Clinical narrative: The vaccinee's attorney alleged that the child was "born healthy and with normal Apgar scores". The pediatrician's summary sheet indicated that there were no problems during pregnancy. The infant was delivered vaginally. In the hospital's nursery, the infant had "possible" jaundice. Concurrent conditions and medications at the time of immunization were not provided. The child received injections of Engerix-B on 5/18/94 (lot ENG1334B2), 6/24/94 (lot ENG1364A2) and 11/18/94 (lot ENG1472A2). He also received an injection of Hep-A vaccine on 1/21/98.

He also received varicella vaccine (Varivax) on 5/27/98. The pt's attorney alleged that the child "had been developing normally and meeting his age-appropriate developmental milestones. He began to regress at 18 months of age, however, and now suffers from disintegrative autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) caused by mercury toxicity". The attorney alleged that the source of the mercury was the thimerosal preservative contained in the vaccines the child received. The attorney stated  that the pt "is currently receiving medical treatment to remove the mercury from his body. As the mercury levels in his body have decreased, the (parents) have noted some improvement in his symptoms. Despite this improvement, however, his severe neurological and other ASD related disorders are permanent in nature." The pediatrician's medical records indicated that the physician assessed the child's developmental, behavioral and emotional progress to be "abnormal". The only dx recorded in the medical records forwarded by the attorney was pervasive developmental disorder. This report of autism, mercury poisoning, neurological injury and pervasive developmental disorder is considered "Medically Serious".
