Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a consumer her approximately 12 month old daughter with no medical history who on approximately 25-Sep-2004, "when she was almost exactly one year old" was vaccinated with one dose of MMR II vaccine. There was no concomitant medication. The reporter believes that the patient has autism and other illnesses caused by the vaccine. In approximately 2004, "in the 12 months following vaccination" she notices a slow regression in the patient. It was reported that the patient had croup twice, her first and only ear infection and rotavirus. The mother noted that the patient was treated with acyclovir for the rotavirus and it caused a seizure. It was also noted that the child's posture deteriorated to the point where "the curl in her back was visible". The patient started getting sick all the time. She also started to distance herself from the family. She showed no interest in the baby sister and would always sit away from everyone. She cannot kick or throw a ball without falling over. It was reported that she would pace and flap her hands constantly until her parents got her intervention. The reporter indicated that physicians believe she may be "carrying viral encephalitis". Her measles titers have increased significantly from 1.4 to 2.42. She has "leaky gut syndrome" and "HHB6". She is being treated with IMIG once weekly to keep her from getting sick, but the child has been hospitalized over night at least once since being vaccinated (adverse experience not reported). At the time of the call, the reporter could not provide information regarding the specific reason for hospitalization or the length of time the patient was hospitalized. Regular measles titers and an EEG were done but results were not provided. It was reported that the patient was not recovered. Unspecified medical attention was sought. Upon internal review the patient's autism and encephalitis were considered other important medical events. Information received on 25-Jan-2007 contained the following adverse experience, seizure (approximately 2004). Upon internal review, the seizure was considered to be an other important medical event. No further information is available.
