Add febrile seizure on 03/11/1997 and subsequently seizure disorder (reason for permanent disability) Annual follow up on 11/25/2003: "Vaccine recipient did not recover from the adverse events that were reported for this vaccination.  My daughter still has seizures, even after having 2 brain surgeries.  I feel that the only reason there is a statue of limitation on these shots is because this has happened to a lot more kids.  I also feel the other parents and myself should be accomodating to help take care of these kids."

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from an investigator regarding a 6 month old male who received his third dose of study vaccine along with DTaP (manuf unk), IPV, and influenza virus (manuf unk) vaccines on 10/29/02 as part of the study, "A Phase III Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety of the 9-Valent Pneumococcal, Meningococcal Group C Saccharide-CRM197 Conjugate Combination Vaccine Comparred to Licensed 7-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Prevnar) Administered to Healthy Infants." The reporter noted that at the time of immunization, the infant had viral gastroenteritis with "excessive" weight loss. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes post-vaccination, the infant developed  limb shaking and his eyes rolled back. He also developed hives on his face and was crying intermittently. Emergency services were called and the infant was seen in an ER. Urinalysis and serum electrolyte test results were normal. A CBC showed a "slightly high" white blood cell count of 18.7. A CT scan was "normal." A physician exam revealed no abnormalities and a diagnosis of seizure was made. The family physician suspected an allergic reaction to egg protein in the influenza vaccine. On 10/30/02, the infant was seen by an allergist who indicated the possibility that the "infant had aspirated and developed laryngospasm mimicking like seizure activity." Results of egg allergy skin tests performed that day were negative. The investigator considered the events to be medically important (OMIC). Both the medical monitor and the investigator agreed that seizure and hives (both expected per the investigator brochure) were "possibly related" to study vaccine and concomitant vaccine administration.

Symptoms: Dizziness
Clinical narrative: I received the vaccine on Nov 5th at 8:30 AM.  At 9:15 PM on November 6th, I had an episode of severe dizziness. What I was looking at was percieved to be spinning rapidly as if on a disc. Standing was impossible.  This has continued through today, Nov 15, 2002, although slightly letting up in intensity. The percievd motion now is a back and forth rather than a spinning disc. It is most prevalent in the morning and evening when getting up or laying down, although it does occur during the day, but less intensly.  Additionally, there is a constant, but low level, sense of dizzyness (although no spinning is associated with this)-- similar to a "light headedness" sensation.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a registered nurse concerning a *13 y.o. female patient w/no allergies and no medical history, who in 10/23/02, was vaccinated IM in the left arm with a first* dose of hepatitis A virus vaccine inactivated. *Concomitant vax included a first dose of diphtheria toxoid (+) tetanus toxoid IM in the right arm. There was no illness at the time of vax. Two days post vax, on 10/25/02,* the patient developed hypotension, dehydration, hives, *weakness, vomiting, chest pain and swelling in her face, feet and toes.* The patient was treated in the ER with IV's and steroids and was released. On 10/29/02 the patient was seen in the doctor's office for follow up. *Subsequently the PT recovered.* The reporter indicated that *two other PTs each* had an adverse reaction following vaccination with a dose of hepatitis A virus vaccine inactivated from the same lot and the physician is "questioning this lot number". The records of testing prior to release of this lot have been checked and found to be satisfactory. The lot complies with the standards and was released. *F/UP report on 12/13/02: F/up info included the ER patient discharge plan which, on 10/25/02 indicated "prelimilary diagnoses" of an allergic reaction and dehydration. The PT was treated in the ER w/oral prednisone. The PT was discharged and given prednisolone (Pediapred) to take home. The PT was instructed to follow up w/her primary care provider in 2-3 days, to return to the ER if the SXs worsened and to drink plenty of liquids to prevent dehydration.* Upon internal review, the patient's hypotension and dehydration were determined to be other important medical events.

Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a health professional concerning a 16 week old male twin with a history of premature birth (33 weeks gestation) who on 10/18/02 was vaccinated with the first dose of Haemophilus B conjugate vaccine (+) hepatitis B vaccine recombinant IM (site not reported). Concomitant therapy that same day included Infanrix (route and site not reported), poliovirus vaccine inactivated (route and site not reported), Prevnar (route and site not reported). Other concomitant therapy included Synagis. The infant was fine after the injections, however after he awoke from his nap, he woke with fever and became lethargic. Later that day the fever peaked at 102.9 degrees F. The infant was taken tot he ER. The infant had a septic work-up and a spinal tap that both came back normal. His fever went down and he was discharged on 10/19/02. As of 10/23/02 the infant has recovered. The infants twin sibling had a similar event but was not hospitalized (Synagis 03179). In follow up on 10/28/02 the results of a CT scan and ultrasound of the head revealed mild hydrocephalus, 2 small clots (possible) frontal horns.
