Recovering Compensation for Encephalitis Caused by Vaccines

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain and can affect people of all ages, including infants. Generally brought on by viral infections, it has also been linked to certain vaccines such as those containing pertussis bacteria (DTP, DTaP, P or DTP-Hib), measles, mumps, rubella or any of its components (MMR, MM or MMRV). Common symptoms include headache, fever, fatigue, and muscle or joint aches. More severe symptoms may include seizures, changes in behavior, confusion, and stroke.

At times, a claim for encephalitis caused by a vaccine can be filed when the first symptom manifests within the 72 hour time period referenced on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) Vaccine Injury Table. We will examine the details of your matter in order to advise you on the best course of action.

Helping Vaccine Injury Clients with Encephalopathy

Encephalopathy is a clinical syndrome that damages the brain leading to dysfunction and is characterized by an altered mental state. It has been linked to vaccines containing pertussis bacteria (whole cell, extracted or partial) as well as vaccines containing measles, mumps, and rubella virus. Symptoms range from bothersome to severe and may include memory loss, seizures, disorientation, cognitive decline and lethargy.

It is important to note that encephalopathy brought on by a vaccine has a specific time period in which symptoms generally occur. The time frame is outlined in the Vaccine Injury Table and is helpful in determining the cause of the neurological disorder. In some cases, the effects of the encephalopathy will resolve, but for others, the damage to the brain may become irreversible leading to chronic impairment. We will work diligently to determine what is necessary to provide you the help you deserve.
