Abstract

Severe adverse events were evaluated in a comparative efficacy trial in Germany in infants who received either the Lederle/Takeda acellular pertussis component DTP (DTaP) vaccine, the Lederle whole-cell component DTP (DTP) or DT vaccine. Vaccinees received four doses (at three, four-and-a half, six and 15-18 months of age) of either DTP or DTaP vaccine or three doses at three, four-and-a half and 15-18 months of age) of DT vaccine. The analysis included 4,273 DTaP recipients, 4,259 DTP recipients and 1,739 DT vaccinees. Convulsions within three days of vaccination occurred in 1/15,912 doses in DTaP recipients and 1/3,926 doses in DTP vaccinees (p = 0.22). Persistent inconsolable crying was more common in DTP vaccinees (1/113 doses) compared with DTaP (1/497 doses, p > 0.001) and DT (1/359 doses, p > 0.001) recipients. High fever (> or = 40.5 degrees C) was less frequent in DTaP vaccinees (1/16,239 doses) compared with DTP (1/5,359) and DT recipients (1/4,665). One hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode was observed.
