Article Abstract
Diphtheria,tetanus and pertussis vaccine may on rare occasions be associated with the development of severe acute neurological illnesses that can have serious sequelae.Some cases may occur by chance or have other causes.The role of pertussis vaccine as a prime or concomitant factor in the aetiology of these illnesses cannot be determined in any individual case.The balance of possible risk against known benefits from pertussis immunisation supports continued use of the vaccine.
