In the last two months, five Marylanders have developed severe lung illness after using electronic cigarettes, state health officials said.
The Maryland Department of Health worked with the Maryland Poison Center at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy to identify the affected individuals. None of the cases have been fatal and are among nearly 200 such cases of vaping-related illness in 22 states.
Patients reported symptoms including shortness of breath, pain associated with breathing, coughing, fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Doctors found no clear infectious cause. All of the patients required hospitalization.
