Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Is this something to worry about... or is this just more propoganda? My son is 19 months and not vaccinated after first round (because of reaction and subsequent autism). Are there other ways to protect against it? He will never have another vaccine. Just wondering if I now have something else to worry about. Thanks. Truly, a Jab to counter rise in deadly disease Children are to be offered a booster dose of vaccine to provide added protection against potentially fatal Hib disease. The move, announced by Department of Health on Tuesday, follows an increase in cases of the disease, which can cause a number of serious illnesses in children, including a form of meningitis.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 This is in the UK, a, but it is probably just a bit of propaganda to get UK vaccination rates up. My dd is completely unvaxed, and I'm not worrying. If we lived in the state of fear the health authorities would like us to, we'd never get out of bed! Haemophilus influenzae isn't exactly rare - and I don't believe it is as deadly as they make out. Apparently, I have been told that I have (or had) the bacterium in a pneumatised turbinate in my nose. But I try and ignore what doctors tell me as often as possible! ) Love, light and peace, Sue " Do not judge your neighbour until you walk two moons in his moccasins " - Cheyenne proverb > Re: Jab to counter rise in deadly disease > > > Is this something to worry about... or is this just more > propoganda?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 You are so right Sheri!! They are idiots! I just read a study on this, the vaccine itself is causing more virulent strains, and the vaccine won't touch them. The same thing with the measles in another study. I believe 12 new strains were found. > >Is this something to worry about... or is this just more propoganda?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Here is the article. Emerging Diseases http://www.infectiousdiseasenews.com/200111/frameset.asp?article=Influenzae= ..asp New Haemophilus influenzae pathogen may be emerging Non-b serotypes of Haemophilus influenzae may be replacing Hib as a serious pathogen. November 2001 SALT LAKE CITY ? While Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) has been nearly eliminated as a major cause of serious disease in children, other serotypes, especially H. influenzae type a, may have acquired virulence traits and may be emerging as disease-causing pathogens. A recent report in Pediatrics described 5 cases of H. influenzae type a, 2 of which ?were strikingly reminiscent of disease caused by Hib,? said the report. In 2 other cases, infections were similar to Hib infections, but different enough to suggest that 2 distinct clones of H. influenzae type a may be circulating concurrently. Case reportsIn December 1998, a previously healthy 6-month-old girl presented to her doctor with lethargy, irritability and poor oral intake for 1 day, following episodes of altered consciousness and peripheral cyanosis. Upon admission to the hospital, her blood pressure was 40/20 mm Hg, pulse was 210 beats/min and her tympanic temperature was 39.4° C; there was purpura present on the nose, ear and legs, and petechiae on her face and trunk. Medical history revealed that she had received 3 doses of Hib conjugate vaccine. The infant required intubation and mechanical ventilation with fluid support and was given intravenous cefotaxime (Claforan, Aventis), vancomycin and gentamicin. Laboratory testing revealed a white blood count (WBC) of 4,900/mm3, hematocrit 27.5% and a platelet count of 35,000/mm3. Cultures of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood grew H. influenzae type a. Treatment was further complicated by renal failure, purpura fulminans and subdural empyema; soft-tissue necrosis ultimately required the amputation of 2 toes, said the report. The second patient, a 1-year-old girl, was admitted to the hospital in June 1999 with a 3-day history of vomiting, fever, irritability, diarrhea and seizures. The infant also had received 3 doses of Hib conjugate vaccine. An initial exam of the 1-year-old showed that she was toxic appearing and minimally responsive. CSF was cloudy; the WBC was 1,660/mm3, red blood count 70/mm3, glucose 34 mg/dl and protein levels were 300 mg/ml. Cultures of the CSF and blood grew H. influenzae serotype a. The second patient?s hospitalization was complicated by aseptic necrosis of the right femoral head and prolonged fever. Following 4 weeks of treatment with cefotaxime, she was discharged with evidence of reduced hearing and regression of fine and gross motor skills. Epidemiology and infectivityThere had been no reported cases of invasive disease caused by H. influenzae type a in Utah between 1991 and 1998. However, between November 1998 and October 1999, there were 4 reported cases in children ranging from 6-13 months of age. All cases displayed bacteremia and meningitis, and 3 had prolonged fever, subdural empyema and aseptic necrosis of the hip ? common markers for Hib. A review of laboratory records for the same period revealed a fifth patient who grew H. influenzae type a on pure culture. Previously reported cases of H. influenzae type a occurred exclusively in patients older than 5 years. Serotype a strains isolated from 3 of the patients demonstrated the IS1016-bexA deletion that has been described in invasive type a and type b strains. DNA sequencing, assisted by primers specific to IS1016 and bexA, amplified a 362 base-pair sequence that confirmed the finding. Three H. influenzae type a strains with the IS1016-bexA deletion may have recombined with a circulating Hib strain because Haemophilus strains are transformable. Most virulent Hib strains contain a 1,198 base-pair sequence that removes a portion of IS1016 and bexA, promoting gene amplification, resulting in an increase in the production of capsules and increasing the virulence of Hib. The areas where IS1016 and bexA are usually found are surrounded by transposable elements, further suggesting the possibility of a recombinant H. influenzae type a strain. The 2 other patients lacked the IS1016-bexA deletion, but nevertheless suffered invasive disease due to H. influenzae type a, the report stated.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Interesting, , thank you. I wonder if this is what's triggered the item I posted indirectly. They say the PHLS is reporting a slight increase in cases - maybe this is why. I don't suppose this mutant strain is anything to do with the vaccine, is it? ;o) Love, light and peace, Sue " Do not judge your neighbour until you walk two moons in his moccasins " - Cheyenne proverb > > > Here is the article. > > > > Emerging Diseases > > http://www.infectiousdiseasenews.com/200111/frameset.asp?article=I > nfluenzae= .asp > > New Haemophilus influenzae pathogen may be emerging > > Non-b serotypes of Haemophilus influenzae may be replacing Hib as a > serious pathogen. > > > November 2001 > > SALT LAKE CITY ?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Sue, you are very quick!! Hope the post comes through. I read another article it's four parts. They test the strain of virus of an infected person. From my take on it, it rarely is the strain in the vaccine, because they also test for the vaccine strain. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/441358 > Interesting, , thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Jackie, sorry this is late. Been busy with Childscreen. I've read about Horizontal Gene Transfer before. They are just in the last three years coming to the conclusion that viruses and bacteria can jump into human DNA. Of course, you would not see in any peer reviewed medical paper that immunization is one of the vectors. Below is a URL that explains the process.
