Clinical narrative: Case number PHEH2014US021804, is a combined initial and follow up spontaneous report received from a consumer (patient) on 27 Oct 2014, 31 Oct 2014 and from a healthcare professional (HCP) on behalf of an optometrist on 03 Nov 2014. This report refers to a 54 year old female patient. Her medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. She was vaccinated with FLUVIRIN (batch number: 1412201) via intramuscular route on 23 Oct 2014. On the same day following vaccination, she experienced continuous body ache, chills, pricking pain in her left ear, pain in left side of her leg as well as itchy eyes. She visited emergency room 03 to 04 times of a hospital but that did not help her. She visited emergency room of another hospital where she was given TORADOL at a dose of 60 mg which helped her pain. On 28 Oct 2014, she went to a doctor where diagnosis of neuropathy was made. She was given NEURONTIN for the treatment of neuropathy. Patient complained that her body was not the same since she received the vaccine. She was also having tears in her left eye. She had consulted an optometrist and would also visit a specialist in the coming month. It was reported that the patient was tired all the time and had no quality of life. She was feeling miserable and depressed. Final outcome for pain (body pain) was condition improving (better). Outcome for chills, pain in her left ear, pain in left side of leg, itchy eyes, neuropathy, tired all the time, feeling miserable and depressed was ongoing (condition unchanged). Seriousness assessment of neuropathy was upgraded based on information available in source documents. The HCP reported that the events were unrelated (not suspected) to FLUVIRIN. The optometrist also explained that the events were not related to FLUVIRIN.

Symptoms: Adenovirus infection, Eye infection viral, Eye pain, Feeling abnormal, Headache
Clinical narrative: This medically confirmed spontaneous report (initial receipt 27-Oct-2014) concerns a 51-year-old male patient. The patient had no known allergies. He had concurrent conditions of high blood pressure for the past 17 years and high cholesterol. His concomitant medications included lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide (for high blood pressure), rosuvastatin (for high cholesterol) and acetylsalicylic acid (for cardioprotection). The patient received flu vaccines (unknown brand) every year at the same facility for the past 10 years from the same immunizer without any complaint. On 13-Oct-2014, the patient received intramuscular AFLURIA (batch number T58106) at 0.5 ml. On 13-Oct-2014, after the vaccination at his place of work, the patient started to feel "really bad" with muscle aches, malaise, slight headache, nausea, and was diagnosed with herpes infection of the eye. He saw a ophthalmologist for the eye infection that he had experienced after AFLURIA administration and was instructed to apply ciprofloxacin eye drops in the affected eye for five days. The patient saw a second ophthalmologist who suspected the eye infection was caused by an adenovirus and prescribed antiviral lubricant eye drops. On 26-Oct-2014, the patient complained to the second ophthalmologist of severe eye pain (10/10 on pain scale) with severe vision impairment. On the same day, a diagnostic examination identified that the dendritic reaction was positive for herpes simplex virus. The patient was instructed to take oral acyclovir five times daily. The patient was never hospitalised and was still recovering from eye infection, his vision was less blurry but still impaired with reduction in eye pain. The outcome was reported as not yet recovered. However, the events of headache, muscle aches, malaise and nausea did not persist (recovered). Reporter's comments: The reporter assessed the case as serious. The reporter was absolutely certain that the herpes eye infection was caused directly by AFLURIA. Reporter suspected that herpes virus was dormant in the patient's system and became manifested as the eye infection after the proteins from AFLURIA activated the herpes virus by interacting with his immune system. Follow-up (28-Oct-2014): Reporter seriousness.

Clinical narrative: Patient felt things crawling on his legs and he screamed and cried for about 15 minutes. After that he was fine except for itching of the legs. The next night 11/05/2014, he woke up at 11:00 PM screaming that he saw koalas crawling on the walls and that they were going to get him. After screaming for 30 minutes, we contacted the Doctor on call and she stated that it was just night terrors. After he continued to scream that things were crawling on him for 1 hour we called back and asked if we should proceed to the emergency room. She stated only if we felt that it was necessary. When we arrived at the ER they took blood and completed a toxicology test that they said was clean and a test to check for a break down of enzymes that they also said came back clean. A charge nurse stated "It seems a little too late in the game to have anything to do with vaccinations" and walked out. After screamed for 45 minutes that something was crawling on his legs and that he was in pain, they gave him Benadryl and something to calm him down. He had at least 5 episodes like this over our stay at the hospital. The first day Dr. tried to send us home and stated that there wasn't anything that he could do for us. My child was screaming in pain and was still hallucinating. All of his shots were administered in his legs, the same places he was complaining of pain and that something was crawling on him. Dr. also stated that he didn't feel that this was a result to the immunizations because he had already had all of these shots before. This was the first time that he had the flu shot. Which my husband refused at first because he was already getting 4 other shots. The nurse told him it would be fine because they do it all of the time. In the hospital, I was given mixed stories as well. We were told after 2 doses of Benadryl that he would not receive any more. 1 nurse told me that it was because he was having reactions to it from the release of the antihistamines. Another nurse stated that he was having an allergic reaction to it. However, Dr. ordered him to take Claritin every 24 hours; which is also an antihistamine. Less than 12 hours later, another nurse tried to give him another does of the Claritin. I asked her about the doctors orders and she stated that she too was getting mixed information. Another physician ordered an EEG to be performed. On 11/07/2014. Dr. came in that morning to notify me that they would perform the EEG that morning and then I could go home. I asked him if I would know the results, and he stated that I would find out in several days or so. Patient was still having symptoms and I did not feel comfortable sending him home still having hallucinations and not having any other information as to what was causing them. That afternoon, we had the EEG and the results, we were told from the nurse, were clean. We still have not spoken to Dr. about the results of the EEG. We were dismissed from the hospital with patient still having itching.
