Life Threatening? No Write-up: This case concerns male who had had influenza vax 48 hours prior to chemotherapy. On day 3, after the carboplatin based tridrug chemotherapy with blood brain-barrier disruption (vertebral artery), he experienced respiratory arrest and rapid progression of quadriparesis. The pt remained quadriparetic and ventilator dependent and died 75 days after chemotherapy treatment. The authors conclude that the pathophysiology of the complication seen in the 7 pts is multi-factorial but may be related to vascular streaming and an atypical inflammatory toxic reaction to carboplatin or etoposide. The complication has not recurred during a 6 month period following modification of the protocol. Date of vax and onset not specified and therefore assumed to be associated with the 1999/1999 influenza season. | ||||||||||||||||||||
