1-29002567-The reporter described a potential exposure to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter indicated he is an employee of a workmans compensation group that had been contracted to investigate a case. He reported the patient is a (age) year old male with lots of health issues. The caller was able to provide only that the patient had COPD and was a smoker. He reported on 12/21/12 the patient entered a residential common area where the product had been applied by a commercial pest control operator 15 minutes prior. The reporter indicated carpet cleaning had also been performed in the area within several days of the incident. The patient developed coughing within 5-15 minutes and promptly left the application area. No symptoms were reported for the next two days. On 12/29/12 the patient was hospitalized in (state). The reason for the hospitalization was unknown as the patients medical records were unavailable. The patient was released from the hospital 12/29/12. The patient then returned home and on 01/12/12 the patient was again hospitalized where he remained until the point of the initial report one month later. The patient was reported to be in a medically-induced coma to facilitate the respirator and assisted feeding. The reporter stated the iatrogenic coma was the patient's choice, due to anxieties about having tubes in him. The diagnosis was "double pneumonia". The reporter was advised the time line and severity of symptoms are inconsistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient of the finished product. Aromas of pesticides can sometimes irritate the airway, most notable in individuals with pre-existing disease. But, these individuals can equally be sensitive to any aroma such as perfumes and cleaning supplies. He was advised the patients symptoms were not likely related to the described contact with the application area. On follow up the reporter indicated the patient was unchanged one day later. He reported the diagnosis of double pneumonia was provided by the patiens wife not by a health care professional or the medical record. One further follow up attempt was made, at which point the reporter indicated he had been taken off the case and would have no further information. No alternative contact was provided. No further information is available.
