Just drive-by thinking here (I googled wegener since I was curious). I will assume that the patient didn't get classified because he/she had the mild form of the disease. So either (1) the patient progressed while "on drug" or (2) the drug had initiated the disease w/progression. I understand why someone may think that 2 doses over a month may not give a problem. But the drug is an immune stimulator so (2) is bad but is (1) much much better? This drug is a vaccine and not one that is uniquely capable in HBV. I don't think one can expect much support for prescreening for autoimmune problems unless there is a niche that can only be serve by this drug.

The easy out would be they misdiagnosed the problem. Ok, time to shut up.
