Vaccine: HEP
Symptoms: Injection site erythema, Rash papular, Skin burning sensation, Urticaria
Clinical narrative: Adult vaccine was unavailable and instead, she was given the contents of two 0.5mL pediatric vaccine vials. The contents of each were drawn up together and given as one shot. She received the shot on 11/13. On 11/15, she noticed burning and redness under her arms. By 11/18, she developed hives to her legs. She was instructed to take Benadryl 50mg PO. She also mentioned she had been using Stacker 3 fat burner dietary supplement and had worn a new pair of jeans without washing them. The reporter recommended she stop the supplement and not wear the jeans. On 11/19, she was seen by the reporter. She was in no acute distress. On exam, her thoracic back had scattered papular eruptions and she described her back as burning. Both axillae demonstrated redness, anterior to both axillae, and including the superior aspects of her breasts. And there was some degree of pre-existing facial acne. Redness, on a scale of 0-10, is deemed a 7. She also described her legs as pruritic. Findings on her legs were rather scant-faint scattered redness. Her lungs were clear. Heart rate and rhythm ok. He suspected an allergic reaction. He administered Kenalog 40mg IM in her deltoid. Since 11/20, she states itching is less. Redness has decreased on the right axilla, abut there was no change in her left axilla. As of today, there was no further changes.  The reporter is arranging for a dermatology consult. The reporter also located a relevant article in a journal. It discussed erythema nodosum skin reactions may occur rarely and may be associated with an immune complex etiology. The reporter could not rule out the Stacker 3 dietary supplement as a suspect, so it is also listed.

Symptoms: Glaucoma, Uveitis
Clinical narrative: Inflammatory glaucoma. Treatment for the inflammatory event subsequently diagnosed as Uveitis with open angle glaucoma has continued to date. These medical records are available for submission to Vaers. Additionally, and not reported with the original submission was a concurrent event of hematospermia which had not been observed in the pt's history prior to the vaccination series and has not been observed in the pt since the event occurred at the end of the vaccination series. This event resolved without squalae. These medical records have been compiled as well. Additionally, medical records (eye exams/blood chemistry and related tests) prior to the HEP B vaccinations series have been compiled for the record but not submitted to vaers as yet. These records have been compiled to assist CDC and the FDA to monitor the safety of vaccines. Reason for contacting vaers at this time is to find out if the group would like copies of the additional medical information as well as follow up treatment for the Uveitis/Open Angle glaucome as part of investigating this case and have information for future reference related to possible safety issue with the vaccine.

Clinical narrative: A report received on 10/9/02 from a consumer, concerning a 29 year old female vaccinee who experienced severe pain and swelling in the big toe after receiving a Fluvirin vaccine on 10/1/02. On 10/3/02 the pt experienced severe pain and swelling in the big toe after receiving one dose of Fluvirin vaccine IM on 10/1/02. The pt was seen by a physician in an emergency room. The physician took blood samples and suspected gout. The following day the pt was seen by her primary physician who also suspected gout. On 10/5/02 the pt was seen by a rheumatologist and states that the preliminary diagnosis appears to be gout, even though the pt's age, medical history and life style were not typically associated with gout. The rheumatologist checked the uric acid levels, which were not elevated. The physician prescribed oral anti-inflammatory medication and injected an unknown drug into the affected joint at the time of the appointment. The physician has not diganosed the pt with gout. It was unknown if the pt received flu vaccines in the past. At the time of reporting the pt had recovered. On 11/1/02 a follow up report was received. It was reported that the onset of symptoms began on 10/2/02. On 10/3/02 the vaccinee went to her doctor who suspected gout and took blood for uric acid levels. A foot x-ray was performed and was negative. The affected joint was injected on 10/5/02 and the pt experienced relief by the 10/6/02. The pt was concomitantly receiving the oral contraceptive pill orally. On 11/22/02 a follow up report was received confirming that the Fluvirin batch number was this manufacturer's batch number.

Clinical narrative: The pt received her 4 month shots on the morning of March 2, 1995 at the Health Department.  She also received her 2 month shots at the same facility as well.  Referring back to her pediatric medical records, my husband and I contacted the after-hours pediatric office at 9:34 p.m. on March 2, 1995 to report frightening reactions she was exhibiting.  Her pediatrician contacted us at home, listened to a list of the reactions she had, and asked us to immediately meet him at his office so that he could evaluate the pt.  Her reactions included a fever over 103, high-pitched crying, projectile vomiting, pale complexion, lethargic, uncontrollable shaking/jerking motions with "grunting sounds", face and lips turned blue.  By the time she was seen by Dr, she had stopped shaking, her complexion returned, she still had a fever and was not "back to normal".  Dr. assessed her and believed she had a direct reaction to her immunizations.  He specifically singled out the DPT immunization and made the suggestion that for future immunizations we consider only the DT vaccine and not the DPT.  He felt that the older the child becomes, the stronger the reactions would be if indeed the child was reacting to an immunization.  I told him that she had had a milder reaction to her 2 month shots (which is also documented in her medical records) and that I had contacted the nurse at their office to discuss her reactions of being lethargic, pale, fussy and making "grunting sounds".  We followed Dr.'s recommendation and only had DT immunizations administered from that day forward.  Her reactions, the assessment that night by Dr and his analysis of "adverse reaction for pertussis" is all documentated in her medical records.  Other than mild reactions (swelling at sight of injection, fever, fussy, etc.) with other vaccinations, we believed at the time that the reaction was temporary and t

Clinical narrative: This 45 year old retired army reserve major contacted the VHC to report his development of pemphigus vulgaris in temporal association to deployment. He was diagnosed in 8/92 with pemphigus and he questions the relationship between the development of his disease and the anthrax immunizations that he received while deployed in the Persian Gulf. He stated his unit received AVA #1 on 2/22/91 at 0800 hrs. He received the 2nd AVA two weeks later. He has record of this in his field notebook but the records of immunization and medications given were considered classified and were later destroyed. He reports beginning in the summer 1991 experiencing intermittent mouth erosions, blisters and cold sores while in the Gulf but they would spontaneously resolve and he never sought treatment. In January 1992 he experienced a sensation like popcorn or something was stuck in my throat. This sensation continued for about 6 months. In June 1992, he was diagnosed with strept throat and treated with antibiotics. The symptoms did not resolve and his buccal mucosa became acutely inflamed and he developed blisters throughout the mouth and throat. He also developed a few scattered small clusters of lesions on his trunk. For 6 weeks he could neither eat, drink nor talk due the severity of the lesions. He was seen by a civilian otolaryngologist and a dermatologist. A biopsy was done and confirmed the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris. He was started on prednisone and took it for the next 9 years at doses from 5-100mg qd. He had recurring flares of lesions in his mouth and occasionally on the scalp. He had occasional periods off the medication but flares of lesions always recurred necessitating restarting the medication. For the last year he has been on cellcept 500mg bid instead of prenisone. Initially he was free of symptoms but in the last 2 months, oral lesions have again erupted. He continued to function in his MOS but was involuntarily medically retired from the reserves in 1997 due to his lack of deployability secondary to his disease. In 1994 he filed a claim with the VA for a service-connected disability, which was denied. In 2000 he filed his own report.
