Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a physician concerning an otherwise healthy 32-year-old female patient who in 1995 or 1996 was vaccinated with a first dose of VARVAX vaccine. Prior to vaccination, the patient developed aseptic meningitis. Subsequently the patient received the second dose of VARVAX vaccine and approximately 4-5 weeks later developed aseptic meningitis. On 27-FEB-2000 the patient was admitted to the hospital for her experience. A lumbar puncture was performed adn the CSF Wbc's were 754. There had been '5 more episodes of aseptic meningitis where the patient's CSF paraneters were clearly indicative of viral meningitis. The patient is being treated with acyclovir 10 mg. It was noted that this is the patient's fifth hospitalization. Additionally, it was reported that the patient experienced the normal symptoms such as photophobia, fever, etc. with each episode and recovered after each incident without residual. The physician belives that it may be herpes simplex meningitis or that it may be secondary to the VARVAX vaccine. On 29-FEB-2000, a CSF specimen was to have been sent to university for PCR analysis.
