The patient stated that for the first couple of weeks she ran a low fever, had flu symptoms and pain in her arms. After 3 weeks the pain settled in her elbows and bicep muscles which was described as a burning pain and she couldn't lift anymore or couldn't open drinks. She had muscle spasms in both biceps and she hasn't been able to go back to work. It was noted that the patient was taking pain medication for treatment. It was also noted that as a patient was sitting on the phone discussing her experience, she had to switch the phone from hand to hand because her biceps hurt too much. The pain was given cortisone injections, but they made the pain worse. The patient felt the experience was disabling because it changed her whole life. Medical attention was sought. There was no product quality complaint involved. The patient considered the low fever, flu symptoms, pain in her arms, pain settled in her elbows and bicep muscles which was described as a burning pain, she couldn't lift anymore or couldn't open drinks, muscle spasms in both biceps and hasn't been able to go back to work to be significantly disabling.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a physician concerning a 4 year old male with an IgA deficiency, selective IgG subclass deficiency, decreased complement C3 factor, a possible allergy to eggs, allergies to foods and animals and a history of eczema who on 7/20/04 was vaccinated with MMR (lot # 646343/0960N). Concomitant therapy included poliovirus vaccine inactivated (IPOL) and diphtheria toxoid (+) pertussis vaccine (unspecified) (+) tetanus toxoid, budesonide, carbinoxamine maleate, and montelukast sodium. That same day approximately 30 minutes post vaccination the patient developed a dry cough, rubbing throat, rubbing chest, generalized hives and both of his eyes swelled shut. He did not experience wheezing, shortness of breath, or difficulty swallowing. The patient was taken to the emergency room and treated with diphenhydramine hydrochloride, 12.5mg, PO, and subsequently recovered within 30 minutes. The physician stated that she did not see the patient for this event, therefore, could not determine if the events would have progressed to a life-threatening situation if the patient had not received the diphenhydramine hydrochloride. The reporter indicated that the chest discomfort, cough, eye edema, throat irritation, and generalized urticaria were determined to be other important medical events (OMIC).

Symptoms: Anaemia, Blood creatine phosphokinase increased, Condition aggravated, Haematuria, Haemoglobin decreased
Clinical narrative: There was no serious criteria reported. However, based upon the follow up information received on 8/25/04, this case is now considered serious (OMIC). From initial information received on 6/14/04 from the patient regarding an adverse event occurring in the USA, it was reported that a 75 year old male patient received a dose of FLUZONE, lot number U1255AA, administered in the right arm on 11/10/03. The route of administration was not reported. Seven hours later, the patient developed hematuria. He also experienced nausea and vomiting, but the onset was not reported. The patient was evaluated by a urologist, as well as the responsible physician and symptoms were treated with Cipro and ampicillin. His hemoglobin decreased from 14 to 9 and his creatinine increased from 2.2 to 4.9 and the patient is to see a nephrologist on 7/26/04 due to his lab work. His past medical history is significant for arthritis and a gastrointestinal disorder, possibly gastroesophageal reflux disease or ulcer disease. His concomitant medications at the time of vaccination included Sea Silver, an over the counter supplement. He has not recovered from these events. From additional information received on 8/25/04 from a voice mail message from the patient, it was reported I am the patient affected by flu vaccine 125AA. I'm on dialysis because my creatinine increased and it's from the vaccine. His recovery status was not reported. Based on medical judgement, this case has been upgraded to serious. Additional information has been requested. A return call was received from a doctor, the physician for this patient. The doctor stated he saw patient on 8/26/04. He reported that he had a history of bladder cancer from 12/02 for which he did not seek treatment. He was diagnosed in a different state and still has not provided his medical records. He had episodes of hematuria prior to his vaccination. He did receive a Flu vaccine on 11/10/03. In his medical judgement, the patient's hematuria and kidney problems had nothing to do with the vaccine.
