Vaccine: FLU3, FLU3
Symptoms: Skin nodule
Clinical narrative: A husband reported that his wife received vax on 11/19/99. Two days post vax, she developed nodules in her fatty tissue over her entire body. A biopsy of the nodules reportedly revealed that they were benign. Follow-up information received from the physician provided that the biopsy revealed T-cell lymphoma. The physician does not feel that the lymphoma was caused or aggravated by the vax administration. He stated that 'it was just a coincidence' and 'not at all related' to the vax. Additional info received on follow-up from the physician on 04/08/2002 indicated thatt he pt partially recovered. She was treated for T-cell lymphoma and that the number of nodules was decreased from 20 to 2. The pt did not have follow-up with the physician since 05/19/2000.

Vaccine: FLUX
Symptoms: Neoplasm, Quadriplegia, Respiratory arrest, Respiratory failure
Clinical narrative: This case concerns male who had had influenza vax 48 hours prior to chemotherapy. On day 3, after the carboplatin based tridrug chemotherapy with blood brain-barrier disruption (vertebral artery), he experienced respiratory arrest and rapid progression of quadriparesis. The pt remained quadriparetic and ventilator dependent and died 75 days after chemotherapy treatment. The authors conclude that the pathophysiology of the complication seen in the 7 pts is multi-factorial but may be related to vascular streaming and an atypical inflammatory toxic reaction to carboplatin or etoposide. The complication has not recurred during a 6 month period following modification of the protocol. Date of vax and onset not specified and therefore assumed to be associated with the 1999/1999 influenza season.
