Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a lawyer and described the occurrence of joint pain in a male subject of unspecified age who was vaccinated with LYMErix for prophylaxis. A physician or other health care professional has not verified this report. On an unspecified date the subject received unspecified dose of LYMErix (unknown). On an unspecified date after vaccination with LYMErix, the subject experienced joint pain, fatigue, memory loss, flu-like symptoms, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, visual problems, rashes, decreased activities of daily life, rheumatologic, neurologic and/or cognitive impairment of an autoimmune, immune-mediated, or other mechanism. At the time of reporting the outcome of the events was unspecified. This information was received via a Statement of Injuries. Follow up information was received on 22 June 2007 via medical records. The subject was a male in his forties with a history of tick bites in June 1999. Medical history also included bilateral arthroscopic knee surgeries due to meniscal tears. the subject was vaccinated with LYMErix on 14 June 1999, 12 July 1999, and 25 July 2000. Approximately one year following immunization, the subject was reportedly evaluated for arthritis of the knees. In December 2001 underwent knee surgery, followed by recurrent knee pain. On 06 May 2003 he was evaluated for a second opinion regarding knee pain. He noted "some catching" in the knee without swelling, and he was diagnosed with 1) possible lateral compartment early arthritis and/or 2) possible lateral meniscus tear. On 28 October 2003, he was seen for a diagnosis of degenerative arthritis, and complained of knee, hip, and leg pain described as a "burning pain that travels down the lateral aspects of his leg into his foot". The symptoms were treated with cortisone injection. In May 2004, he reported experiencing occasional knee pain treated with Aleve, but was not receiving daily arthritis medication. On 26 April 2001, the subject complained of right leg pain and was diagnosed with thrombophlebitis. On 11 July 2001 he complained of chest pain and a "questionable nodule" was identified from x-ray; he was diagnosed with pleurisy. These were considered to be incidental findings upon review of medical records.
