At an unspecified time post-immunization, the child died. A claim was filed that asserts that the death was caused by thimerosal. Thimerosal was not used as a preservative in Infanrix lot DTPA989A2.

Clinical narrative: The adverse events started the week before 11/19/02.  I was having numbness in my left arm.  I also was having problems in steadying a shotgun and hitting the target in practice.  I felt very unsteady on a ladder. All of this is hindsight information.  In the early morning of 11/19/02 I was in an operating room as a medical student and started getting an exteremely bad headache.  On rounds at 6am I found myself running into doors/wall and the headache worsening.  I went home thinking I had a bad migraine from staying up all night. When I awoke at 10:30 am I was paralyzed on the left side of my body completely.  I crawled to the phone and called 911.  By the time I was at the hospital I was in status epilepticus.  I was given Dilantin, Phenobarbital, and Depakote to control the seizures. When they found what they though was a brain tumor they gave me Propofol and placed me in an induced coma. On 11/21 I underwent a brain biopsy which ruled out a tumor. My intracranial pressure increased to dangerous levels by 11/23/04 and a ventriculostomy tube was inserted to control the pressure. When all the infectious diseases came back negative I was placed on IVIG and steroids.  My outlook improved and by 12/11 I was removed from the induced coma.  I was transferred to another hospital on 12/16/02 for rehabilitation.  On 1/3/03 I was released from inpatient rehab and sent to outpatient rehab until 3/15/03.  Then On 11/23/03 I had a grand mal seizure after being back on rotations for 2 months.  I have struggled with simple partial seizures since then and just now are starting to get them under control.  Nurse follow up on 10/30/04 states: "No new information." Per annual report- Partial seizure disorder treated with 200 mgLemictal BID & 2g Keppra BID.  Pt has sensation problem in left leg, coordination problem in gross motor function such as playing sports.  Has also developed cluster headaches.  Pt is a medical student and having problems with concentration esp under time constraints. Medical records state encephalitis, apnea, rash and allergic reaction. msv
