The subject received the 3rd dose of DTPa-HBV-IPV (intramuscular, left thigh) on 21-DEC-2018, for prophylaxis.

Relevant Tests: On 31Oct2019 Chest x-ray, showed atelectasis (no pneumonia). On 01Nov2019, Renal function panel performed unremarkable. The investigator considered that there was no reasonable possibility that the bronchiolitis may have been caused by Bexsero vs Placebo, DTPa-HBV-IPV, Rotarix lyophilized formulation, Hiberix, M-M-R II, Varivax and Prevnar 13. The company considered that there was no reasonable possibility that the bronchiolitis may have been caused by Bexsero vs Placebo, DTPa-HBV-IPV, Rotarix lyophilized formulation, Hiberix, M-M-R II, Varivax and Prevnar 13.

Max respiratory support was 14L high flow. He improved with nasal suction and albuterol treatments. Respiratory support was weaned and he was able to be transferred to the hospital floor. Remained hospitalized for additional 2 days, able to wean down oxygen support to room air and remained stable on room air overnight prior to discharge.
