Fatal Pediatric Lead Poisoning --- New Hampshire, 2000
On March 29, 2000, a 2-year-old girl was seen at a community hospital emergency department with a low-grade fever and vomiting of approximately 1 day's duration. The child had been well since arriving in New Hampshire from Egypt with her Sudanese refugee family 3 weeks earlier. Laboratory findings included a microcytic anemia (hemoglobin: 7.6 g/dL; lower limit of normal: 11.5 g/dL) with occasional basophilic stippling of red blood cells. A throat swab streptococcal antigen screening test was positive. She was discharged from the emergency department with prescriptions for an antibiotic and antiemetic to treat presumed strep throat. However, her vomiting worsened, and she was admitted to the same hospital on April 17, and then transferred to a tertiary-care hospital the next day. On April 19, approximately 5 hours after the transfer, she became unresponsive, apneic, and hypotensive. She was intubated and placed on a ventilator.

Rural Health Policy - New Hampshire
The North Country Health Consortium (NCHC) was developed in 1997 and is a vertically integrated health and human services network located in Northern New Hampshire. The network is composed of four Critical Access hospitals, one rural hospital, two community health centers, a region-wide network of community mental health centers, two home health agencies and the Community Action Program that serves the area. NCHC members are safety net providers serving patients that display all the characteristics of an under-served population including morbidity and mortality considerably higher than the state average and household income 30 percent below the state average. In addition, a substantial portion of the population has no access to health care reimbursement. Thirty-seven percent of the NCHC service area lies within the boundaries of the White Mountains National Forest. The rural, mountainous terrain creates substantial barriers to the services enjoyed by the residents of the rest of the s ... [Read More]
