Symptoms: Abnormal behaviour, Cardiac arrest, Convulsion, Death, Respiratory failure
Clinical narrative: The patient was vaccinated by his pediatrician on the the morning 10/29/07.  On the way home, patient experienced seizure activity, and his mother returned to the office of his pediatrician.  He was then taken to a local ER, where he was intubated for persistent seizure activity.  After a period of stability after being intubated, the patient experienced cardiac arrest and was resuscitated for a reported period of 45 minutes.  He was noted to have pupils that were fixed and dilated before transfer to the PICU at hospital.  Patient was placed on an epinephrine drip by transport, and he went into ventricular fibrillation en route to the PICU, for which he received defibrillation and lidocaine.  He arrived to the PICU with initially weak femoral pulses which became non-palpable within minutes of his arrival.  He received chest compressions for about 5 minutes along with epinephrine, calcium, and bicarbonate before his pulses returned.  A CT scan of the head was performed that showed lack of gray-white differentiation consistent with severe hypoxic-ischemic injury.  On 10/30/07, two formal neurological exams were performed greater than six hours apart by the attending physician.  Both exams showed the patient to have cessation of all cerebral and brainstem activity consistent with brain death.  On 10/30/07, Dr. pronounced the patient's death at 16:23.  The county coroner was contacted, and an autopsy is expected to be done.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from the FDA (VAERS# 288995) via the CDC concerning a 33 month old female patient whose birth weight was 101b.1 ox with oseophageal acid reflux, at 3:34 PM was vaccinated with the second dose of Rotateq (LOT# 656384/0237U). Concomitant vaccinations included DTaP, second dose intramuscular in the left leg, (LOT# C2554AA) (manufacturer unknown), HIB conj-hepatitis B vaccine, second dose intramuscular in the right leg, (LOT# UF09AA) (manufacturer unknown), poliovirus vaccine, second dose, (LOT# 20326) (manufacturer unknown) and Prevnar, second dose intramuscular in the right leg, (LOT# b36258). Other concomitant therapy included omeprazole (PRILOSEC). On 14-MAY-2007, the patient developed symptoms of intussusception. On 17-MAY-2007, the patient presented to the ER with a 3 day history of abdominal pain, vomiting and bloody stool. On physical exam the patient had a (+) systolic ejection murmur. During hospitalization the patient underwent a KUB x-ray that was suspicious for intussusception and air contrast enema was performed which confirmed ileocolic intussusception which was successfully reduced. On 18-MAY-2007, the patient was discharged. A lot check has been requested. The records of testing prior to release of the lot in question has been rechecked and found to be satisfactory. The lot met the requirements of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and was released. No further information is available.
