TBE-vaccinated child died after tick bite
Published 2024-07-02
A nine-year-old child in Uppsala was fully vaccinated against TBE and had sufficient protection in connection with tick bites, but it was of no help. When the family sought treatment for the symptoms of meningitis, they were sent home - on the third hospital visit the child died.
It was in October 2023 that the child got a severe headache. This after having had several ticks before the illness and the last bite just a few days before the headache appeared.
A few days later, the family went to the children's emergency department at the Academic Hospital in Uppsala, where the headache was judged to be a migraine. The family was sent home.
But the pain got worse and the next day the family returned to the emergency room. The nine-year-old, who did not have a fever, was x-rayed and had to undergo neurological tests, but the doctors found nothing abnormal and the family was sent home again.
At home, the nine-year-old's condition worsened further with convulsions and the family went to the hospital a third time. On the third visit, the nine-year-old was taken to the intensive care unit and died shortly afterwards of meningitis caused by TBE.
The tick-bitten child was fully vaccinated against TBE and sampling showed antibodies with adequate protection.
- It is the first case in Sweden that I know of, says Johan Hedlund, the unit manager for infection control in Region Uppsala to state radio .
Reported
The academic hospital has made a notification according to lex Maria to the Inspectorate for Care and Care (Ivo). It is clear from the report that the family who was sent home twice experienced the doctors as stressful.
Furthermore, it appears that both the documentation and report at the hospital were not complete.
"Information that the patient had a pause in breathing has not appeared in over-reporting and is not available to read. Staff feel that the transfer of information can become a bit like a 'whisper game'", the documents read.
Ivo states that the severity of the handling was "catastrophic" but that the likelihood of recurrence is considered small.
