[Optic neuritis as a complication in preventive tetanus-diphtheria-poliomyelitis vaccination: a case report].
Klinische Monatsblätter Für Augenheilkunde 2001 January
BACKGROUND: The preventive value of vaccinations is generally accepted. Public recommended vaccinations are administered frequently and therefore even rare complications may occur.
PATIENT: We report on a 56-year-old patient who suffered from an acute unilateral optic neuritis, following ten days after vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis. A complete remission occurred within six weeks after intravenous megadose prednisolone.
CONCLUSIONS: Neurological and ophthalmological complications following vaccinations are rare, and in most cases reversible.
