    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: Hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes are rare side effects which may occur in infants within a few hours after immunization with diphtheria-tetanus-toxoid (DT) or diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine. The patients appear in a shock-like condition, become pale, limp and unresponsive. This condition lasts for minutes to hours before the infants appear normal again. No sequelae have been reported. The etiology of this phenomenon is unknown. Case: A healthy 5 month old boy experienced a first hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode 3 hours after having received his second DTP(acellular)-Hib combined immunization along with a second dose of hepatitis B vaccine. One month later he received a third dose of the same DTPa-Hib vaccine and oral Polio and again a hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode occurred. The boy’s further development was normal, no sequelae have been observed. Discussion: The purpose of our report is to remind physicians of the rare possibility of a shock-like reaction after DT- or DTP immunization in infancy, which has also been observed in association with the use of the new acellular pertussis component vaccines – although less frequently than after conventional whole cell pertussis component vaccines. Furthermore, this is to our best knowledge the first report of a recurrent hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode and it suggests a predisposition for this reaction in our patient.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Hypoton-hyporesponsive Episoden treten als seltene Begleiterscheinung binnen weniger Stunden nach Diphtherie-Tetanus- (DT-) oder Diphtherie-Tetanus-Pertussis-Impfung (DPT-Impfungen) im Säuglingsalter auf. Sie sind durch einen schockartigen Zustand mit Blässe der Haut, reduziertem Muskeltonus und Apathie gekennzeichnet, der Minuten bis Stunden anhält, ehe eine plötzliche Normalisierung mit Restitutio ad integrum eintritt. Die Ursache ist ungeklärt. Fall: Ein unauffällig entwickelter männlicher Säugling zeigte im Alter von 5 Monaten nach der 2. DTPa-Hib-Kombinationsimpfung (mit azellulärer Pertussiskomponente) eine erste hypoton-hyporesponsive Episode. Bei der 3. DTPa-Hib-Immunisierung 1 Monat später kam es erneut zu einer hypoton-hyporesposiven Episode. Beide Episoden blieben ohne Folge, der Junge entwickelte sich weiterhin völlig normal. Diskussion: Unsere Mitteilung soll an die seltene Begleiterscheinung einer schockähnlichen Reaktion nach DT- bzw. DPT-Impfung im Säuglingsalter erinnern. Sie wird auch bei den neuen, sehr gut verträglichen azellulären Pertussisvakzinen beobachtet, wenn auch offenbar seltener als nach DPT-Impfung mit den herkömmlichen Ganzkeimvakzinen. Das hier erstmals berichtete wiederholte Auftreten einer solchen Reaktion läßt bei unserem Patienten an eine individuelle Disposition denken.

    Notes: Abstract  The results of open carpal tunnel release using a short incision (2.5 cm) have been compared with those following a long incision (4.5 cm) in a prospective randomized study. Eighty patients were operated upon with a follow-up rate of 100%. The variables examined included grip strength, key and pulp pinch strength, sensory function and scar tenderness. Subjective variables such as tingling, numbness and night symptoms were specifically enquired into, and time for return to work was noted. The examinations took place pre-operatively, as well as one, two, three and six weeks post-operatively. Median time for return to work was 21 days for the short incision group and 18 days for the long incision group. The long incision resulted in a significant 10% loss of strength only at week three, otherwise no significant difference was found between the results of the two groups.
