Symptoms: Anorexia, Gastritis, Lethargy, Liver function test abnormal, Vomiting
Clinical narrative: My son started throwing up the day following his immunizations on 11/17/00. He kept throwing up for 3 days so took him to ER. They couldn't do anything because he wasn't dehydrated. He threw up every day after the shots. Took him back to ER on 11/26/00. Took blood test and urine test and couldn't find anything. He kept throwing up. Took him to his MD on 12/7/00 and he prescribed Zyrtec and he kept getting worse. He was laying around and would not get out of bed all day. He wouldn't eat or drink. He still vomited. Finally took him to hospital on 12/9/00. They admitted him and have done a battery of tests on him and we are still waiting for results. They released him on 12/14/00 and he is still throwing up. One of the tests they did, showed his liver wasn't producing a protein called albumin or he was losing it somewhere in his body. Also they did a scope and his stomach was inflamed. It has been over a month now that he began vomiting and I still don't know what's causing this. When I took him to get his shots, he was a healthy 4 year old boy and why was he given 5 shots at one time? I didn't want him to have the varicella or the Prevnar at the time I took him to get his shots but while I was holding him she gave it to him anyway. (And how did that happen?) I was holding him and trying to watch my 16 month old little girl at the same time.  60 day follow-up states the pt continues to throw up.

Vaccine: FLU3
Symptoms: Bone disorder, Coordination abnormal, Hypersensitivity, Hypoaesthesia, Pain
Clinical narrative: Pt comes in because of numbness on the bottom of her feet, distal and buttocks. Onset this evening, post vax, flu shot. Dx'd with probable flu shot reaction, non-allergic. Did offer some anti-histamine with Claritin for 7 days to blunt the symptoms. If she gets any further symptoms, she will call. Now her symptoms over the last 48 hours are beginning to progress in the left leg as well. She is having a hard time ambulating due to discomfort. She has some difficulty with walking on her heels. There is an apparent element of a sensory ataxia. Possible inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. Her progression has been slow, although I think that it would be prudent to begin IV gamma globulin in this context. Consult with another MD and he agrees that most likely it is a radiculopathy from spinal narrowing, possibly spinal stenosis.
