Abstract

Objective: to describe cases of anaphylaxis associated with the  attenuated dengue vaccine (TAK-003) in the Federal District, Brazil. Methods: an observational case series study including individuals who were reported in the e-SUS Notifica system between July 2023 and June 2024 and who presented anaphylaxis after receiving a dose of the live attenuated dengue vaccine TAK-003 in the Federal District. Inclusion followed the Brighton Collaboration criteria for the classification of anaphylaxis. Results: of the four cases of anaphylaxis, ages ranged from 6 to 21 years (median 11.5 years), all after the first vaccine dose. Two patients had no comorbidities; one had nephrotic syndrome and the other anxiety disorder. The interval between vaccination and symptom onset ranged from 30 to 150 minutes, with cutaneous manifestations predominating, followed by respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, and in one case, anaphylactic shock. Therapeutic management included the use of epinephrine in three cases. Two patients were hospitalized, and all evolved to cure without sequelae. Conclusion: anaphylaxis requires immediate recognition and treatment. The findings reinforce the importance of post-vaccination observation and team training for rapid and effective management of anaphylaxis, ensuring safety in the immunization process.
