| Abstract |
|
Bell's palsy is an idiopathic peripheral facial nerve palsy of acute onset. Although some studies have reported cases of Bell's palsy after certain vaccinations, reports of Bell's palsy in association with diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccination (IPV) have been rare. Here, we report two infants who suffered from Bell's palsy after immunization with DTaP and IPV and recovered completely without neurologic deficits. |
