Clinical narrative: The pt reports that "three days after I received the I began to experience difficulty moving my left arm. I noticed the pain to be different from injection point tenderness or general muscular ache but thought it was probably just a variation of the norm. The pain increased to the point where I was barely able to abduct the arm or bear any weight and my ability to work was severely impaired. I saw my primary care physician 11/20/2001 who prescribed a nine day course pf Prednisone. That treatment gave me almost complete relief from the pain and loss of mobility. Four to five days after completing the course of Prednisone the symptoms and pain returned. The pain increased, it involved my entire shoulder and hsoulder blade area, I was not able to sleep through the night and no matter what I did I couldn't find relief. I called my primary care physician who referred me for orthopedic consultation. On 12/10/2001 the orthopod decided to retreat me with a longer course of Prenisone. Again I experienced almost full relief while on the medication, but the symptoms returned within a week of ending the medication. I did not like the side effects I had experienced on the longer course of Prednisone and since the improvement wasn't sustained, I tried to find other sources of relief from the pain. I worked with a massage therapist for over a month who subsequently advised me to return to a physician because the area was not responding to the treatment. On 02/22/2001, I returned to the orthopod who diagnosed the condition as a "chemical induced neuritis" and prescribed physical therapy and medication for the pain. The electric current therapy has greatly reduced the pain but I still experience swelling in my left axilla and some loss of motion. I continue to do home exercises and have regular massage therapy. I am not pain free.

Prior to vaccine I had episodic mild arthralgias in 1st MCP's (OA) and cervical and lumber mild discomfort, occasionally radicular, and occasional costochondritis. I was working full time in a busy internal medicine practice. The only medication I needed was Feldene or Ibuprofen. After the vaccine I developed progressive arthralgias in joints never before involved (2nd & 3rd MCP's on right, shoulders, hips, knees) proximal myalgias, chest pain, anterior and posterior (probable serositis) and progressive debilitating fatigue.I have had to close my internal medicine practice. Before the vaccine I never needed any pain Rx (except rarely for a migraine. Since 12/00 I've needed Vicoprofen daily and Plaquenil for the last year. Before the vaccine my ANA was 1:160-1:320. Since the vaccine it runs 1:320-1:640. My complement (C4) was never low until after the vaccine, now is consistently mildly low (15.7-17), lower limit of normal is 18. My immunoelectrophoresis now shows a diffuse gamma band, previously it was normal. My clinical worsening and changes in lab tests are all temporally related to the LymeRix. I did not previously report these symptoms since I am not 100% certain that the vaccine is causal. But now that clinical evidence in the literature shows molecular similarity between Opson A and HLA stuctures in humans, I am concerned that this vaccine is responsible for the severe progression of my symptoms.  Follow up: coronary artery disease diagnosed 03/29/2000.

Clinical narrative: On 3/23/02, per telephone call to mother, she states her daughter was paralyzed from the waist down and could not walk in 11/00. Daughter is receiving physical therapy now and has numbness on her right side, leg and back problems, feet swelling and diabetes stage 2. Per Progress Notes: Immunization card states: 1/11/02 vaccine deferred until parent brings OK from physician for shots. Appt on 1/17/02. Parent reports child possible dx with Guillain-Barre' but not definite. Had weakness from waist down for approx. 2 weeks. Hospitalized. Slight numbness remains in lower right leg. Mother in on 3/26/02 and requests copy of immunization record and it was provided. Record shows child had immunizations on 7/12/01. Hep-b 2nd dose and Varicella 1st dose. Called the hospital and talked with RN and she read the record to me: The pt was admitted to the hospital on 11/22/01 with dx of weakness in legs. On 11/21/01, the pt complained of numb legs, muscle cramps. One month prior to this incident, the pt had a viral upper respiratory infection. She complained of difficulty voiding on the 21st. Denies headache. Also complained of back pain and has a history of trauma to back during a fight with a schoolmate. Do not know when MRI was done but was mentioned in the history. The pt required catheterization while in the hospital for urinary retention. Also received physical therapy and discharged on 11/29/01. "Condition improved". Discharge dx: lower extremity weakness, urinary retention, suspect viral etiology and UTI. The pt weighs 240lbs at 13 years of age. Per call to parent; she states her daughter was dx'd with Guillain-Barre' but the doctor changed her dx to Transverse Myelitis. The mother states that her daughter is disabled because "she got a double dose of Hep-B". Says "I got no information about that" and she is unaware that her daughter received varicella. She states "they never told me that. They said she didn't". "They" means the Health Dept. She states she has a medical friend who "told me that may cases of this (paralysis) are in this county and it is full of people who had reactions from too much Hep-B". When asked about the "reaction" her daughter had, she states in November she became completely paralyzed. Now she is trying to get her on disability because of the pt's long term results; continued numbness of right leg, had back problems, her feet swell, has diabetes stage 2 and remains on physical therapy. Daughter is still in school. She states her daughter will never have any more vaccines (she has a "medical excuse"). She had an angry and defensive tone during interview. I attempted to placate her during calls; obviously not interested in other facts. A follow up report received 5/7/2002 adds: Diagnosed with transverse mylitis, NIDDM and bladder retention.

Clinical narrative: A report was received from a consumer on 1/7/02, concerning a 28 year old male pt who experienced headaches, sore throat, tonsillitis, vomiting and numbness from the chest down, 36 hours after receiving the Fluvirin vaccine on 11/14/01, which resulted in hospitalization and disability. He also, at one point, was unable to move his right leg. 16 days, post vax, the pt was admitted to the hospital on the 11/30/01 and remained there for 3 weeks. The pt had not recovered at the time of reporting. There was insufficient information to determine the reporter's causality assessment. A follow-up report was received on 1/28/02. Further to the symptoms already noted, the pt experienced a severe reaction to the Fluvirin vaccine resulting in swelling of gums, fever, dehydration, chills (shivering) and the inability to control body temperature, tiredness and lack of energy, at the time of reporting, his vomiting meant he could not take any liquids, he suffered pins and needles/numbness all over the body below T3. His inability to move his right leg meant he could not walk for several weeks. At the time of reporting, the pt had ongoing numbness of the right leg and right side. He was dx'd with transverse myelitis. The pt was discharged from the hospital on 12/19/01. A 2nd follow-up report was received from a health professional on 4/15/02. A consultant neurologist dx'd the pt with transverse myelitis. The pt was admitted to the hospital on 12/5/01 and was discharged on 12/20/01. At the time of reporting, the pt's condition had "settled to almost complete resolution" but minor numbness at the front of the leg remains. The pt has no previous relevant previous history and was taking no concurrent medications at the time of the event. The reporter assessed the causality as probable.
