Symptoms likely rare disease

A girl who was hospitalized a few days ago after receiving a

diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) vaccine in Depok has been

diagnosed as having Stephen Johnson syndrome, according to the

hospital’s paediatrician.

 

“The syndrome occurred after the girl was treated with some

medicines to cure the side effects that come naturally after an

immunization, such as fever,†Dr. Indra Sugiarno said Saturday during a

press conference in Depok’s Sentra Medika hospital.

 

The syndrome was not related directly to the immunization and giving

medication for fever after a an immunization is normal, Dr. Indra said.

 

 

Head of the Depok administration’s health agency explained the chronology of the case.

 

The seven-year-old elementary school student had an immunization of

a 0.5 cc DPT at her school on Feb. 4. The next day she felt pain in her

upper arm and shoulder. On the fourth day, Feb. 7, the pain had spread

to her neck as bumps began to appear on her skin.

 

By Monday, Feb. 9, the girl became weak and had a fever. The next

day she was given two kinds of medicine for her fever at a health

clinic, but her condition continued to deteriorate as the lumps spread

across her upper body.

 

The lumps continued to appear and, after being prescribed five kinds

of medicine by a doctor on Feb. 13, her condition continued to worsen;

her lips turned dark blue. On Feb. 14, after being taken to another

health clinic, she was referred to the hospital.

 

“The Depok administration will cover all expenses for the care of

the child, even if the conditions were not caused directly by the

immunization,†he said.

 

 

The immunization was part of a national program from the ministry of health..

“An immunization of DPT bears no absolute contraindication,†Indra

said. “It means there is no specific condition that can prevent a child

from being immunized.â€

 

He said the little girl needed to be hospitalized because the

syndrome could lead to infection, which can be fatal on open skin. The

danger level of the disease greatly depends on how large the area of

the open skin is.

 

Stephen Johnson syndrome is caused by hypersensitivity to medicines,

viruses, or infection Dr. Indra explained. The real cause of the little

girl’s case is yet to be determined by the experts studying her case,

he said.

 

 

“The disease has genetical susceptibility. The case rate is one in a million people a year,†he said.

 

The syndrome is mostly seen in forms of defiant reactions on skin and mucus membrane.

Dr. Hapsari, the dermatologist assigned to care for the girl said, “The condition of the girl is now getting better.â€

 

Prasetyo, the father of the girl, said his daughter can again eat

soft food after only being able to take nutrition intravenously.

 

 

As of Saturday morning the lumps had disappeared, but her neck, upper arm, and chest were blackened.

 

Early symptoms of Stephen Johnson disease include reddening of the

skin, which later turns to necrosis, causing the skin to blacken, Dr.

Hapsari said.

 

She said the condition of the skin might return to normal in a few

weeks. “It all depends on the treatment.†The color of the skin, he

said, might not return to its original shade.

 

Dr. Indra stressed that for the interest of the patient the

condition of the patient should be kept discreet, but the public’s

right to be informed — as the case was related to the national program

of immunization — led to the disclosure of the case, with the consent

of the patient’s parents. (iwp)

Hello,

 

Its really horrifying. One moment the child was well and the next

moment this. God alone knows what has happened to this girl on the

inside and when will it show up and as what?

Why are we unnecessarily allowing ourselves to go on a path that is

not as per the Laws of the Universe? We must fight for our right to

our own body and take up legal action against the concerned

authorities. Once again I think its time we took up this issue with

all reputed religious leaders. We must not allow greed to wipe out the

human race. Then next generation deserves better. We must start a fund

and get the help of " Universe Friendly " lawyer who can take up legal

cudgels on our behalf.

 

This is ONE in a million case that has come out in the open. What

about the other hundreds that must be quietly be swept under the

carpet

 

Regards,
