Clinical narrative: It was reported by a female nurse that she received a dose of Fluzone (Trivalent types A & B). The last week of October 2000 for the first time, she has developed a "very severe skin condition called Bullous Pemphigoid and Linear IgA disease, which is an autoimmune disease". Currently, both of her hands and feet started to have more lesions. She has been dermatologists and also went to a hospital as well. Biopsy was taken to confirm Bullous Pemphigoid and Linear IgA disease. Follow up # 1. From the pt indicated that she has been visiting her dermotologist every 4-6 weeks in th past 2 years. the rash, which started  around Oct 17 (no year specified) on her face, is still present and spreading. She is experiencing severe itching, is extremely uncomfortable and has redness, swelling, and excessive tearing in her eyes. The lesion on both of her hands which started in 18 dec 2002, has not resolved. the center of her palms are raw, itch, and tight (contracture). She also reported that her whole body is now scar from the rash and lesions that started since Nov 2000. The Fluzone was administered IM n the left deltoid. The pt considered her skin condition resulted in permanent disability due to unable to perform duty. The follow up received on 2/27/03 from the pt reporting that since she is a nurse herself, and due to her ongoing condition since the vaccination, that she is on restrictive duty at work and to see no patients. She also reports that she has been taking many creams and ointments-prednisone, to ease her condition. Both of her hands are still affected and have gotten worse, they are oozing and itching. She has seen at least 3 dermatologists and she states that all of the doctors agree that she has autoimmune disease. Her biopsy results showed linear IgA and possible famkphogoid; pt has had to use all of her vacation time and her scheduled time off because of this condition.

Vaccine: PPV
Symptoms: Hernia, Multiple myeloma, Oedema, Pain
Clinical narrative: Pt is enrolled on protocol 0065 at the hospital. He signed consent 9/4/02 and has only received the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on 9/9/02. He came into hospital with c/o right arm pain. After careful assessment, a pathologist fracture of the right humerus was diagnosed. In addition, the pt has a left inguinal hernia which pre-dated his enrollment on study. The pt was admitted for a surgical consult for both complaints. Neither event will alter the treatment schedule for the study. Date of Visit: 9/9/02 I had seen the pt on 9/9/02 because of a complaint of right arm pain. For details of his disease, refer to the prior dictation of 9/5/02by MD. Briefly, complained of more or less of a sudden onset of right arm pain that has gradually increased in intensity. Today, he has limited range of motion related to that pain. The pt is able to pinpoint the pain to the midshaft fo the humerus. I have reviewed the skeletal survey that was done last week for involvement on the protocol, and it is clear that the pt has multiple lytic lesions affecting the midshaft of the humerus, which I believe is the reason for his pain. Of note, is the pt also noted that there is increased left inguinal swelling which has gone down the scrotum, and according to him, was turning blue in the last couple of days. On examination of that area, it is clear that the pt does have a large inguinal hernia extending into the scrotum. I was unable to detect any masses. This hernia was reducible on deep palpation and I really did not have any evidence of strangulation at this point. The testis was palpable below the inguinal hernia and was a normal size, and I could not palpate any hard masses. There is no lymphadenopahty in that area. However, because of the size of this lesion, I believe the the pt should have a Surgical consult for possible reduction to prevent any further complications, considering his age and the chemotherapy he is anticipated to undertake in the future. I will convey this info to MD. I do not believe that it should interfere with any of the protocol sequencing, however, we might want to postpone the Cytoxan mobilization until the reduction is obtained. I will leave the decision up to MD. This document has been read and signed. Please contact the medical records dept for any questions regarding this document. Final report: indication-multiple myeloma in hepatitis B pt, previous lesion right humerus, now painful, suspicious for fracture. Right humerus: two views are compared to the prior bone scan 9/4/02. Diffuse moth-eaten lucency extending through the mid humeral diaphysis with scalloping of the endostoal cortex is unchanged from previous without evidence of acute fracture. Area of abnormality extends over 9.5cm in vertical extent. This was seen on the prior bone scan. Focal luancies within the proximal humeral diaphysis are ntoed which were seen on prior study consistent with foci of multiple myeloma as well.

Clinical narrative: A legal complaint was received from an attorney alleging that a male child received series of Tripedia, ActHIB, and Recombivax-HB vaccines as well as Hib-TITER vaccine from 12/2/98 through 11/14/00 and subsequently "suffered devastating injuries through mercury toxicity and associated complications and sequelae and the aggravation of other condition directly through exposure, via IM injection of mercury" in the "thimerosal-containing vaccinations." According to the legal complaint, the child "was born a perfectly normal, healthy boy whose APGAR scores at birth were well within the normal range." It is alleged that at approximately 12 months of age, the child "was neurologically devastated by the accumulation of mercury in his body, having been exposed via IM vaccinations, and suddently regressed developmentally, losing milestones of neurological development previously achieved, specifically including, but not limited to becoming withdrawn, unresponsive to his environment, engaging in repetitive behavior and the loss of language skills." According to the legal complaint, the child "suffered severe and permanent injuries" and "sustained and will sustain in the future a mental, intellectual, developmental and neurological incapacity and associated learning disabilities, affect disorders and impairments." Vaccination information contained in the legal complaint indicated that the child received Tripedia, ActHIB, HibTITER, and Recombivax-HB vaccines beyond 12 months of age.

Clinical narrative: A legal complaint was received from an attorney alleging that a male child received series of Hib-TITER, Tetramune, Tripedia, Engerix B, and Recombivax-HB vaccines from 1/18/96 though 8/14/97, and subsequently "suffered devastating injuries through mercury toxicity and associated complications and sequelae and the aggravation of other conditions directly through exposure, via IM injection of mercury" in the "thimerosal-containing vaccinations." The reporter indicated that the child's neurological injuries are "severe, devastating and permanent." According to the legal complaint, the child "was born a perfectly normal, healthy boy whose APGAR scores at birth were well within the normal range." It is alleged that at approximately 18 months of age, the child "was neurologically devastated by the accumulation of mercury in his body, having been exposed via IM vaccinations, and suddenly regressed developmentally, losing milestones of neurological development previously achieved, specifically including, but not limited to becoming withdrawn, unresponsive to his environment, engaging in repetitive behavior and the loss of language skills." According to the legal complaint, the child "suffered severe and permanent injuries" and "sustained and will sustain in the future a mental, intellectual, developmental and neurological incapacity and associated learning disabilities, affect disorders and impairments."

Symptoms: Apnoea, Blood pressure decreased, Coma
Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a registered nurse concerning a newborn male who at birth, on approximately 8/16/02, was vaccinated with the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine recombinant (yeast). Within 30 minutes post vaccination, the patient experienced apnea, a drop in blood pressure and loss of responsiveness, for a couple of minutes. Unspecified medical attention was sought. At the time of report, 8/16/02, it was reported that the child is one month old now. On 9/18/02, the physician's office received a request for a referral for the child to see an allergist, due to the severe reaction that the child had to hepatitis B. That same day, it was reported that the child is now fine. The hospital discharge summary had not been received by the office, at the time of report. Upon internal review, apnea, blood pressure drop, and loss of responsiveness were determined to be other important medical events. Additional information has been requested. This is in follow-up to report previously submitted on 9/20/02. Information has been received from a health professional concerning a 3 day old hospitlaized female who was vaccinated on 8/13/02 at 11:20am in the left thigh IM with a first dose of hep B vaccine recombinant (lot 642479/0034M). There were no concomitnat medications. On 8/13/02 at 12:35pm (also reported as within 30 minutes post-vaccination) the pt developed severe peripheral cyanosis, stridor, laryngospasm, loss of muscle tone, apnea, a drop in blood pressure, and loss of responsiveness, lasting a couple of minutes. The pt maintained an oxygen saturation of greater than 97% on room air and was asymptomatic without any treatment approximately 30 minutes after onset of symptoms. It was reported that these events resulted in a prolonged hospitalization. On 9/18/02, the physician's office received a request for a referral for the child to see an allergist, "due to the severe reaction that the child had to hep B." That same day, it was reported that the child is "now" fine. On 10/1/02, the pt was reported as recovered. No further info is expected.

Clinical narrative: This report describes eye twitch in a 57 year old female who received Hepatitis B vaccine recombinant (Engerix-B). This report was received from the vaccinee and has been verified by a nurse. The subject had no relevant medical history or concurrent conditions. There was no family history of Bell's Palsy. Concurrent medications included alendronate  (Fosamax). On 05/07/02, the subject received her first injection of Engerix-B without adverse event. On 08/06/01, the vaccinee received her second injection of Engerix-B. Within eight hours, the left side of her mouth intermittently tilted downward. This event lasted 48 hours. Her left eyes had a twitch. The subject reported that the twitch lasted two weeks. The vaccine provider stated that the twitch resolved after two days. An unspecified hepatitis B titer measured on 01/25/02 was "positive".  The subject consulted a healthcare practitioner concerning the events. The vaccine provider indicated that no treatment was required. The vaccine provider considered the events to be related to Engerix-B administration, and the immunization series was discontinued. On 09/13/02, the vaccine provider stated that the events were serious; no reasons for this assessment was provided.

Symptoms: Fatigue, Hypoaesthesia, Myalgia, Polyneuropathy
Clinical narrative: A physician reported the occurrence of sensory polyneuropathy in a 47 year old female who was vaccinated with Lyme disease vaccine recombinant OspA (LYMErix) for prophylaxis. The subject was in "excellent health" prior to September 2001. The subject received no concurrent medications. *The subject experienced no adverse events following previous vax's. On 8/8/00, 11/3/00, and 9/18/01, the subject received her 1st, 2nd, and third LYMErix injections, respectively. 28 days following the 3rd LYMErix injection, on 10/14/01,* she experienced "extreme" fatigue, muscle pain, (mostly in her trunk which varied in intensity), and sensory polyneuropathy characterized by burning and numbness in *her arms, trunk, and legs.* These events occurred sometimes at the same time. The physician stated that the subject's laboratory studies and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and the spinal cord were all normal. Lyme titer was positive. A Western blot was sent by the local hospital to a tertiary hospital, which returned the Western blot saying that "it was unable to interpret the results due to Lyme vaccine." The subject has reportedly been seen by a neurologist, a rheumatologist, a "spinal specialist", and two rehabilitation specialists who have referred the subject back to the vaccine provider. The events have gotten progressively worse and has resulted in disability. As of 9/18/02, the subject was unable to work due to extreme fatigue and muscle pain and was unable to drive or to get out of bed without help. *As of 10/1/02, the MD reported the events of sensory poolyneuropathy and paresthesia, fatigue, and muscle pain persisted. The reporting MD stated that the events were possibly related to LYMErix administration.*
