Clinical narrative: seizures/seizure disorder/loss of consciousness/blurry vision/hot sweats/neurological injuries/neurological dysfunction/ rapid heartrate/fatigue; temporary paralysis/weakness; autoimmune injuries/ autoimmune dysfunctions/ Gardasil-induced autoimmune disorder/autoimmune disease; autonomic injuries/ autonomic dysfunctions/; Information has been received from a lawyer regarding a case in litigation and refers to an adult female patient (pt) (exact age was not provided). The pt's concurrent conditions, medical history and concomitant therapies were not provided. On an unknown date, at the age of 17 years old, the pt was vaccinated with the first dose of Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) intramuscular injection (exact dose, route of administration, anatomical location, lot # and expiration date were not provided), as recommended by her physician.On unknown dates, she experienced serious and debilitating injuries, including but not limited to autonomic, autoimmune, and neurological injuries and resulting sequalae. On an unknown date, reported as after receiving Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL), the pt suffered her first ever seizure. She thereafter experienced seizures approximately once every week. She was seen by multiple physicians and specialists for her complaints. Based upon her chronic and severe post-Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) symptoms, the pt has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder and neurological dysfunction. As a result of her post-Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) symptoms, she was unable to engage in activities that a young person her age would normally enjoy.The pt was very active in school, she participated in various activities and clubs, and cheerleading during the basketball and football seasons. She planned to attend university, but instead she attended college online because she needed to be within a short distance of her parents so they could care for her during a seizure. The seizures affected her job opportunities, ability to drive, and social life. The pt contended that her Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) injection(s) caused her to develop serious and debilitating autoimmune and neurological, injuries, including but not limited to seizures causing loss of consciousness, temporary paralysis, rapid heartrate, blurry vision, fatigue, hot sweats, and weakness as well as a constellation of adverse symptoms, complications, injuries, and other adverse events, many of which were alleged herein and all of which were caused by Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) or otherwise linked to her Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL)-induced autoimmune disorder. As a proximate result of Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL), the pt suffered and continued to suffer severe and permanent physical injuries, and associated symptomology and suffered severe and permanent emotional injuries, including pain and suffering. She also had a substantial fear of suffering additional and ongoing harms, including but not limited to now being at an increased risk of cancer, and future symptoms and harms associated with her autoimmune disease and other injuries caused by Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL). As a direct and proximate result of her Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL) -induced injuries, the pt suffered and continued to suffer economic losses, including considerable financial expenses for medical care and treatment, and diminished income capacity and she would continue to incur these losses and expenses in the future. The outcome of the events was considered to be not not recovered. The reporter considered all the events to be related to Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (Types 6,11,16,18) Recomb. Vaccine (GARDASIL).   Upon internal review, the events of seizures, paralysis and autoimmune disorder were determined to be medically significant. The reporter considered all events to be disabling.
