Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a physician concerning a 18 year old female with hypothyroidism, obesity and no allergies who on 16-JUL-2009 was vaccinated with her first dose of GARDASIL (lot # 661846/1312X). Concomitant therapy included SYNTHROID. On 25-JUL-2007 the patient developed urticaria of hands and lower extremities, malaise, and body aches. The urticaria then became confluent, widespread, and the patient developed fever of 103-104F and joint pain. The patient was admitted to the hospital on 11-AUG-2009 and was being evaluated for systemic hypersensitivity syndrome. Testing had revealed splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 86, elevated C-reactive protein, and low C4 and C3. The patient was being treated with hydration and unspecified antihistamines. Additional information has been received from the physician who saw this 18 year old patient on 06-AUG-2009, ran viral cultures which were negative, hepatitis A and C negative, Hepatitis B-fully immunized. A sonogram showed hepatomegaly and splenomegaly which were also present on exam. The patient was given Clindamycin in case this was a toxin mediated reaction. The patient was also seen by dermatologist in Doctor's office.
