He was reportedly developing normally and active, as well as interacting and following directions very well. He was saying words at 9 months of age.

Clinical narrative: The pt received IPV and a 4th dose of  Infanrix at the same time on 1/24/01. On 1/26/01, the pt experienced a seizure witnessed by her mother at home. According to the mother, the pt sat down on the floor, "got a funny look on her face", fell to the side, hit her head on the floor and began convulsing. Her eyes rolled back, she stiffened her body and soon after she began to jerky synchronously. She became cyanotic and apneic. Her parent started CPR; then the pt vomited a large amount, became very irritable, was transported by EMS to the ER and was hospitalized. By 2 1/2 minutes into the episode, the pt had relaxed her body and had begun breathing more normally but appeared very dazed. It was not until approx. 10 minutes after the episode had occurred that she began to cry and respond to her mother. When she arrived in the ER, she was afebrile and fairly alert and reactive. No abnormalities were found on physical exam. No focal point of infection or problem was found. No drugs were used to treat the adverse event. The pt was re-hydrated with IV fluids. No subsequent seizure occurred. On the afternoon of 1/27/01, she developed a red, macular rash over most of her abdomen and chin as well as parts of her extremities; the rash appeared to be secondary to exposure to a chemical in the linen. Her abdomen was significantly distended with gas. Additionally, the pt had some clear rhinorrhea, some watery eyes and a loose cough had developed "suggesting an underlying or additive viral infection". The pt was discharged on 1/27/01 to home. Dimeticone (Mylicon) was prescribed with 2 droppers full or 1.2ml to be given 3 to 4 times a day until her abdomen emptied the retained gas. The physician recommended Triaminic Cold and Nighttime cough syrup; 1 teaspoon 3 to 4 times daily as needed for cold and cough. The physician prescribed mometasone furoate (Elocon cream) 15g tube which was to be applied to the rash twice daily until it was clear. The parents were instructed to use ibuprofen (Advil) 1 teaspoon every 6 hours for any fever greater than or equal to 100.1F. Discharge dx: seizure, probable encephalopathy secondary to DTAP vaccine on 1/25/01; metabolic acidosis; dermatitis secondary to linen. The reporter stated that the adverse events were life-threatening and possibly related to Infanrix. This case is also considered "Medically Serious". The viral infection had not resolved by 1/27/01. As of 3/16/01, the outcome of the events is recovered.
