Age: 37.0
Sex: F
Vaccine: HEP
Symptoms: Nausea, Pyrexia, Red blood cell count decreased, Splenomegaly, Urine abnormality
Clinical narrative: This pt received first two doses of hepatitis B vax in 1988. On 02/18/00, she received the third. Within the same month, she experienced an increase in her liver function tests and was then dxed with Epstein-Barr virus. Follow-up information indicated that approximately 20 days post vax, on 03/10, she developed nausea, vomiting, elevated liver enzymes, lymphadenopathy in her neck, and urticaria on her body. The pt was initially seen in the physician's office and later in the week, 03/10, she presented to the ER and was admitted to the hospital. Labs were conducted. The physician noted on her admission that there was a possibility that she had a sub-clinical hepatic reaction to the vax. At the time of hospitalization, the etiology was unclear. Gallbladder ultrasound, CT abdomen scan were all within nml limits. The biliary tree was not dilated. The gallbladder appears to be very small, however, contracted and contained small ill defined opacities which may represent biliary sludge of tiny gallbladder calculi. The spleen was mildly enlarged and show homogeneous attenuation. The pancreas, adrenal glands and kidneys are within nml limits. There is no evidence of free fluid in the pelvic cavity. The impression was top normal size liver, mild splenomegaly, small contracted gallbladder, probably secondary to cholecystitis. There are small faint opacities with the lumen of the gallbladder calculi. The remainder of the CT scan was unremarkable. According to the physician, this pt was febrile to 103.1 F in the past, but currently afebrile. Other vitals were unremarkable. Ear, nose and throat assessment showed slight icterus. Significant lymphadenopathy in the anterior cervical chains were noted in the neck exam. Heart, lungs, abdomen, and neurologic exam nml. Extremities had no edema but showed urticaria on face, neck, trunk and arms. The impression was elevated liver enzymes with lymphadenopathy and urticaria, the differential of this condition is long, however the physician believed the possibility of two concurrent conditions was likely. He reported mononucleosis with concurrent chemical dermatitis; subclinical hepatitis from clinical agent causing contact dermatitis or subclinical hepatitis from Hepatitis B vax, possible common bile duct obstruction, concurrent dermatitis. The plan was hydration and observation. The pt was discharged on 03/11. She was observed and 3rd set of liver enzymes was significantly improved but bilirubin was essentially unchanged. She feels well, is eating, somewhat nauseated, but not vomiting. She was discharged to bed rest and was restart Medrol Dosepak and follow up with physician on 03/13.

Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Arrhythmia supraventricular, Back pain, Coordination abnormal, Dyspnoea, Hyperkinesia
Clinical narrative: My reaction was rather swift. On the eve of 10/27, I had a bothersome restlessness in my legs, but attributed it to being tired. This went away that night but returned the next 2 evenings. By Friday, I was experiencing the restlessness during the day at my desk at work as well. I took off work at lunch on Friday and went to the lumber store and while there felt a little lethargic and noticed that squatting required a little effort. That night sleep was a long time coming as I was tired enough that I should have been able to drop off immediately, but my legs were actually jumping off the bed and keeping me awake. After watching a video, to take my mind off the electrical impulses building in my legs, I went to bed again and eventually drifted to sleep. I awoke feeling even more lethargic, with minor lower back pain/ache and my legs now felt a little "heavy". I felt like I was getting the flu. Something strange I noticed that my feet tingled a little. That night I tried to jog across the parking lot for something I'd left in the truck, but my legs were rubbery and my feet felt like I was running on bowls of jello. It was so weird; I thought I was going to fall, but managed to stop without doing so. That night in bed, my legs convulsed worse than the the night before. The next morning, my legs felt like 2 huge sausages as I stumbled forward, then backward to rest on the edge of the bed. After a few seconds rest, I was able to shuffle to the bathroom where a more interesting phenomenon awaited me. The 5 minute wait for urination had become an exercise in leg-jumping every time I attempted to urinate, my leg would jump instead. This apparent cross-signaling panicked me, so I called my MD and was ordered to report to ER, immediately. I asked my wife to drive me there as I didn't think I could drive myself. I walked into ER under my own power, but over the course of the afternoon, I gradually lost sensation and motor ability. The paralysis gradually worked it's way up my legs and torso to stop just above my nipple level. Breathing became more difficult and my first 24 hours in ICU were spent waiting to see if I'd go on a ventilator. Today I'm a T1 level paraplegic, dx'd with transverse myelitis. I also have a decubitis ulcer and have shoulder cramps. Admitted to hospital 10/31/99 and discharged on 11/17/99. He had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune neutropenia and s/p splenectomy with anemia. The pt has developed a UTI. He was started on Cipro 500 mg.
