Symptoms: Herpes zoster, Herpes zoster oticus, Neuropathy peripheral, Pain, Peripheral nerve palsy
Clinical narrative: Information was received from a lawyer regarding a case in litigation involving a female patient, age and medical history not provided. In 2013 the patient was inoculated with ZOSTAVAX vaccine at a pharmacy for routine adult health maintenance and the prevention of shingles. The vaccine did not prevent shingles as intended and the patient subsequently contracted a persistent strain condition of herpes zoster. On or about 01-MAR-2016 the patient was treated by a physician for a vesicular rash which was diagnosed as herpes zoster. The patient was prescribed KENALOG for her painful symptoms and chronic pain. On or about 11-MAR-2016 the patient again sought treatment by the physician for peripheral facial neuropathy which was diagnosed as Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, a peripheral facial nerve palsy secondary to herpes zoster infections. As a direct and proximate result of ZOSTAVAX or despite receiving ZOSTAVAX for prevention of shingles, the patient suffered painful injuries and damages and required extensive medical care and treatment. As a further proximate result, the patient has suffered and will continue to suffer significant medical expenses, pain, suffering and other damages. Upon internal review Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome was determined to be a medically significant event. Additional information has been requested.
