Age: 0.25
Sex: F
Vaccine: DTP
Symptoms: Akinesia, Balance disorder, Convulsion, Encephalopathy, Gait disturbance
Clinical narrative: Began seizing 2-3 hours, after given the DPT vaccine and was hospitalized after each DPT vaccination. Became severely retarded. Per MD, the 1st convulsion lasted several hours and she has continued having them, especially with fever, but also without fever. Some of these are quite prolonged and the mother recalls one time when she had twitching intermittently all day. The parents state she has these after every DPT injection, which was given in half doses after her initial reaction, the convulsions became worse. At the present time, she actually has 2 types; the 1st type consists of right or left tonic and clonic movement, lasting 3 to 5 minutes. She also has akinetic or drop seizures which cause her suddenly to be thrown backwards, falling to the floor, but she will get up immediately. For the past year, she takes Phenobarbital and Mysoline 3 times a day. She used to be on Dilantin but no longer takes that. She has been hospitalized at least 6 times for seizures. She has had physical therapy which did not help. The mother has a history of seizures. The child is quite retarded. She has an ataxic gait with unsteadiness. She is small size. I think the basis for this is quite clearly due to the reaction to IZ or in other words, post pertussis encephalopathy. I don't think there is anything that can be done for the child except to continue her anti-convulsants and I do think that when she gets bigger she may be somewhat of a management problem and require institutionalization. I told the family that this is not hereditary and they should go ahead and have further children but with an absolute contraindication that no subsequent child should receive DPT but only DT.
