Narrative:

Shortly after arriving at the gate in our destination; the C flight attendant reported to me that she experienced symptoms and smelled an odor consistent with previous cabin odor reports turned in by other crew members. Her experience; as reported to me; occurred during takeoff and climb to approximately 10;000 ft. She stated that she smelled a dirty sock or musty odor and experience burning eyes at position 2R (A321) beginning at initial takeoff thrust application; with the smell and burning eye sensation gradually subsiding during the climb out; stating that she recalled not smelling the odor at about the time that I turned off the ped at 10;000 ft. Her only complaint beyond those was a sensation in the back of her throat throughout the remainder of the flight. None of the other flight attendants or the cockpit crew members experienced what the C flight attendant experienced. After receiving her report; I contacted maintenance through dispatch to report the odor occurrence. I advised the flight attendant to contact her supervisor and get advice on whether she should seek medical care; and also advised the rest of the crew to do the same if they thought it was necessary. The aircraft was written up; an aircraft cabin odor report was filled out by me with the assistance of the effected flight attendant; and the logbook page and odor report were faxed to maintenance. Our outbound flight was subsequently canceled; and at the time of this writing; the aircraft is awaiting maintenance personal from a nearby maintenance station to trouble shoot the problem.
