Chronic adverse reactions associated with hepatitis B vaccination.
The Annals of Pharmacotherapy 2002: Vol. 36,
No. 12, pp. 1970–1971.
In conclusion, our study demonstrates that
adult HBV is statistically associated not only
with acute neuropathy, neuritis, myelitis, vasculitis, thrombocytopenia,
gastrointestinal disease, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis, but some of these
patients go on to develop chronic adverse reactions that persist for at least 1
year following HBV. These types of chronic adverse reactions following
adult HBV should be discussed with patients contemplating being immunized with
HBV and should be included in the differential diagnosis of those who develop
them following adult HBV.

immunisation with recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Lancet. 1991 Nov
9;338(8776):1174-5. PMID: 1682594 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
2 patients had neurological symptoms and signs, with evidence of
central-nervous-system demyelination, 6 weeks after administration of recombinant
hepatitis B vaccine. 1 had known multiple sclerosis but the other had no history of
neurological disease; both had HLA haplotypes DR2 and B7, which are associated with
multiple sclerosis. A causal link between vaccination and demyelination cannot be
established from these 2 case-reports, but the time interval would fit a proposed
immunological mechanism.

disseminated encephalitis or MS? Federation de Neurologie, Hopital de la Salpetriere and
Faculte de Medecine Pitie-Salpetriere (Paris VI) France.
OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical and MRI features of patients with a disease suggestive of
CNS inflammation after hepatitis B vaccination. METHODS: Eight patients with confirmed CNS
inflammation occurring less than 10 weeks after hepatitis B vaccination are described.
They received follow-up clinically and on MRI for a mean period of 18 months. RESULTS:
Clinical and MRI findings were compatible with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
However, clinical follow-up, repeated MRI, or both showed the persistence of inflammatory
activity, which makes this encephalitis more suggestive of MS than of acute disseminated
encephalomyelitis. CONCLUSION: The persistent inflammatory activity observed clinically
and on MRI in these patients is comparable with that usually observed in MS. Epidemiologic
studies are currently testing the hypothesis of a triggering role of hepatitis B
vaccination in CNS demyelination. PMID: 10430433, UI: 99357502

BACKGROUND: The cause and effect relationship between anti-HBV
immunization using recombinant vaccine and the development of a neurological event,
including flare-ups of multiple sclerosis, is a widely debated issue.
CASE REPORT: A previously asymptomatic 16-year-old girl was a hyper-responder to anti-HBV
vaccine. Subsequent to a booster shot of anti-HBV recombinant vaccine, she developed
regressive acute cervical transverse myelitis with intrathecal oligochonal IgG secretion
and a hypersignal on the MRI T2 sequences of the cord.
DISCUSSION: The distinction between a first episode of multiple sclerosis or post-vaccinal
acute myelitis in this case will depend upon subsequent course, but this observation
points out the very high level of persistent post-vaccinal immunization which can be
acquired by a hyper-responder. PMID: 10442059, UI: 99370647

Zintchenko (1965) has reported 12 patients in whom multiple sclerois first became evident after a course of anti-rabies vaccination--British Medical Journal 2:210-213, 1967.
Multiple sclerosis has been reported to become clinical apparent or be exacerbated following immunization with a variety of vaccines (Paffy & Merei, 1961); (Miller et al., 1967).

3A. British Medical Journal 1967, April 22, 210-213
The authors present 9 cases of multiple sclerosis, 5 cases first occurred after vaccination and 4 cases had exacerbations after immunization. They say (p. 212 second column last paragraph) "That vaccination and inoculation sometimes provoke exacerbations seems certain, and they are clearly better avoided by the patient except in circumstances that render the hazard preferable to the alternative (page 212, column 2 last paragraph)"

The paper reviews several cases of vaccine associated multiple sclerosis. " In 6 of 8 cases reported, neurologic syndromes first manifested as complications of the administration of a serum or vaccine and later development corresponded to that of multiple sclerosis (summary page 170)"

The author reports 5 cases of multiple sclerosis occurring after swine flu vaccination.
3E. J. Neurological Sciences 26:259-270, 1975
The authors describe three cases of multiple sclerosis associated with vaccination.
"The attention needs to be drawn to the 3 cases in this series in which there was some relationship to vaccination (page 268 last paragraph)."
