Clinical narrative: A mother reported that her 4 month old daughter who had developed a respiratory syncytial viral infection and was treated with an unspecified medication at the end of of December, 1996 received her 2nd dose of Tri-Immunol and IPV on 01/20/97. According to the patient's grandmother, the patient was seen by the physician for persistent RSV symptoms that day. The patient was afebrile and immunizations were administered. Shortly thereafter, the patient was taken to her grandmother's home where she reportedly experienced inconsolable, high pitched crying and her leg was very swollen. Her crying resolved 5 hours later; she slept. Following these events, the patient was no longer alert, she had sleep disturbances and her sleeping pattern was "horrible". The patient now cried inconsolably for long periods of time and her eyes seemed "different; like someone scared." Her mother reported that she did not recognize anyone; her personality changed. She experienced seizures that day, light seizures like twitching. Her grandmother noticed her slight jerking movements. A physician's appointment was made. That night, her jerking and crying worsened and she was taken to the ER. A diagnosis of colic was made. The physician's appointment was cancelled; however, a short time later, the patient was requested to be seen in the office as soon as possible. Unspecified blood work was performed and the patient was admitted to the hospital on 02/03/97. An EEG was performed and a diagnosis of infantile spasms was made. The patient was treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone following her recovery from RSV. Numerous procedures and tests were performed including an MRI Scan, "Spec Scan", lumbar puncture, CAT Scan, and metabolic and genetic testing. According to the patient's grandmother, "nothing shows up". She was prescribed a ketogenic diet and has had a vagus nerve stimulator inserted. She has been treated with unspecified medications. As of 04/24/01, the patient can walk and sit up. She cannot talk and cognitively, she is 6 months of age. The patient is incontinent and cannot feed herself with a spoon.

He also received Tetanus Toxoids Absorbed, Purogenated in 1994 at approx. 18 months of age. The mother reported that after her son's 'final series of vaccinations at age of 18 months', he developed autism. On either 7/25/95 or 7/26/95, he developed a fever of approx. 105F. Since that time, his mother watched him lose language skills and interest in interacting with other children. He was reportedly officially dx'd with autism at 3 years old."

Symptoms: Erythema, Joint stiffness, Rash, Rash macular, Rhinorrhoea
Clinical narrative: This report describes the occurrence of a probable toxic epidermal necrolysis / Stevens Johnson Syndrome in a 8.7 year old boy receiving Hepatitis B vaccine. On an unknown date, a dose of Hepatitis B vaccine was given. On the same day, after vaccination, the face of the child became red and "blotchy." He was given Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) and went to bed with a "runny nose." The next day, his face looked as if it had been sunburned and the rash spread to his abdomen and groin. The child was hospitalized with epidermal detachment, mucous membrane involvement and joint stiffness. The case was diagnosed by a dermatologist. The vaccination course has been discontinued. This case was classified by the authors as a probable Stevens-Johnson syndrome / toxic epidermal necrolysis. The authors made the following comments: "For the one definite and five probable cases, 2 features support a causal relationship between vaccination and SJS/TEN. First the patients did not have evidence of an acute illness and were not taking other medications at the time of the vaccination, reducing the chance the rash was caused by another etiology. Second the timing of the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of SJS/TEN after vaccination is consistent with the published literature on SJS and TEN after medication and infection." Nevertheless, they mentioned that a causal link between SJS/TEN and vaccination could not be established by this study for different reasons.

The physician stated that the child may have had a febrile seizure, however, it was not witnessed by anyone but the pt's mother. The child was taken to the ER where her temperature was 103F. She was treated with acetaminophen (Tylenol). The child had a 'barking cough' and a CXR was done and reported as normal. A CBC and blood culture were also done and came back normal. The child had recovered and was discharged from the ER to home with discharge dx of "fever, secondary to immunization". The child has no history of seizure or febrile seizure, but does have a history frequent otitis media infections. It was noted that the pt has had another episode of fever of 104F with cold symptoms. Upon internal review, the shaking of hands, feet and lips for 45 minutes, difficulty breathing and gasping for air, and fever secondary to immunization were considered to be "Other Important Medical Events".
