Clinical narrative: Pt's mother reported a rash to the health dept and personal physician that covered the baby's diapered area only and some crankiness, after the 2nd dose of immunization which was given on 4/10/01. The rash did not occur until 1-2 days, post vax. At the same time, DTAP, Comvax and IPV were all given to pt. Pt's PMD recommended that we continue immunizations but split them up and give 1 or 2 at a time. We continued to give immunizations as recommended by physician, giving only 1 at a time and had no reactions until after infant received Act-Hib. Mother reported pt had diarrhea all week before getting immunization, thinking it was due to teething. She also reported that reactions started with a mild fever on 8/16/01 PM. By 8/17/01, she noticed a small red rash on one of his knees and the immunization site was red and warm. On 8/18/01, the rash had spread to his cheeks and forehead near his eyebrow area. He also started throwing up, was feverish (unknown how high), and continued to have diarrhea. At this point, she decided to take him to the ER, which labs were drawn and dehydration was dx'd from the diarrhea. He was given IV, 1 liter of fluid, and discharged to home. It appears to me that hospitalization occurred because of the hydration that had already started before immunization was given, but other symptoms may have exacerbated it.

Pt's PMD recommended that we continue immunizations but split them up and give 1 or 2 at a time. We continued to give immunizations as recommended by physician, giving only 1 at a time and had no reactions until after infant received Act-Hib. Mother reported pt had diarrhea all week before getting immunization, thinking it was due to teething. She also reported that reactions started with a mild fever on 8/16/01 PM. By 8/17/01, she noticed a small red rash on one of his knees and the immunization site was red and warm. On 8/18/01, the rash had spread to his cheeks and forehead near his eyebrow area. He also started throwing up, was feverish (unknown how high), and continued to have diarrhea. At this point, she decided to take him to the ER, which labs were drawn and dehydration was dx'd from the diarrhea. He was given IV, 1 liter of fluid, and discharged to home. It appears to me that hospitalization occurred because of the hydration that had already started before immunization was given, but other symptoms may have exacerbated it.
