This case report details vaccine-induced measles.
PMID: Pediatr Dermatol. 2005 Mar-Apr;22(2):130-2. PMID: 15804301 Abstract Title: Vaccine-associated"wild-type"measles. Abstract: Measles is the most contagious of the childhood exanthems and is the leading cause of vaccine-preventable deaths in children, mostly in developing countries. The prodromal stage, consisting of high fever and the triad of cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis, is followed by a caudal progressing …

The hepatitis A vaccine induces the production of autoantibodies in healthy children.
PMID: J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol. 2011 ;21(5):389-93. PMID: 21905502 Abstract Title: Autoimmunity and hepatitis A vaccine in children. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Universal vaccination remains the most effective way of preventing the spread of many infectious diseases. Although most adverse effects attributed to vaccines are mild, rare reactions such as autoimmunity do occur.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to …
The vitamin K shot can cause fatal anaphylactic shock.
PMID: J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2014 Jul ;27(11):1180-1. Epub 2013 Oct 17. PMID: 24059412 Abstract Title: Anaphylactic shock due to vitamin K in a newborn and review of literature.

PMID: Toxicol Lett. 2020 Jan ;318:86-91. Epub 2019 Oct 24. PMID: 31669099 Abstract Title: Proton pump inhibitors block iron absorption through direct regulation of hepcidin via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated pathway. Abstract: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been used worldwide to treat gastrointestinal disorders. A recent study showed that long-term use of PPIs caused iron …
Cardiovascular risk of proton pump inhibitors.
PMID: Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2019 Jul-Sep;15(3):214-219. PMID: 31687101 Abstract Title: Cardiovascular Risk of Proton Pump Inhibitors. Abstract: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are effective agents for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). However, these drugs have not been approved for long-term use. Now sold over the counter, these agents are being used chronically for GERD …
