[Guest guest]

" GlaxoKline Plc's rotavirus vaccine is associated with increased

pneumonia-related deaths and other adverse reactions, U.S. regulatory staff

said in documents posted on Friday.

The review comes ahead of a Food and Drug Administration advisory meeting

next Wednesday to consider approval of the oral vaccine to prevent the most

common cause of severe diarrhea and dehydration among infants and young

children in the world.

FDA staff said its analysis of 11 studies revealed that in the largest

trial, there was a statistically significant increase in deaths related to

pneumonia compared with placebo, documents posted on the FDA's Web site said. "
