In 1.4% of children who experienced a seizure during the first seven years of life, the seizure followed within two weeks of an immunization procedure. We report 40 postimmunization seizures in 39 children enrolled in the Collaborative Perinatal Project. Ten seizures followed diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) immunization, and 10 followed measles immunization. All but one of the seizures were associated with fever, often high. Thirty-seven seizures lasted less than 30 minutes. More than half of the children had a personal or immediate-family history of febrile seizures. One of the children had a right focal seizure lasting six hours after DPT immunization and had a significant speech deficit on long-term follow-up. No child developed epilepsy, and results in all children with brief seizures were normal on neurologic and cognitive examination at 7 years of age. Both in clinical presentation and generally benign outcome, these immunization-related seizures closely resemble febrile seizures, which are common in early childhood. ועוד מקור שמנסה להרגיע- המרכז לבקרת מחלות: J Child Neurol. 2004 Jun;19(6):405-12.

[email protected] In the United States and many other developed countries, active immunization of children has virtually eliminated poliomyelitis, measles, rubella, tetanus, and other diseases, such as disease due to Haemophilus influenzae type b. Individual vaccines can produce systemic or neurologic reactions ranging from minor events, such as pain and erythema at the injection site, to major complications, such as seizures, shock, encephalopathy, or death. Immunization programs have also generated considerable controversy, as witnessed by recent concerns regarding the relationship between vaccines or their constituents and autism or multiple sclerosis. This review summarizes current information regarding vaccines, the diseases that they prevent, and the potential relationships between vaccines and neurologic disease.

[email protected] Public tolerance to adverse reactions is minimal. Several reporting systems have been established to monitor adverse events following immunization. The present review summarizes data on neurologic complications following vaccination, and provides evidence that indicates whether they were directly associated with the vaccines. These complications include autism (measles vaccine), multiple sclerosis (hepatitis B vaccine), meningoencephalitis (Japanese encephalitis vaccine), Guillain-Barre syndrome and giant cell arteritis (influenza vaccine), and reactions after exposure to animal rabies vaccine. Seizures and hypotonic/hyporesponsive episodes following pertussis vaccination and potential risks associated with varicella vaccination, as well as vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis following oral poliovirus vaccination, are also described. In addition, claims that complications are caused by adjuvants, preservatives and contaminants [i.e. macrophagic myofasciitis (aluminium), neurotoxicity (thimerosal), and new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (bovine-derived materials)] are discussed.
