Clinical narrative: On 12/10/01 a report was received from a nurse regarding a 48 year old female patient who experienced flu-like symptoms after receiving the Fluvirin vaccine on 11/5/01. The patient has a history of hypertension and was taking Hyzaar for it. The patient was also taking Premarin, Allegra and Flonase. Previous exposure to the suspect product is unknown. The patient received the Fluvirin vaccine on 11/5/01 IM at the left deltoid muscle. On the same night, the patient experienced fatigue. On 11/01 the patient experienced radiating pain from the left shoulder down the left arm, then flu-like symptoms of aches and pain over the body. Some time later it was difficult for the patient to raise her left arm, and the left deltoid muscle became swollen and inflamed. The patient then developed a mass (size of a tennis ball) on the bottom side of the left arm and a sensation of fluid rushing around the chest. The patient recovered from the symptoms on 11/20/01. The reporter has assessed the causality relationship as possible because of the short time span between the injection and the first symptom.

Clinical narrative: I reported on 3/19/04 that I have Fibromyalgia.  Symptoms started within 3 months of vaccination.  Vaccination 3/03, symptoms started 6/03. I have now been diagnosed with a lupus-like illness. I have progressively deteriorated with increased joint pain, muscle spasms, and decreased concentration ability with memory loss. I lose my balance (ataxia) frequently. I also have excessive fatigue and my muscles weaken.  I have also developed a tremor in my entire body. I have been receiving medical attention since the vaccine.  The rheumatologist that diagnosed me with the fibromyalgia sent me to a neurologist who began testing me for various neurologial disorders including Multiple Sclerosis.  They could not get a definitive diagnosis for MS as I did not fit all of the criteria, although I do have an area of Demylination on my Brain.  My ANA for lupus comes back negative, but my clinical presentation suggest that I have lupus or something similar.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a physician concerning a 9 year old black male with a history of renal transplant in January 2004 secondary to end stage renal disease (ESRD) who on 16-AUG-2004 was inadvertently vaccinated in the left deltoid with a dose of varicella virus vaccine live. Concurrent medications included mycophenolate mofetil (CELLCEPT), tacrolimus (PROGRAFY), and prednisone. On 02-SEP-2004 (previously reported as "approximately one week later") the pt presented with a vesicular rash on his eyelids and ear canals, he was afebrile, and tested positive for VZV, varicella zoster virus. Unspecified medical attention was sought. The physician later reported that the pt was febrile and described the rash as a "diffuse vesicular, pruritic rash - looked like classic chickenpox" and also commented that there was greater than 100 lesions over the trunk, arms, face, etc. As reported by the pt's father the lesions were crusting and healing, then approximately two weeks ago (in October 2004) the child developed another rash thought to be molluscum. The child became super infected with staphylococcus and required antibiotic treatment. As of 11-Nov-2004, the pt had recovered. Tests were performed to type and verify the strain, wild type or varicella virus vaccine live and a specimen was collected from a vesicle type lesion and sent to the laboratory on 07-Sep-2004. As of 10-Dec-2004, the VZV strain was identified as vaccine type. It was noted that the pt had been hospitalized for 14 days (dates not reported). No product quality complaint was involved. Additional information is not expected.
