A 61-year-old male patient with no prior history of allergy or adverse reactions to vaccines, received a left deltoid intramuscular injection (dose 1) of IMOVAX Rabies, sanofi pasteur SA lot number E0523-1, and then one partial dose intramuscular 4 milliliters (ml) injected around left thumb of IMOGAM Rabies-HT, sanofi pasteur SA lot number 26NJPW1 (not a valid lot number), on 01 August 2011. The patient after about 20 minutes from HRIG started to get diaphoretic, suffered total body paralysis, including being unable to close his eyes, but was able to breathe and hear. It was also reported that the patient had a severe adverse reaction and within a few minutes felt something "coming on" where he became lethargic with sweating and began to have neurologic deficits. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). By morning, he started to regain some movement. The physician planned to discontinue PEP (partial HRIG plus 2 doses of vaccine, on days 0 [HDCV] and 3 [PCEC], serum being obtained for day RV titer). The outcome was not recovered.

Clinical narrative: My daughter woke up as she normally did and fussed for a bottle. Her father went downstairs to get a bottle and warm it up. Upon returning to her crib he found her limp and unresponsive with the whites of her eyes turned pink. He tried to get a response from her by tickling her feet but got no reaction. Her father then called 911 where she was taken to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital she had suffered a stroke. She was put on an aspirator then flown by helicopter to another hospital. Upon my arrival to the hospital I was told that she had suffered from a subdural hematoma and that 90% of of these cases with this kind of damage was because of shaken baby syndrome. My daughter had NOT been harmed by ANYONE that she came in contact with. Because of her injuries her father and I are being investigated for child abuse, especially her father since he was alone with her that day. That day the state took custody of her and made us leave the hospital. Determined to find out how this happened to her we searched the internet where we came across articles written by doctors who have had cases where the parents were accused of abusing their child(ren). Most of these children had died from a subdural hematoma and an autopsy was done on these children. I the brains of these children were toxins from the pertussis vaccine which was given to them a week or less before they had died. It was exactly one week after receiving the DTaP vaccine that my daughter suffered the subdural hematoma. Also, her neurologist claimed that there were signs of old damage to her brain, and being only two and a half months old at the time and as well as only receiving the DTaP vaccine one week prior, I believe that the hepatitis B vaccine she received on the first day she was born may have played a part in her condition. (In my research I had found that the hepatitis B vaccine can mimic shaken baby syndrome). In addition to her subdural hematoma and stroke, her brain began to swell (which is another reaction to DTaP that I found) and seizures. Also, prior to this happening, she was having some vomiting issues and was taken to the doctors who found no explanation for her vomiting. My daughter is recovering very quickly and will be released from the hospital very soon, but to a foster parent and not us. It is assumed she will have problems because of this.

Symptoms: Yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease
Clinical narrative: This case was reported in a literature article and described the occurrence of yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease in a 22-year-old subject of unspecified gender who was vaccinated with Hepatitis A vaccine, (manufacturer unspecified), (non-gsk) Yellow Fever vaccine, typhoid vaccine (non-gsk) and diphtheria tetanus vaccine (non-gsk). Concurrent medical conditions included asthma. On an unspecified date, the subject received an unspecified dose of Hepatitis A vaccine (administration site and route unknown, batch number not provided), an unspecified dose of Yellow fever vaccine (unknown), an unspecified dose of Typhoid vaccine (Non-GSK) (unknown) and an unspecified dose of Diphtheria Tetanus vaccine (Non-GSK) (unknown). 1 day after vaccination with Diphtheria Tetanus vaccine (Non-GSK), Hepatitis A vaccine, Typhoid vaccine (Non-GSK) and Yellow fever vaccine, the subject experienced yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease. This case was assessed as medically serious by GSK. At the time of reporting, the outcome of the event was unspecified. The author considered the event was almost certainly related to vaccination with Hepatitis A vaccine, Yellow fever vaccine, Typhoid vaccine (Non-GSK) and Diphtheria Tetanus vaccine (Non-GSK). This case has been linked to case B0739797A : same literature article. Summary of the literature article: In 2004 the Clinical Consult Case Review (CCCR) working group was formed within the CDC-funded Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) Network to review individual cases of adverse events following immunizations (AEFI). Cases were referred by practitioners, health departments, or CDC employees. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) searches and literature reviews for similar cases were performed prior to review. After CCCR discussion, AEFI were assessed for a causal relationship with vaccination and recommendations regarding future immunizations were relayed back to the referring physicians. In 2010, surveys were sent to referring physicians to determine the utility and effectiveness of the CCCR service. CISA investigators reviewed 76 cases during 68 conference calls between April 2004 and December 2009. Almost half of the cases (35/76) were neurological in nature. Similar AEFI for the specific vaccines received were discovered for 63 cases through VAERS searches and for 38 cases through PubMed searches. Causality assessment using the probably related, 16 as possibly related, 18 as unlikely related, 10 as unrelated, and 17 had insufficient information to assign causality. The physician satisfaction survey was returned by 30 (57.7%) of those surveyed and a majority of respondents (93.3%) felt that the CCCR service was useful. The author's conclusion stated that the CCCR provides advice about AEFI to practitioners, assigns potential causality, and contributes to an improved understanding of adverse health events following immunizations.
