Symptoms: Eye movement disorder, Febrile convulsion, Musculoskeletal stiffness, Pyrexia, Viral infection
Clinical narrative: Febrile Seizure. This is a clinical trial report, Phase 4, open, comparative, multicenter study of the immunogenicity and safety of this vax. This report refers to an 18-month-old male (with recent history of otitis media) who 2 days post vax, became febrile, began vomiting and had an episode in which his eyes rolled back and body stiffened for approximately 3 minutes. He was transported to the emergency department because of fever and vomiting, no note was made of the eyes rolling back and body stiffening. Upon presentation at the hospital, the child's behavior was described as age appropriate and his rectal temperature was recorded as 103.4. He was dx with a viral infection. The child recovered without sequelae. The investigator indicated that the episode of eyes 'rolling back' and body stiffening was a febrile seizure and was suspected to be related to study vax, although the intercurrent viral infection and otitis media were acknowledged as possible contributing factors. The event was considered serious because it was medically important. Follow-up information received on 03/01/2000 has clarified that the investigator considered the previously reported events of vomiting, viral infection, otitis media and 'winter vomiting disease' to be non-serious.
