Acute Flaccid Paralysis

🛑 Estimating the extent of vaccine-derived poliovirus infection. “Eight outbreaks of paralytic polio attributable to circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) have highlighted the risks associated with oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use in areas of low vaccination coverage and poor hygiene.” “Although only 114 virologically-confirmed paralytic cases were identified in the eight cVDPV outbreaks, it is likely […]

Kawasaki

Bacillus Calmette-GuĂ©rin reactivation as a sign of incomplete Kawasaki disease. “An early and specific clinical sign, not included in the classical diagnosis criteria, but that can be very useful in the diagnosis of KD, is the reaction at the Bacillus Calmette-GuĂ©rin (BCG) inoculation site. We describe a case of a 4-month-old boy, fully immunised, whose […]

HIV

Absence of antibodies to HTLV-III in health workers after hepatitis B vaccination. “A proportion of the plasma for the triply inactivated, plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine produced in the United States is obtained from homosexual men. Because homosexual men are a high-risk group for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), concern has emerged that the vaccine could […]

Leprosy

Premature Infants

Adverse events following vaccination in premature infants. “Apparent adverse events were noted in 17 of 45 (37.8%) babies: 9 (20%) had major events, i.e. apnoea, bradycardia or desaturations, and 8 (17.8%) had minor events, i.e. increased oxygen requirements, temperature instability, poor handling and feed intolerance. Babies with major events were significantly younger (p < 0.05), […]

Cardiorespiratory

Near miss. — Apnea after immunization of preterm infants. “However, 12 (12%) infants experienced a recurrence of apnea, and 11 (11%) had at least a 50% increase in the number of apneic and bradycardic episodes in the 72 hours after immunization.” #Premature #Cardiorespiratory #Near #Miss #DTP #Hib #Bradycardia #Apnea #Respiratory #Cardiovascular #Vaccine #MedScienceResearch https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/9152284/ — […]
