By 1988 it was possible to summarize the adverse effects reported after the distribution of over 1.8 million doses of plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (Table 1) (2). From 1982 onwards, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, and the manufacturers, Merck Sharp Dohme, had supported a special surveillance system to monitor spontaneous reports of reactions to plasma-derived hepatitis vaccine. During the first 3 years, about 850 000 persons were immunized. In all, 41 reports were received for one of the following neurological adverse events convulsion (n = 5), Bell s palsy (n — 10), Guillain-Barre syndrome (n = 9), lumbar radiculopathy (n — 5), brachial plexus neuropathy (n = 3), optic neuritis (n — 5), and transverse myelitis (n = 4). Half of these events occurred after the first vaccine dose. However, no conclusive causal association could be made between any neurological adverse event and the vaccine (3).
