Write-up: Information has been received from a physician concerning an 18 year old male patient with acne and no drug allergy or reaction who on 16-MAY-2011 was vaccinated with the first dose of GARDASIL (Lot number 668554/0306AA; Expired date: 10-MAY-2013) and a dose of VAQTA (Lot number: 670377/0126AA; Expired date: 07-DEC-2013, dose in series unknown). On 22-JUL-2011, the patient received the second dose of GARDASIL (Lot number 668262/0841AA; Expired date: 18-APR-2013). Concomitant therapy included SEPTRA. Follow up phone call from the physician was received. The physician reported that the patient had no medical history.

The physician also reported that there was no indication from the patient that he was troubled. On 27-JUL-2011 the patient committed suicide. The cause of death was asphyxiation by hanging. The death report that the physician received was that the patient had a normal examination. The Toxic screen indicated that there were no medications involved in the patient''s death. The patient''s mother had asked the physician if GARDASIL could have caused her son to commit suicide.

The physician stated that he was not aware of any reported deaths by suicide that were related to GARDASIL.
