Clinical narrative: At about 4 AM (3/1/2003) started coughing non-stop. Albuterol, Saline - nothing could stop it. Called Allergist, received treatments of prednisolone. He had a fever, and non-stop coughing from 3/1/2003 until 3/4/2003. No medicines had any affect. Also tried mist. Dr. was (pediatrician) called. MD (allergist) saw pt. Pt's arm was inflamed and swollen where DTP was administered. Continuation: Pt received 4 shots listed on 2/28/2003. He was in perfect health at the time of the visit. At approximately 4 AM the following morning, pt began to cough and could not stop. He coughed every minute throughout the night. We called a doctor who informed us to give him saline through the nebulizer also. Prior to this the pt had one cold where they had administered Albuterol and Pulmicort to help him open up his breathing. Using these medication through the nebulizer provided the pt with no relief. He did not have a cold. We were directed by the doctor to keep doing what we were doing. His arm where he received the DTaP shot was swollen, red and hot. He started with a fever throughout the night. He was lethargic and less responsive. On 3/1 we did call the pediatric allergist (pager) whom listened to his cough in the evening on the phone and asked us about the shots he received. He instructed us to try cool mist and to continue the medication and he would see us in the morning. The pt coughed consistently throughout the night receiving nebulizer treatments and saline throughout the night without any relief. Irritable and less responsive. The pediatric allergist brought us into the office on 3/2. He did have us contact the pediatrician to ask about the immunizations that the pt received. He examined the site of the shot. His arm was brighter red and swollen. He has a low grade fever and was irritable. He was still coughing. The allergist prescribed oral Prednisone for the week.  He was still receiving breathing treatments with no relief and cold symptoms. Allergist also saw pt on 3/3 and 3/5 for follow up checks. He finally decreased the coughing spasm on 3/5/2003 when the redness began to subside in the arm and he became less irritable. He did visit his pediatrician that week to evaluate.

Clinical narrative: Day 1 - Complained of headache/also that his hip hurt. Day 2, Just said his body ached felt like start of flu - we had a b-day party for him, he didn't eat much, felt sick. Day 3 Sunday - Got up, he was at his desk said he felt sick, hurt all over, approximately noon, started throwing up - again at 3 PM. He threw up again said he had the 1 day flu, he felt better in the morning. I took his temp, it was 101. He asked for some aspirin, the pain was all over his body, all day. He drank lots of water 48oz cups at least 1 to 2 hours apart. He slept off and on most of the day. His daughter came by to pick up her baby about 3:30 or so and talk to her dad. I'd brought in some crackers and more water, kept taking his temp, it was down to 99. I asked if he wanted to go the the doctor, but he said no. He got up several times to go to the rest room. The body pain he said was getting worse. He kept drinking as much water as possible. Three times Sunday night he spilled his water, but hadn't thrown up since that afternoon. I checked on him several hours or so, checked his temp, it stayed at about 99. day 4 - since it was after midnight now, I was still getting him water. He'd get up and use the rest room, said the pain throughout his body was so bad but we both thought it was because he had the flu. At 3 AM I gave him some more aspirin for the pain. he went to the rest room and walked to the kitchen and got a glass of water. We sat and talked for a while. He told me he hadn't had a ticket in 27 years. I told him to turn and there was a sign No Turn on Red. About 1 month before he told me that he had thrown up in over 19 years. When he had his last drink, we sat and laughed and he told me he was going to finish his paperwork for his new job, later that day, that's the job that had him go get the Hepatitis B shot. We were really he gotten the job, the hepatitis B shot was the last thing we had to do. A woman had called Friday, he passed the physical, FBI check and had gotten the first of three shots. After a while we were talking he said his body had never hurt so bad  and if I would put some Ben Gay over his back, arms, everywhere but his legs because he still had his jeans on. So I did. I massaged his lower back the most, arms, neck, and shoulders.  Then I cuddled up to him with the blanket so he would not get a chill. I fell asleep for about 1/2 hour or so. My other daughter called me into her room, said she felt like she was getting a cold. At 4 AM my husband's alarm went off, he always set it for that time, so I ran into the room to get it so it would not wake him since he was still asleep. I took it to the living room so when it went off again it would not wake him. When he didn't wake up by 10:30 that morning I knew he would be upset if he slept too long. But when I tried to wake him I could not. He was dead.

Symptoms: Adrenal adenoma, Generalised oedema, Oedema, Pyrexia, Rash
Clinical narrative: Child was on Pulmicort .025% nebulizer treatment for 3 weeks BID prior to vaccination. Also the baby was on Albuterol nebulizer treatment. Baby was suffering from Asthma and was on and off medication for 4 months prior to the vaccination. Baby weighed 23 pounds at the time of vaccination. I suspect that the baby had a reaction to the vaccination. She had mumps and many complications as described below. I would like your honest evaluation whether my baby had a serious reaction to the vaccination. IF so, what could be the reason, is it because she was on inhaled steroid treatment before the vaccinations. My baby seems to have recovered completely at this point. SX: 02/25/05 (7)days after vaccination fever of 100-102 degrees lasted 5 days, 03/01/05 itching and red rash all over the body lasted for 3 days. 03/04/05 (2 weeks after vaccination) swelling under the jaw on the left side started and the baby has mild fever of 99 degrees. 03/06/05 swelling became large, like mumps, and fever increased to 100 degrees. I have suspected mumps. 03/07/05 swelling became larger baby could not turn head.

Age: 1.01
Sex: F
Vaccine: MMR, PNC
Symptoms: Rash erythematous, Urticaria
Clinical narrative: Child was on Pulmicort .025% nebulizer treatment for 3 weeks BID prior to vaccination. Also the baby was on Albuterol nebulizer treatment. Baby was suffering from Asthma and was on and off medication for 4 months prior to the vaccination. Baby weighed 23 pounds at the time of vaccination. I suspect that the baby had a reaction to the vaccination. She had mumps and many complications as described below. I would like your honest evaluation whether my baby had a serious reaction to the vaccination. IF so, what could be the reason, is it because she was on inhaled steroid treatment before the vaccinations. My baby seems to have recovered completely at this point. SX: 02/25/05 (7)days after vaccination fever of 100-102 degrees lasted 5 days, 03/01/05 itching and red rash all over the body lasted for 3 days. 03/04/05 (2 weeks after vaccination) swelling under the jaw on the left side started and the baby has mild fever of 99 degrees. 03/06/05 swelling became large, like mumps, and fever increased to 100 degrees. I have suspected mumps. 03/07/05 swelling became larger baby could not turn head.

Symptoms: Chest pain, Cough, Headache, Influenza like illness, Injection site erythema
Clinical narrative: This 48 year-old received his first anthrax vaccination and smallpox revaccination on 17 July 2003.  He reports the anthrax site became sore and red with flu like symptoms, malaise, and generally "feeling bad" for the next few days.  The smallpox site had a good take.  Approximately 3-4 weeks later, after deployed he developed a red-white rash to his lower back that spread below both buttocks.  He describes the rash as initially fine flat pale red-white nonpruritic rash that began at his waist/lower back. This rash spread from his back around the abdomen into his groin and upper thigh, as if he were wearing shorts.   After the rash became white, scaly and crusted it began to itch.  He applied Destin powder to the site as the rash was similar to his experiences with athlete foot.  Within two weeks the rash had dissipated; however whenever he stopped using Destin the rash would reappear within 2-3 days.  He never sought medical care for this disorder.  The rash does not affect any other area of his body.  As of December 22, 2004 the rash is barely visible to his left waist-hip as a fine pale reddened area with white flakes that is non-pruritic.  He reports a history of bilateral athlete foot with onychopathy (onychosis). He also complains of "not feeling 100%" since returning.  He reports two weeks after arriving, he was sick and was advised it was "due to pollution in the air."  He complains of a low grade headache and fever (99 deg F) for the last 1-2 years.  He describes the headache as a 1-2/10 pounding sensation "as if his brain was swollen."  The headache is located over his forehead extending over the top of his head back above the ears.  He does not use any medication for this pain and it resolves on its own.  He is uncertain of time and duration as he just "tolerates it."  He also began to experience periodic chest pain three weeks after arriving  (approximately 6 weeks post smallpox vaccination).  He described the pain as a sharp pain that was in the "pericardium".  The pain began with the onset of a cold, generalized malaise and coughing up light green phlegm.  The pain was nonradiating centered to the left side anteriorly. It worsened with leaning forward and lying down.  It was better sitting upright.  The pain was worse early in the morning. It lasted one week, with periodic reoccurrence depending upon activity performed.  He reports his job consisted of lifting and moving multiple objects with long days of work as a forklift operator.  This pain has persisted intermittently over the last two years with the last pain ten days ago.  He denied any radiating pain, nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, dizziness or breathing difficulty.  He has not sought medical attention for these complaints.  He is a non-smoker. Of note, he received his Meningiococcal, yellow fever, and typhoid on July 14-15, 2003 and MMR on 7/27/03.
