1-31412862 - The reporter, a physician, indicated that a patient was exposed to a registrant herbicidal product containing the active ingredient Paraquat and a non-registrant product with the active ingredient glyphosphate. The physician reported that 1.5 hours prior to initial contact with the registrant a (age) year old, male patient inadvertently ingested about 10mls of a mixture of non-registrant and registrant product which had been combined and put in a Lipton iced tea bottle by the patients friend. The caller indicated that as soon as the patient drank from the bottle he vomited and his emesis was colored blue. When first admitted to the emergency room the patient was suffering from hypertension which had resolved by the time of initial contact. The patient was admitted into the hospital and treated with acetylcysteine and intravenous fluids. Two days after initial contact with the registrant blood work showed an increase in creatinine to 2.2. Three days after initial contact with the registrant the patients nurse indicated that the patients creatinine was decreasing but that the patient was complaining of a sore throat. Endoscopy was performed five days after initial contact which revealed esophagitis. The patient was discharged from the hospital six days after initial contact and was treated on an outpatient basis for his esophagitis. No further information is available.
