Clinical narrative: Pt referred via consultation while she was on the Neurology Inpatient Service for evaluation of her "initiation of symptoms following vaccinations during basic training. She presents with concern for development of MS symptoms, post vax, including incidental finding of persistent eosinophilia. She had a nagging toothache for 2-3 months when she joined the US Army on 2/5/01 and it worsened and a tooth abscess was drained 3 days later. A small tooth chip was removed and stitches placed and she was placed on ibuprofen for pain. On 2/12/01, she received 5 shots and within 30 minutes, post vax, she developed a sensation of her right foot "falling asleep". This persisted and 2 days later, had increased to now involve her left leg but she was still able to do physical training (even passing a 1-mile run uphill). Over the next 2 weeks, the "numbness" sensation progressed to involve both hew lower extremities and symmetrically went up to her costal margin bilaterally. She was evaluated with the assessment of paresthesias and suspected neurological disease and neurology consult. She was admitted to the hospital on 3/12/01 but transferred to  another hospital on 3/13/01 to 3/20/01 for "increasing symptoms". She was evaluated by neurology and tests. Dx at that time was encephalomyelitis secondary to vaccination. She was treated with high dose steroids. Prior to admission she also complained of headache, nausea and fatigue which almost completely resolved with steroid course. Her paresthesias also diminished although were now confined to her right leg and trunk. She was started on Elavil and Motrin for pain on 4/27/01 and Neurontin and Septra on 4/30/01. She was placed on convalescent leave although during a road march 5-6 weeks after entering basic she developed slurred speech and facial droop and was dx'd with Bell's Palsy. She also had difficulty urinating. The dx of suspected MS was made and she again was treated with IV Solu-Medrol X 5 days and then a 2 week steroid taper. After review of her labs, she was again admitted to the hospital on 7/17/01. During her admission, Allergy/Immunology was consulted to address her vaccine issues and eosinophilia. Summary of symptoms since vaccines: paresthesias X 5 month; headaches X 2 months; fatigue X 5 months; pruritus X 5 months; light-headedness X 1 month; nausea X 3.5 months; intermittent emesis with headache; intermittent Bell's Palsy 4 times.

Clinical narrative: That afternoon, post vax, pt ran a low-grade fever and was treated with Tylenol. On 7/27/01, the pt had 2-3 bowel movements which consisted of a green pasty texture with loose stool. On 7/28/01, he had 2-3 bowel movements which were the same and also on 7/29/01. He was anxious while trying to nurse. It would take a couple of times to latch on and then finally nurse. At 16:00, parents noticed purple and red spots and small bruises on his legs (from mid-thigh down to ankles on both legs). Mother remembered reading article on meningitis and knew petechia/purpura were symptoms of a severe form of meningitis. Immediately, she call his pediatrician and he called back, immediately. Upon hearing of marks on the infant's legs, the doctor told mother to immediately take pt to ER. As soon as we arrived, the pt was taken into back room, weighed and temperature taken. He was seen by 2 doctors. He is catheterized for a urine sample and he is given an IV line in his right hand. Several tubes of blood are taken for CBC and other blood clotting test. They dx'd him with petechia and purpura and possible HSP. They told the mother to follow-up with his pediatrician because the infant may have taken a reaction to one of the vaccines, given 6 days prior. He was released to go home. Mother takes pt for follow-up visit and he still has petechia and purpura on his legs and he is also still experiencing several green, pasty textured loose stools today. The doctor reviews all test results from the hospital and determines that the infant appears to have taken an adverse reaction to the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. She advises mother to watch for fever, vomiting, more petechia/purpura spreading, crankiness, unwillingness to nurse, etc. Advised to contact her immediately if any of these symptoms occur. On 7/31/01, the pt had 2 green, pasty textured loose bowel movements today. He still appears anxious when attempting to nurse but finally latches on and nurses and still has petechia and purpura on legs. On 8/1/01, he had 3 green, pasty textured bowel movements today; still anxious when attempting to nurse and still has petechia and purpura on his legs. On 8/2/01, the pt had 1 green, pasty textured bowel movement and still appears anxious when attempting to nurse and still has petechia and purpura on legs. On 8/3/01, he had normal bowel movements and nursed normally today. On 8/6/01, the petechia and purpura are almost completely gone and on 8/8/01 he is eating and sleeping normally. His stools are normal and the petechia and purpura are now gone from his legs.
