On 9/5/01, the pt experienced a "probable, post vax, seizure" and was hospitalized overnight for observation. This was originally reported by an RN. Additional information has been requested. Follow-up info from the registered nurse reported that on 9/5/01 the pt had been napping and according to the pt's mother, he woke up with severe screaming and then arched his back and thrust head backwards. His eyes were open, turned red, his lips and tongue were blue and he was foaming/babbling at the mouth. He ahd a momentary blank stare. The event lasted 30 seconds, then suddenly stopped and then baby continued to sleep. There was no eye deviation and no arm or leg jerking was noted. He was afebrile and did not vomit. The pt's mother called the office 5 minutes later stating that the child was acting normal but sleepy. The baby was seen at the physician's office and was afebrile, sleeping, however awakened easily with his exam, appeared normal and was alert with a good suck. He was then admitted to the hospital for observation. EEG and labs. Upon admission to the hospital, the pt was assessed and he was febrile and his color was pink.

His neck was supple without masses or adenopathy. His chest was clear. His cardiovascular exam showed a regular rate and rhythm and normal S1, S2 without S3, S4 or murmur. His abdomen was soft without hepatosplenomegaly, masses or tenderness. His extremities were without deformity. His genitourinary exam reported that he was a normal male, circumcised with bilaterally descended testicles. His skin was without rashes and his tone was normal. The physician's assessment was a probable seizure, post vaccination. Possible breath holding spell. The plan ws to evaluate for any other seizure etiology and observe him for 24 hours with monitoring, EEG and labs. Upon admission, the physician reported that if his labs and EEG were all normal, the physician was "going to presume that this was a mild seizure, secondary to his DTP and would recommend no further pertussis." The pt's EEG, WBC, creatinine, urea, electrolytes and blood glucose level were all normal. The pt was discharged from the hospital on 9/6/01 and subsequently recovered. This was originally reported by a registered nurse. No further info is expected.
