Eight months old child had history of unusual crying and convulsions following previous vaccination after BCG, DPT & OPV (first dose) and Hepatitis B. Now parents have brought child for next doses of vaccination. Which vaccine is contraindicated in this situation?
Unusual crying following DPT is most likely to be Persistent Inconsolable Screaming. Similarly, convulsions are most likely to be d/t DPT. Hence, DPT should not be given subsequently. It can be replaced by DT.
