Clinical narrative: Received the flu shot around 4:30-5:00 on 9/15/09.

I should have went to the ER, but didn't because of the cost. Where I live, we have a great 911 system/service so I knew I could receive help within minutes. Had I lived somewhere that didn't have a great 911 system, I would definitely have went to ER when my throat swelled closed. So I checked "required er/dr visit" in the next section. Upon waking this morning, I was only slightly feverish, throat is slightly irritated, very tired, headache, shot arm is only tender now, but my face is very swollen (specifically lips & eyes) and my eyes are crusted over.

Clinical narrative: Received Hep A and Flu Mist on 12/11. Next day ( 12/12 noticed involuntary hand jerking a few times during day. Noticed again following day 12/13. Called on call nurse and she didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. Next day 12/14 started running fever. Gave Tylenol to son when fever continued to climb. An hour or so later he had a Grand Mal seizure lasting approximately 3-4 minutes. Called 911. Remained completely unresponsive to paramedics and parents. Went to hospital and patient was unresponsive for approximately 3 hours (no eye contact, staring at the light, didn't recognize or respond to anyone...a vegetative type state) After approximately 3-4 hours he snapped out of it and became responsive. Fever conitnued for approx. 2-3 more days. Unusual symptoms/behaviors following seizure (don't know if they were related) included eye twitching, complaint of periodic chest pain and complaints that face felt tingly/dry for months afterward. Chronic throat infections followed resulting in tonsilectomy in March 2009. Prior to the flu mist patient had never had the involuntary hand twitching ( fists ball up and both hands jerking inward). He had many fevers prior to this incident and never had a febrile seizure. I think that the flu mist was the cause of this. We do adore and respect our doctor - so I hope that this can be filed confidentially. We just feel that it is our responsibility to report the incident.

The patient was not hospitalized. The patient was seeing a rheumatologist. Follow-up information was received from a 23 year old female patient. She reported she in June 2007, August 2007 and December 2007 was vaccinated with the first, second and third dose of GARDASIL (lot numbers not reported) respectively. There was no illness at time of vaccination and there was no pre-existing allergies, birth defects or medical conditions either and "she was never a sick child or a sick adult". On 01-OCT-2007 morning the patient started to experience migraines. The patient reported she had constant migraine since then. She had seen a neurologist multiple times. She had an MRI, and MRV and and MRA done in late 2007 and they all showed no complications. She had been prescribed amitriptyline hydrochloride, ZOMIG, FROVA, FIORICET, TOPAMAX, INDERAL, lisinopril among others, not one of these medications helped her migraines. she saw her original primary care doctor and now being followed by her new primary care physician.

She was in constant crippling pain from her migraines, as well as muscle joint pain and weakness, and frequently getting infections. She had been bruising especially easily since October 2007 also. She was tested for VON WILLEBRAND'S Disease, but results were negative here as well. Her new primary doctor had recently diagnosed her with chronic fatigue and referred her to a Rheumatologist, which she had scheduled an appointment. The patient strongly believe her symptoms are side effects caused by the GARDASIL vaccine. She reported she had none of these symptoms prior to receiving the vaccine, and there was no medical explanation to her symptoms as of yet. The patient was not recovered. The patient's events were considered to be disabling. Additional information has been requested.
