Clinical narrative: Viral Syndrome; Pneumonia; This 8-month-old female subject was enrolled in a blinded study titled Phase IIIB, Observer-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of GSK Meningococcal Group B Vaccine and 13-valent Pneumococcal Vaccine when Administered Concomitantly with Routine Vaccines to Healthy Infants. The subject received the 3rd dose of Bexsero vs Placebo (intramuscular, right thigh) on 07-JAN-2019, for prophylaxis. The subject received the 3rd dose of DTPa-HBV-IPV (intramuscular, left thigh) on 07-JAN-2019, for prophylaxis. The subject received the 2nd dose of Rotarix lyophilized formulation (oral) on 02-NOV-2018, for prophylaxis. The subject received the 3rd dose of Prevnar 13 (intramuscular, left thigh) on 07-JAN-2019, for prophylaxis. The subject received the 3rd dose of Hiberix (intramuscular, right thigh) on 07-JAN-2019, for prophylaxis.   On 16-MAR-2019, 68 days after receiving Bexsero vs Placebo, DTPa-HBV-IPV, Prevnar 13 and Hiberix and 134 days after receiving Rotarix lyophilized formulation, the subject developed severe - grade 3 pneumonia (Verbatim: Pneumonia). Serious criteria included hospitalization. Additional event(s) included severe - grade 3 viral syndrome (Verbatim: Viral Syndrome) on 23-MAR-2019 with serious criteria of hospitalization. The subject was treated with zinc oxide, salbutamol (Albuterol), oxygen, cefotaxime sodium (Omnicef), sodium chloride, sodium chloride (Normal Saline), paracetamol (Tylenol Infants), ibuprofen (Children'S Motrin) and ceftriaxone. The action taken with Bexsero vs Placebo, DTPa-HBV-IPV, Rotarix lyophilized formulation, Prevnar 13 and Hiberix was no change. The outcome of pneumonia was resolved on 02-APR-2019.

Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 08-MAY-2019  Eight month old with coughing and fevers that started on 16 Mar 2019. She was seen by her primary doctor on 20 Mar 2019 and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, no medications prescribed at this time, Mom was instructed to use a humidifier and give Tylenol or Motrin to reduce fevers. She returned to the clinic on 23 Mar 2019 for continuing fevers, cough, rhinorrhea and diarrhea. Per Mom her oral intake had decreased, though the physician diagnosed her with ongoing upper respiratory symptoms and viral syndrome. Due to worsening symptoms of cough, persistent fevers and decrease urine output she was advised by a physician to get care in the Emergency room on 25 Mar 2019. In the Emergency room she presented with respiratory distress and hypoxia requiring oxygen via nasal cannula. The child was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of pneumonia. Also labs were drawn and blood cultures were taken.  While in the hospital she required only the first night oxygen and weaned herself to room air with good saturations. But she required several days of additional hospitalization for poor oral intake and large diarrhea output. Intravenous hydration was started, antibiotics were given and Tylenol and Motrin was administered for fevers and pain. On 30 Mar 2019, the child was discharged home, as her "stool output had decreased, she was taking fluids orally without problems and did not need oxygen" to maintain saturations.  A blood culture was drawn on 27 Mar 2019 that showed "no growth to date" on the day of discharge. The child went home and finished off her course of antibiotics. By 02 Apr 2019, she was playful and interactive without any respiratory issues or diarrhea, per mom.   Follow-up information received on 06-Aug-2024 The subject received biogaria protectis baby at a dosage of 5 drops daily oral from 29-MAR-2019 00:00 to 30-MAR-2019 00:00 for Diarrhoea. The subject received D5 Sodium Chloride 0.9% Potassium Chloride 20 meq/L at a dosage of 5 ml CO intravenously from 29-MAR-2019 to 30-MAR-2019 for maintain IV patency. Later, received at a dosage of 28 ml CO intravenously from 26-MAR-2019 to 29-MAR-2019 for Hydration. Summary of changes: Treatment medication Ceftriaxone details (frequency) updated.  Follow-up information received on 30-AUG-2024 Summary of changes: Event Diarrhea deleted, seriousness GSK Medically Significant for event Pneumonia was removed and narrative updated.  Follow up information received on 11-Mar-2025 End of study Unblinding completed.; Sender's Comments: A case of Pneumonia and Viral infection, 68 days after receiving 3rd dose of Bexsero, Hiberix and DTPa-HBV-IPV and 134 days after receiving 2nd dose of Rotarix lyophilized formulation,  in a 8-month-old female subject. Report is inconsistent with causal relation to the vaccine product, considering implausible time to onset and absence of biological plausibility and alternative etiology (ParaInfluenza Virus 3 RNA, PCR exam Findings result "Positive").
