Clinical narrative: A physician reported the occurrence of sleep apnea in an approximately 4 month old female who was vaccinated with Infanrix for prophylaxis.  This report was received from manufacturer, who was notified of the event during their phase IV study of Daptacel. The subject's medical history, concurrent conditions, and concurrent medications were not specified. Family history was significant for coronary heart disease and no history of sudden death. The subject received injections of Infanrix on 7/22/02 and 9/25/02, respectively. On 9/25/02, she also received injections of IPOL, ActHIB, hep B and Prevnar. Two days post-immunization, on 9/27/02, the subject was seen in the ER "for parental concern due to facial pallor and gray face." The subject was admitted to the hospital for observation with a diagnosis of "acute life-threatening event." In the hospital, an electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm with a rate of 135 beats/minute,  normal corrected QT interval, and "possible" left ventricular hypertrophy. There were no further recurrences and the subject was discharged from the hospital after an unspecified period of time. The subject was examined by the physician in November 2002. The diagnosis of the event was recorded as "apnea during sleep with no recurrence." At this visit, the electrocardiogram was interpreted as normal. The reporting physician stated that the event was life-threatening, and "unrelated/unlikely" related to Infanrix administration.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from five authors of a published literature article concerning a patient who participated in a post marketing study involving pneumococcal vaccine 23 polyvalent. The 30 month old patient with hb-ss disease with crisis was vaccinated with a dose of pneumococcal vaccine 23 polyvalent. Concomitant therapy included penicillin. It was reported that the patient was compliant with penicillin therapy. In 1996 the patient developed severe pneumococcal infection and subsequently the patient died. It was noted that the patient was discharged from the local ER a few hours earlier. The cause of death was pneumococcal infection NOS. Patient developed severe pneumococcal infection was considered to be immediately life threatening. It was reported that two other patient developed pneumococcal infections. At this time, relationship of the patient's pneumococcal infection to pneumococcal vaccine 23 polyvalent was unknown. Additional information has been requested.  Reported on 03/26/2003: "Follow-up information received from the Primary Author revealed that the year of death was December, 1996.  The parents reported that the child was on oral penicillin prophylactically.  However the child was very non-compliant, and it was questionable as to whether or not the child had ever been vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccine 23 polyvalent, since there were no records of vaccination dates.  The childd was seen in a local emergency room and had an elevated temperature (which would have required the child to be admitted and the organism was penicillin sensitive pneumococcus.  The child was sent home and was found dead in the AM.  No autopsy was performed.  Additional information has been requested.
