Write-up: Information has been received from a health authority concerning a 25 month old male with a history of 2 episodes of uncomplicated fever convulsions who on 5/16/01 was vaccinated with the 1st dose of MMRII (lot unknown). There was no concomitant medication. On 6/4/01, 19 days post vax, the pt was found lifeless in his bed at 11:55 AM on his back with blue lips and vomit in his pharynx. It was reported that he had conjunctivitis the day before, upper respiratory infection for 1 day and a fever of 38.6C, in the morning but seemed unaffected. He went to sleep about 09:30 AM and at 11:30 AM was observed to be sleeping on his stomach. No petechia or other rash was noted. The autopsy showed no certain cause of death and the cause of death was classified as borderline SIDS. It was reported that no findings point to causal relationship to the vaccine. No further information is available.
