Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a legal firm regarding a case in litigation concerning a minor male child with an allergy to Bactrim who at the time of the report was 5 years old. It has been alleged that as a result of childhood vaccinations injected from about March 1998 through September 1999, the pt was subjected to very high doses of mercury contained in thimerosal, "the highly toxic preservative." The pt was also reportedly exposed to highly toxic emissions from certain fossil fuel burning power production facilities in the environmental zone of his residence. As a result, the pt was poisoned by the cumulative doses of mercury to which he was subjected through these childhood vaccinations and power plant emissions. Each of these sources was reported to be a substantial factor in causing his injuries. It was further alleged that the pt has suffered serious and permanent injuries, physically, mentally and emotionally. He has also suffered permanent neurological, developmental and behavioral injuries and has sustained shock to his nerves and nervous system. Additional info including medical records was received. According to the vaccination record, on 2/18/98 the pt received a first dose of hep B virus vaccine, a second dose in the left thigh of hep B virus vaccine on 3/18/98, and a third dose ofhep B on 9/8/98. On 7/22/99 the pt received a first dose in the right thigh of MMR II. On 3/5/99 the pt received a first dose in the left thigh of varicella virus vaccine. On 4/20/98 the pt received a first dose in the right thigh of Tetramune and a second dose in the left thigh of Tetramune on 7/3/98. On 9/8/98 the pt received a first dose in the left thigh of Tripedia and a second dose in the right thigh of Tripedia on 9/2/99. On 9/8/98 the pt received a first dose in the right thigh of Hib conj vaccine on 7/22/99. On 4/20/98 the pt received a first dose in the left thigh of IPOL on 7/3/98 and a third dose in the left thigh of IPOL on 9/2/99. Lab results on 5/25/00 revealed a ferritin level of 15mg/mL, hemoglobin F 4.2%, hemoglobin A 92.4%, hemoglobin A2 3.4%, percent abnormal hemoglobin 0.0%, and a reticulocyte count of 1.0%. The lab interpretation revealed that "there is an increase in the fetal hemoglobin. Because of the elevated hemoglobin F, anemia or thalassemia should be considered. Clinical correlation is recommended to diagnostically differentiate." A consult on 5/15/01 revealed an impression of autism and developmental delay. On 8/13/01 an attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder follow-up evaluation was performed. The evaluation revealed that the pt was on no medication and the chief complaint was developmental problems. The pt's school performance and behavior were rated as good. The pt's behavior was rated as abnormal. The impression revealed autism/pervasive developmental disorder and encephalopathy. The treatment plan included medication and a gluten-free diet. Upon internal review, mercury poisoning, serious/permanent physical, mental, emotional, neurological and behavioral injuries, autism, pervasive developmental disorder, and encephalopathy were considered other important medical events (OMIC).
