, she had a cerclage placement (he could not remember the specific date of the procedure). She was released from the hospital and her cervix continued to thin. His daughter was then hospitalized for 8 weeks and discharged on approximately 03/13/2003 at 34 weeks gestation. He also reported that his daughter did not have a history of incompetent cervix, stating at least it was never diagnosed, and she had delivered at term with her last pregnancy. On 03/27/2003 at 36 weeks gestation, the pt delivered a 6 lb., 11 oz., 18.5 inches long female. The infant had Apgar scores of 8 and 9. The pt's father reported that the baby was now 5 months old and had no problems. No further info is available. On 29-Mar-2004 it was reported that a glucose (POC) was noted to be low at 43 mg/dl. No further information is available.
