3/20/2014 Caller is a toxicologist for a poison control center. A local hospital called and reported they have a (age) year old child with aplastic anemia. They have done a pretty extensive work-up and cannot find a good cause for the aplastic anemia. The child was staying in a local shelter that had been previously treated with this product on 3/1/2014. Child had been staying in the shelter for many months prior. Child was out of the shelter for about 1 hr after treatment was made. Product was applied to cracks and crevices. Patient contact with treated surfaces is speculative. Within 2 to 3 days of the application child became ill with fatigue, vomiting, and apparent jaundice. Child was seen by his primary care doctor at that time. Unspecified lab work done that day in the clinic but he was subsequently admitted to the hospital the following day where he is at present. At the time of admission his aspartate aminotransferase was over 3000, and alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin were elevated as well. There was also evidence of anemia and pancytopenia. A liver biopsy and bone marrow biopsy have been done, and found to have hypoplastic bone marrow. He has been seen by other specialists as well, and bacterial and vial cultures have all returned negative. Following admission his liver function appears to be improving though there has been no cause determined for the aplastic anemia that he has developed. Caller states she does not think the deltamethrin in the product would cause these signs.
