Vaccine: RAB
Symptoms: Aphthous stomatitis, Arthralgia, Diarrhoea, Fatigue, Headache
Clinical narrative: 4 to 5 hours after first injection of a rabies vaccine 09/1998 had a fever of 102.7 for three days. Severe pain in all muscles and joints along with stiffness. Severe Flu like symptoms, stomach problems and overall feeling of ill health. Routine severe diarrehia. Severe Headache for approximately two years everyday at base of skull/top of neck which would not go away with any over the counter pain medication.     Four months after vaccine for the first time in my life suffered a severe cold sore on my upper lip. Have had routine canker sores inside my mouth ever since which correspond to severe pain in joints and muscles and stiffness.      For two years following vaccine (until 2000) was extremely fatigued many times sleeping for as much as 16 hours per day along with constant joint and muscle pain and stiffness.      From 2000 (until 2003 when treatment was sought) suffered periodically from severe fatigue. Suffered daily from severe muscle and joint pain and stiffness. Also routine severe headaches at base of skull/top of neck. An overall feeling of sickness including stomach problems and diarrehia.       Was put on numerous anti inflamatory drugs which didn't help i.e. Bextra, Mobic.      Was put on 20 miligrams of Prednisone for one week and stiffness and joint muscle pain decreased by 80 percent upon return visit. Stayed on Prednisone for one year while doctor tried numerous drugs to relieve symptoms so I could get off Prednisone.       Currently off Prednisone for three months and now taking Salsalate, Lexapro, Plaquenil, Folic Acid, Ultracet as needed for pain which are all working very well. Still suffer from slight pain, stiffness and swelling and sometimes redness everyday. Once or twice a month pain and stiffness will spike and become severe and need to take ultracet for pain for 2 or three days. Again canker sores, stomach problems, headache at base of skull and all over feeling of poor health correspond with increased joint and muscle pain and stiffness.     Stiffness continues to spread to more and more new joints over time.

Vaccine: SMALL, TD, TYP, UNK, YF
Symptoms: Hepatitis C virus
Clinical narrative: I feel this program is unfair. I was inoculated in boot camp with several of these vaccines. The problem lies upon the way it was administered. The use of an air injection gun was used to inoculate every one. If you were to flinch, the air gun would slice you open causing you to bleed. Then they would go right up to the next person and use the gun to inoculate him. Never once was the gun cleaned of the other persons blood. This has been confirmed as to the sorce of my contacting hepatitis-C. They didn't discover hepatitis-C until the early 1990's. It can take up to twenty years before the systems show up. Now what are we supposed to do? The VA does very little for a person who has contacted a disease that most likely will kill him. <y interferon treatment did not work.

Clinical narrative: Patient was vaccinated on 12/18/03 with DTAP.  Three weeks later he became lethargic and continued to get worse.  When we took him to the hospital our pediatrician recognized the possibility that it was encephalitis and was transferred.  There, he was diagnosed with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis.  Initially all the doctor's questions centered around his last vaccination.  However, he also tested positive for the flu although he had no flu sypmtoms other than an uncontrollable fever.  The final diagnosis was that it was a complication of the flu, but the doctors told us there was no way to know for sure if it was that or a reaction to the vaccination.  Nurse follow up on 06/30/04 states: "ADD: Nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of speech."

Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Injection site inflammation, Injection site reaction, Injection site swelling, Oedema peripheral
Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a nurse and described the occurrence of injection site redness in a 4 year old pt who received DTaP (Infanrix). On 11 May 2004, the pt received the fifth dose of Infanrix (lot DTPA612A9) in the right arm. The pt also received injections of MMR II and IPOL. At an unspecified time following the administration of Infanrix, the pt experienced an injection site reaction characterized as a red, raised and hot to touch area from the elbow to the shoulder, "around the site of injection for Infanrix." The pt also had arm inflammation manifested by his right arm being swollen twice its normal size affecting the area from the shoulder to the elbow. His right arm was itchy. The pt was seen at a physician's office and prescribed ice and Advil. The events resolved in 48 to 72 hours. (Date of resolution of symptoms reported as 14 MAY 2004.) The nurse considered the events to require intervention to prevent a serious outcome and to probably be related to vaccination with Infanrix.
