The clinical spectrum of the oculo-respiratory syndrome after influenza vaccination

摘要

Oculo-respiratory syndrome (ORS), a new influenza vaccine associated adverse event, was identified in 2000. The 2000 case definition (ORS-2000) required the presence of bilateral red eyes or respiratory symptoms or facial edema occurring between 2 and 24 h following immunization and lasting less than or equal to48 It. We compared clinical manifestations of cases outside these timelines. Cases were classified as ORS-early (onset <2 h after immunization), ORS-late (onset >24 h), ORS-persistors (duration >48 h).
