Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a healthcare professional (a nurse, also the subject) and described the occurrence of bloody diarrhea in a 51-year-old female subject who was vaccinated with FLULAVAL (GlaxoSmithKline). Concurrent medical conditions included gastroesophageal reflux disease, high blood pressure and irritable bowel syndrome. Concurrent medications included PRILOSEC and lisinopril. On 1 December 2008 at 11:20 the subject received unspecified dose of FLULAVAL at 0.5 ml in the right arm. On 2 December 2008, at 18:00, the subject experienced bloody diarrhea. Also on 02 December 2008, the subject's injection site was very swollen and red due to the medical assistant not properly administering the vaccine into the deltoid muscle. This was considered to be an incorrect route of drug administration. On 03 December 2008, the subject experienced very loud ringing in both ears which she never experienced before. This persisted constantly and was still continuing at the time of reporting. Following the next several days, the subject experienced excruciating pain (even hurt her ears to talk) and pressure in the left ear with sensitivity to noise and sound. She reported that "even her own voice sounded strange." It was reported that her left ear was slightly worse than her right. The subject was hospitalised and the healthcare professional considered the events were disabling, life threatening and clinically significant (or requiring intervention). She visited an otolaryngologist who placed a slit in her tympanic membrane which did not help. She was placed on low dose course of prednisone with no change. Then she was placed on a 14 day high dose of steroid course and 10 day course of AUGMENTIN with no relief. At the time of reporting the outcome of the events was unspecified. The healthcare professional considered the events were probably related to vaccination with FLULAVAL. In January 2009 and MRI was normal. A CT scan showed bilateral semicircular canal dehiscence which she had a plugging surgery  on 31 July 2009. This resulted in no symptom improvement except she no longer felt eye movement. It hurt to talk or to listen and hear. In December 2009, she stopped producing saliva and tears due to damage to her salivary glands. This resulted in dry gritty eyes and she was only able to produce 5 ml of tears in five minutes. She also experienced gum recession and sores in her mouth due to this affect on salivary glands. Attribution of these later events to treatment with FLULAVAL was not reported.

Vaccine: HEPAB
Symptoms: Injection site pain
Clinical narrative: This case was reported by a healthcare professional and described the occurrence of injection site burning in a female subject of unspecified age who was vaccinated with TWINRIX (GlaxoSmithKline). There were no concurrent medications. Previous vaccination included 1st and 2nd doses of TWINRIX administered on unspecified dates. On 19 January 2010 the subject received 3rd dose of TWINRIX (unknown). On 19 January 2010, less than one day after vaccination with TWINRIX, at an unspecified time after vaccination with TWINRIX, the subject experienced injection site burning and injection site soreness. The healthcare professional considered the events were clinically significant (or requiring intervention). The burning sensation resolved, but the soreness at the injection site was still unresolved at the time of reporting. The healthcare professional considered burning at injection site to possibly be related to treatment with TWINRIX and soreness at the injection site as probably related. Both the burning and soreness at the injection site was experienced when she received her first two injections of TWINRIX, but they were not as severe as what she experienced with the 3rd injection of TWINRIX on 19 January 2010. No further information was known at the time of reporting.

Symptoms: Activities of daily living impaired, Arthralgia, Insomnia, Pain in extremity, Pyrexia
Clinical narrative: Beginning four or five hours after receiving pneumonia vaccine, I had excruciating pain in my arm and shoulder, and a fever, for about 18 hours. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would have rated that pain a 10. It was still severe enough to be crippling for about a week and a half (very painful getting clothes on and off, painful trying to sleep in any position, very difficult to get up off couch or toilet). By a month after receiving the vaccine, the pain was occasionally a 3 or 4, more often 1 or 2--with, often, no pain for hours. Now, three months after receiving it, I still have minor aching in that shoulder every day, but it's no longer a significant problem. If this is permanent, I can live with it. (I never attempted to "treat" it in any way.)

Clinical narrative: The symptoms that occured were shooting nerve pains that went straight up both of my legs at the same time into the center of both buttock cheeks.  I had "painful neuropathy and myopathy", to the extent that my Doctor put me on Lyrica 75mg 2 times per day. By this time, I was already beginning not to feel well and had just returned from an airflight. I had a full blown sinus infection. He believes at this time with the symptoms that I described that it may well have been a reaction to the "preservative" in the seasonal flu vaccine. I continue to this day to be on the Lyrica at 150 mg 2x per day. I am attempting to wean off back to 75 mg per day. The pain has diminished significantly, however, I continue with weakness, tender muscles and neuropathy above my knees. I am also experiences muscle spasms in various places in my arms, chest muscles.

Clinical narrative: Discoloration on my right forearm (which was the injection arm) of about 5 1/2 centimeters; a narrow red strip which I took to be a bruise.  Its presence was a surprise, as I had no recollection of any cause of which I was aware.  There does not appear to be any break in the skin, and there is no pain associated with the rash; it does, however, resemble the picture of shingles in the Zostavax literature, and has remained unchanged in the last two or three days.  This may indeed be a bruise and therefore, a coincidence, but as one who is curious, I wanted to report to you.
