Symptoms: Constipation, Faeces pale
Clinical narrative: This male subject was enrolled in the prophylactic double blind study. On 10/14/04, he received the first dose of rotavirus vaccine or placebo. Concomitant vaccination included: On 10/14/04, combined diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, inactivated polio, haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine. This subject received a first dose of placebo vaccine. On 10/14/04, the day he received the first dose of blinded vaccine and Infanrix-IPV-HIB, this two month old subject had not passed stool. Usually he passes stool once or twice daily. On 10/17/04, the subject's mother contacted the study nurse complaining about child's constipation and was advised to keep observing. On 10/19/04, the subject was examined: no fever, normal urine output, no irritability and no abdominal distension were found. The temperature was taken by rectum (37C) and a small about of soft stool was seen. However, no stool had passed since 10/14/04. The subject was diagnosed as having constipation. On 10/20/04, he was treated with glycerin suppositories at the outpatient clinic with good results: a large amount of loose yellow stool passed out. The event improved. On 10/29/04, the subject was followed up again as he had passed stool only once on 10/25/04. Physical examination was done: the subject was well, abdomen was soft, no mass, rectal examination was normal. Mother was advised to monitor for 1-2 days more. On 10/31/04, the subject had passed a large amount of yellowish to green soft stool. He was active and playful. The mother was contacted on 11/8 and 11/17/04 and explained that the subject passed normal yellowish stool once or twice weekly. The investigator considered the event to be medically important since there was a significant changing bowel habit (OMIC). The investigator considered there was reasonable possibility that the constipation may have been caused by investigational product or concomitant Infanrix-IPV-HIB vaccine. The vaccine course has been discontinued.

Symptoms: Immune system disorder, Nervous system disorder
Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. As former military, whose health and career were unconscionably and mind-bogglingly disrupted and destroyed, I have definitive, concrete proof that these immunizations led to the demise of my autoimmune system and subsequent destruction of my central nervous system. Available information and VAERS reports forwarded to me with reference to lots FAV024 and FAV031 clearly depict that these lots were incorrectly manufactured, contaminated, and unsuitable for use. These are the lot numbers I was given and the adverse reactions that I had occurred within 12 hours of injection. Upon further scrutiny this vaccination was never tested, nor proven, to be effective against inhalation anthrax so its objective was ultimately pointless.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I am retired military, having retired on 12/1/04. I was held on active duty past my original retirement date of 3/1/04, to allow doctors to continue their tests to determine why I had become ill after my fifth anthrax vaccination. Currently, I am beginning the medical evaluation process for service-connected disability. I am being evaluated for the following conditions: residuals from anthrax vaccine, dysmetabolic syndrome, acquired hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, chronic fatigue syndrome, cognitive disorder, fibromyalgia, hyperlipidemia, allergic rhinitis, hearing loss, tinnitus, post traumatic stress disorder, colon polyps, sleep apnea, and altered taste/smell. I can tell you, for a fact, that this is not the way I hoped to complete my career. I use to be in reasonably good health. Now, some days are better than others. I've sat in a room with other military members and had to listen to somebody tell us to quit crying about our health issues and we'd get the disability money. It's not about the money. Frankly, I'd rather have my health back. So would my family.
