Adverse Event Description

HIB + HEP B
(COMVAX) (287)

Immunized on 2/26/02.
Developed hemolytic, uremic
syndrome on 3/1/02. (Atypical
presentation/course ) requiring
emergency dialysis.

DTAP (INFANRIX)

Immunized on 2/26/02.
Developed hemolytic, uremic
syndrome on 3/1/02. (Atypical

POLIO VIRUS, INACT.
(POLIOVAX) (9)

Immunized on 2/26/02.
Developed hemolytic, uremic
syndrome on 3/1/02. (Atypical
presentation/course ) requiring
emergency dialysis.

MEASLES + MUMPS
+ RUBELLA (MMR II)
(26)

It was reported in a published
article that a 22 year old
Indian male patient with a
history of an episode of
measles­related immune
thrombocytopenic purpura
(ITP) at the age of 4 years
(despite treatment with
plasma exchange, his renal
failure progressed and he
remained dialysis dependent)
was vaccinated with a dose of
MMR as part of the
requirements for overseas
travel. Subsequently, the
patient developed diarrhea­
negative haemolytic uraemic
syndrome (HUS). Renal biopsy
revealed virtually complete
obliteration of the arcuate
artery by smooth muscle
proliferation and mocoid
change, with negative
immunofluorescence studies.
Blood film examination
showed fragmented red blood
cells. The authors reported
that the development of HUS
following measles virus
vaccine live (MMR) vaccine
live in the patient did not
prove causality; however, they
felt that the fact that the
patient had previously
developed measles­related ITP
suggested that the patient had
an underlying tendency to
mount an abnormal reaction to
the measles virus. They also
noted that on subsequent
exposure to the measles

component of the MMR virus
vaccine live, the patient again
developed an abnormal
reaction, which manifested
clinically as HUS. The authors
reported that their case,
together with the previously
reported pediatric case of MMR
virus vaccine live
(WAES0205USA03164)
associated HUS, served to
'flag up' HUS as a potential
complication of MMR virus
vaccine live vaccination,
although does not confirm its
underlying etiology to be MMR
virus vaccine live vaccination.
Upon internal review,
haemolytic uraemic syndrome
was determined to be an other
important medical event/
Additional information has
been requested. This is a
follow up report previously
reported on 03Jun02. This is
an amended report. The
reference WAES number in the
narrative has been changed
from WAES0209USA0314 to
WAES97060729. A copy of the
published article is attached as

It was reported in a published
article, that an 18 month old
male pt was vaccinated with a
dose of MMR II vaccine.
Subsequently, the pt presented
with lower limb purpura and a
bloody diarrhea 12 days after
MMR II vaccination. On day 14,
the pt developed acute renal
failure, anemia and
thrombocytopenia. Renal
biopsy revealed thrombotic
microangiopathy, with
negative immune studies.
Polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) for Escherichia coli
0157:H7 on blood and stool
samples was negative. Upon
internal review, haemolytic

Additional info has been

and confirmed pneumonia. A
urine latex AG was performed
and the results indicated urine

positive. Day 2 of
hospitalization, video­assisted
thoracoscopic surgery was
performed; results were not
provided. The reporter
indicated that there were no
complications of surgery.
Treatment consisted of
cefuroxime, azithromycin,
methylprednisolone and
ampicillin sodium/sulbactam.
Day 3 of hospitalization
brought sudden death.
Laboratory tests performed at
resuscitation were:
hemoglobin, 0.6 g/dL; platelet
count, 20,000; white blood cell
count 18,000. The autopsy
reported cause of death was
hemolytic­uremic syndrome.
The reporter indicated that this
was related to likely
pneumococcal infection. No
additional information was
available at the time of this
report.
It was reported in a published
article, title as stated above,
that an 8 month old white
male pt with complete factor H
deficiency and atypical
hemolytic uremic syndrome
(AHUS) who was vaccinated
with pneumococcal 23v
polysaccharide vaccine
(manufacturer unk) within a
few days experienced an aHUS
crisis. Molecular genetic
analysis found a point
mutation in position T12770A,
which introduces a premature
