Indications / uses Dengvaxia is a vaccine used to help protect adult or children against dengue disease caused by dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Dengvaxia is given to adults, adolescents and children 9 through 45 years of age living in endemic areas. Dosage / direction for use The patient will receive 3 injections of 0.5 ml each at 6-month intervals. The first injection will occur at the chosen or scheduled date; the second injection, 6 months after the first injection; and the third injection, 6 months after the second injection. Dengvaxia should be used according to the local vaccination schedule. If the patient forgot an injection of dengvaxia: if the patient missed a scheduled injection, the physician will decide when to give the missed injection. It is important that the patient follows the instructions of the physician, pharmacist or nurse regarding return visits for the follow-up injection. If the patient forgets or is not able to go back to the physician, pharmacist or nurse at the scheduled time, ask the physician, pharmacist or nurse for advice. Administration: dengvaxia is given by the physician or nurse as an injection underneath the skin (subcutaneous route) in the upper arm. Contraindications Do not use dengvaxia if the patient is allergic (hypertensive) to the active substances or any of the other ingredients of dengvaxia listed in description (see description); has developed an allergic reaction after prior administration of dengvaxia. Signs of an allergic reaction may include an itchy rash, shortness of breath and swelling of the face and tongue; is suffering from a disease with mild to high fever or acute disease. In this case, the physician will postpone the administration of dengvaxia until the patient has recovered; has a weakened immune system, for example due to a genetic defect, hiv infection or therapies that affect the immune system (for example, high-dose corticosteroids or chemotherapy); is pregnant; is breastfeeding. Use in pregnancy lactation: dengvaxia must not be given to pregnant or breastfeeding women. If the patient is of child-bearing stage, the patient should take the necessary precautions to avoid pregnancy for 1 month following administration of dengvaxia; is pregnant or breastfeeding, the patient thinks may be pregnant or is planning to have a baby, ask the physician, pharmacist or nurse for advice before receiving dengvaxia. Special precautions Inform the physician, pharmacist or nurse before receiving dengvaxia if the patient is taking an immunosuppressive treatment (prednisone or equivalent to 20 mg or 2 mg/kg for 2 weeks or more). The physician will postpone administration of dengvaxia until 4 weeks after the treatment is discontinued; has experienced any health problems after prior administration of any vaccines. The physician will carefully consider the risks and benefits of vaccination. As with all vaccines, dengvaxia may not protect 100% of persons who have been vaccinated. Vaccination with dengvaxia is not a substitute for protection against mosquito bites. The patient should take appropriate precautions to prevent mosquito bites, including the use of repellents, adequate clothing, and mosquito nets. Fainting, sometimes accompanied by falling, can occur (mostly in adolescents) following, or even before, any injection with a needle. Therefore inform the physician, pharmacist or nurse if the patient fainted with a prior injection. Adults above 45 years of age: adults above 45 years of age should not receive the vaccine. Driving and using machines: no data are available on the effects of dengvaxia on the ability to drive or use machines. Use in children: children less than 9 years of age should not receive the vaccine. Side effects Like all medicines, dengvaxia can cause side effects, although not all patients get them. Serious allergic reactions: if any of these symptoms occur after leaving the place where the patient received an injection, consult a physician immediately: difficulty in breathing, blueness of the tongue or lips, a rash, swelling of the face or throat, low blood pressure causing dizziness or collapse. When these signs and symptoms occur they usually develop quickly after the injection is given and while the patient is still in clinic or physician's surgery. Serious allergic reactions are very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10, 000 people), after receiving any vaccine. Other side effects: the following side effects were reported during clinical studies in children, adolescents and adults (from 9 to and including 60 years of age). Most of the reported side effects occurred within 3 days after the injection of the vaccine: very common (may affect more than 1 user in 10): headache, muscle pain (myalgia), generally feeling unwell (malaise), feeling of weakness (asthenia), injection site pain, fever. Common (may affect up to 1 user in 10): injection site reactions: redness (erythema), bruising (hematoma), swelling, and itching (pruritus). Uncommon (may affect up to 1 user in 100): infections of the upper respiratory tract, dizziness, sore throat (oropharyngeal pain), cough, runny nose (rhinorrhea), nausea, skin eruption (rash), neck pain, hardening of skin at the injection site (injection site induration). Additional side effects in adults (from 18 to and including 60 years of age): uncommon (may affect up to 1 user in 100): swollen glands (lymphadenopathy), migraine, joint pain (arthralgia), flu-like symptoms (influenza-like illness). Additional side effects in children and adolescents (from 9 to and including 17 years of age: uncommon (may affect up to 1 user in 100): itchy rash (urticaria). Reporting of side effects or any suspected adverse event: if the patient experiences any side effects after vaccination, advised to seek immediate medical attention. By reporting side effects, it can help provide more information on the safety of the vaccine. Click to view adr monitoring form Interactions Using other medicines and dengvaxia: dengvaxia may not have an optimal effect if it used at the same time as medicines that suppress the immune system such as corticosteroids or chemotherapy. Inform the physician, pharmacist or nurse if the patient is taking or has recently taken any other vaccines or any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Caution for usage Before administering any biological, the person responsible for administration must take all precautions to prevent allergic or other reactions. As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision must always be readily available in the event of an anaphylactic reaction following the administration of dengvaxia. Epinephrine (1: 1000) and other appropriate agents used to control immediate allergic reactions must be available to treat unexpected events such as anaphylaxis. Dengvaxia must not be mixed with other medicinal products in the same syringe. Dengvaxia must not be administered by intravascular injection under any circumstances. Syncope (fainting) can occur following, or even before, any vaccination as a psychogenic response to injection with a needle. Procedures should be in place to prevent injury from falling and to manage syncopal reactions. Separate syringes and needles, separate injection sites and preferably separate limbs must be used if any other vaccine (s) or medicinal product (s) is/are concomitantly administered. Dengvaxia is reconstituted by transferring all the solvent (0.4% sodium chloride solution) provided in the blue-labeled pre-filled syringe into the vial of freeze dried powder with a yellowish green flip off cap. The pre-filled syringe is fitted with a sterile needle for this transfer. The vial is then gently swirled. After complete dissolution, a 0.5 ml dose of reconstituted suspension is withdrawn into the same syringe. For injection, the syringe should be fitted with the new sterile needle. The suspension should be visually inspected prior to administration. After reconstitution, dengvaxia is clear, colorless liquid with the possible presence of white to translucent particles (of endogenous nature). After reconstitution with the solvent provided, dengvaxia must be used immediately. Any unused dengvaxia or waste material should be disposed of, preferably by heat inactivation or incineration, in accordance with local regulations. Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask a pharmacist on how to throw away medicines that no longer use. These measures will help to protect the environment. Storage Store in a refrigerator. Do not freeze. Keep the vaccine in the outer carton in order to protect it from light. Description After reconstitution, one dose (0.5 ml) contains 4.5-6.0 log10 ccid50* of each serotype of the cyd dengue virus** (1, 2, 3 and 4). * ccid50: 50% cell culture infectious dose. ** produced in serum-free vero cells by recombinant dna technology. The powder is a white, homogenous, freeze-dried powder with possible retraction at the base, and may form a ring-shaped cake. The solvent (0.4% sodium chloride solution) is a clear, colorless liquid. After reconstitution with the solvent provided, dengvaxia is a clear, colorless liquid with the possible presence of white to translucent particles. Excipients/inactive ingredients: essential amino acids including l-phenylalanine, non-essential amino acids, l-arginine hydrochloride, sucrose, d-trehalose dihydrate, d-sorbitol, trometamol, urea, sodium chloride, water for injections. Mechanism of action Dengvaxia contains dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3 and 4 that have been weakened. Dengvaxia works by stimulating the body's natural defenses (immune system), which produces its own protection (antibodies) against the viruses that cause dengue disease. Dengue is a viral infection transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected aedes mosquito. Dengue is not transmitted directly from person-to-person. Nevertheless the virus which replicates in an infected individual can be transmitted to other humans through mosquito bites for 4-5 days (maximum 12 days) after the first symptoms appear. Dengue disease results in a wide range of symptoms including fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands or skin rash. Symptoms usually last for 2-7 days. Dengue disease can also be asymptomatic. However, occasionally dengue can be severe and potentially lead to hospitalization and in rare cases to death. Severe dengue is characterized by high fever and any of the following symptoms: severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rapid breathing, severe bleeding, bleeding in stomach, bleeding gums, fatigue, restlessness, coma, seizure and organ failure.

When there is pediatric streptococcal infection to children or adults, there is onset or aid in a neuropsychiatric disorder or condition called pandas (autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infections). Pans (pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome) is an umbrella under which pandas come as a subtype. Pans have many triggers and associated causes due to which different problems occur in the body. In pandas main symptoms are: ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder) and tics. In 1998, susan swedo was the first to describe the pandas in patients at the us national institute of mental health. Many of the world are seeking fucking each other with itself. How do I know my mind is learning, many have causes like this ; Symptoms: Symptoms and signs for pandas occur in episodes which can last for a week. After occurring for a period it goes back and returns again on triggers. Psychological symptoms in pandas are: Mood may change from sorrow to happiness or vice versa, personality changes occur with unexpected rage or frustration may be seen. There are clinical signs of depression and anxiety which cause patients difficulty in sleeping. Due to psychological problems patients are not able to have food which is necessary. Due to psychological problem we carry many things in the world Psychological problems can cause the brain to produce bad dreams more so there is bedwetting seen in children. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is seen in pandas patients. Ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder) is the main symptom. There may be excessive thoughts and fears. Tics (sudden movements of words from mouth, stumbling) Neurological symptoms in pandasare: All the truth he is giving through his words must be understood bye otherwise it doesn't matter . Life is this only being midorce always to see yourself with eye. To live is to live without disturbance. Muscles are controlled by the brain so there are motor problems like writing imbalance. Due to adhd, there is difficulty in concentrating or learning. Gum learnin Children's performance in school, society. Cognitive skills may get affected in this. Many are irritated by lights. ;Ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder): Obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd) patients produce many thoughts with their fear (obsessions) in a pattern that makes us do a behavior which gets repeated due to pattern production of thoughts. This behavior when stopped willingly causes conflicts and anxiety. How much we try to get rid of it, it keeps coming until those brain cells change. The evil cycle of ocd becomes ritualistic. Symptoms: Fear of germs or dirt on personal things as well as on other things. These things must be arranged in order and symmetrically. Taking bath multiple times. Many aggressive and unwanted thoughts. Utensils are washed many times.(washing and cleaning multiple time) Handwashes are done until the skin becomes raw. Checking the thighs of the on/ off system regularly. Sexual images pr religious images may occur frequently. ; Pandas syndrome is caused by- When childrens or adults get infection with strep, as defense their body produces antibodies to fight out the bacteria that causes it. As strep can mimic the healthy cell so antibodies also start to kill the healthy cells. Some reports say that this affects the brain tissues, mainly basal ganglia, causing pandas. Mechanisms: The mechanism of pandas occuring is similar to rheumatic fever. Streptococcus infect the body which causes our body to defend itself. Immune system produces antibodies that attack basal ganglia cells and cause neuropsychiatric conditions. Streptococcus bacterial cell walls have antigens that are similar in protein of the brain and tissues. The antibodies damage that tissue. This mechanism also happens in rheumatic fever. Strep bacteria are destroyed by antibodies but due to similarity joints (arthritis), brain, blood veins get damaged. In pandas antibody damages the brain cell typically basal ganglia that helps the body with movement. This damage causes ocd and tics in humans. ; Pans and pandas: 1) pans stands for pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome. Whereas pandas stands for autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus infections. 2) pandas are related to strep infection but pan is related to other diseases like lyme diseases (caused by the bacteria scientifically named as borrelia burgdorferi and borrelia mayonii. When any infected tick bites human it gets transferred. Fever, headache, fatigue migraines are the symptoms) and influenza. Diagnosis of pandas There is no test to run to diagnose pandas. But a clinical health provider can evaluate child symptoms and his/ her performance on a physical test. A cunningham pane is a tool developed and commercialized by moleculera labs used to diagnose pandas and pans. It uses antibodies assay to detect the problem. ; Treatment: Antibiotics: children who are infected with strep have symptoms like fever, pain, swallowing difficulty. They need antibiotics. Cognitive behavioral many have not known what to say therapy I am forgetting myself in all this happening. Entirely I am still the part of self who is enquiring i never see it. I can thought about it. But never see it from our own eyes. Yoghurt and checkin many thing else. Sometime I feel like I forget everything something. We are lopsided. Our brains are like that lopsided, feared fearing is a disease like I am not feared now because there not any movement of thought. So where is fear? now paralysis fear is depended on memory. With memory there is no fear. Am I seeing partial not lopsided. Do my seeing is whole (cbt): it is a psychotherapy given to patients. It helps to change the condition in the mind resulting from strep infection. There is also a session for regulating the emotional difficulties in daily activities. Prevention: Patients with active strep infection should be avoided- We should not share food and drinks. Personal items may be avoided to share such as toothbrushes. When people sneeze cover your nose and who does should sneeze while covering. ; Wash your hands with soap and clean it with sanitizer frequently. Conclusion: This pandas or pans condition is not treatable with allopathy. Antibiotics can kill the bacteria but ocd can only be removed by therapy and meditation. People are advised to do yoga and meditation. People with ocd should be cared for and taught what is true. Children should take care mostly because this can affect their whole life. For more information please meet doctors and psychiatrists.
