Vaccine: FLU(H1N1)
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Burning sensation, Dysstasia, Fall, Hypoaesthesia
Clinical narrative: I was in bed sleeping, and heard our dog whine to go outside. I went to get out of bed, and fell right to the floor. I could not feel my legs, but they were not tingling like they were "asleep"...they just felt "dead". I could not stand up for about 5 minutes. I could move my legs, but could not really "feel" them. The closest thing I could equate it to was like having an epidural that numbed my legs from mid thigh and down. I tried several times to stand, and after a few minutes, I was able to crawl up the footboard and "get my legs under me". When I would try to walk, they would respond, but sluggishly. It took a few more minutes before I was able to walk fairly normally again. Two nights later, about 5:00 pm, I was sitting at the dining room table, and both knees felt like they were on fire, with intense aching. That lasted for about 1/2 hour, then went away. I'm not a sick person--I have an immune system that is like a tank. These two incidents were WEIRD. Not being able to walk was very startling.

Clinical narrative: Awakened with moderately severe neck pain and stiffness (unexplainable by any recent physical activity), and frontal headache or/and  sinusitis but without yellow or green discharge. This was followed by onset around 12:00 noon of myalgia, arthralgia, and fairly severe fatigue, all of which worsened over course of the afternoon. These Sx were partially relieved by acetaminophen. Afebrile throughout. I should note that 45 min. after the vaccination I had a brief episode of asthmatic Sx/shortness of breath, and tightness in throat, relieved by taking 50 mg of diphenhydramine PO, however these may have been unrelated to vaccine and due to pre-existing asthma and allergies. By approximately 9:00 PM yesterday I also had soreness and slight induration and heat around injection site, all resolved by this morning and far milder than a previous local reaction last month to Pneumovax.

Symptoms: Blood glucose decreased, Computerised tomogram normal, Convulsion, Hypoglycaemia, Incorrect dose administered
Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a healthcare professional (the subject's daughter) and described the occurrence of hypoglycemia in an 86-year-old female subject who was vaccinated with FLULAVAL (GlaxoSmithKline). Concurrent medical conditions included ALZHEIMER'S disease, anxiety depression, dementia, hyperlipidemia, OCD and tendency to fall. Previous and/or concurrent vaccination included FLULAVAL (GlaxoSmithKline; unknown; unknown) given on 3 October 2009. Concurrent medications included ARICEPT, ZOLOFT, PRILOSEC, WELLBUTRIN and Clonazepam. On 4 October 2009 the subject received 2nd dose of FLULAVAL (unknown, left arm), and experienced an extra dose administered. On an unspecified date (a few days) after administration of FLULAVAL, the subject experienced nasal congestion. On 12 October 2009, 8 days after vaccination with FLULAVAL, the subject experienced hypoglycemia and (some) seizure activity. A few days after administration of FLULAVAL. The subject was hospitalised and the healthcare professional considered the hypoglycemia, (some) seizure activity, strong nasal congestion and extra dose administered were disabling, life threatening and clinically significant (or requiring intervention). Relevant test results included blood glucose of 20 in October 2009, and Computed tomography scan ruled out a stroke in October 2009. At the time of reporting the outcome of the hypoglycemia, seizure activity, severe nasal congestion and extra dose administered were unspecified. The nurse reported that the subject received two doses of FLULAVAL (first dose on 3 October 2009 and the second dose on 4 October 2009). The subject developed severe nasal congestion a few days after administration of FLULAVAL. A week later (12 October 2009) the subject was hospitalized for hypoglycemia and some seizure activity. The subject's blood sugar dropped to 20 and had seizures. The reporter did not know if the extra dose administered was related to the subject's hospitalization nor was it known why the subject's blood sugar was low. A CT scan was done and ruled out a stroke. No further information was provided at the time of this reporting.

Clinical narrative: This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy in a 58-year-old female subject who was vaccinated with LYMERIX (GlaxoSmithKline), Hepatitis A vaccine. The subject was previously healthy. On an unspecified date, the subject received 1st dose of LYMERIX (unknown route, unknown injection site), unspecified dose of Hepatitis A vaccine (unknown route, unknown injection site). Lot numbers were not provided. Within days of vaccination with Hepatitis A vaccine and LYMERIX, the subject developed headaches, stiff neck, and dry mouth. In subsequent weeks, she experienced diarrhea alternating with constipation, atrial fibrillation, leg edema, memory loss, and poor concentration in addition to the neuropathy symptoms (paresthesia of hands and feet, mild vibratory loss in feet and pinprick sensation decreased in toes and hands). The symptoms fluctuated and persisted at the time of presentation, which was two months to six years after symptom onset. Nerve conduction studies were within normal limits. Skin biopsy studies revealed decreased epidermal nerve fiber (ENF) densities in the calf. Calf: 2, 3; Thigh: normal. This case was assessed as medically serious by GSK. At the time of reporting the outcome of the events was unspecified.
