- W2000581091 abstract "Malingering is when a patient feigns illness for secondary gain. While most patients with malingering manufacture or exaggerate symptoms, some patients may induce illness. Previous reports of malingering patients inducing illness include sepsis, kidney pain, migraine, and chest pain. However, acute poisoning as a manifestation of malingering appears to be rare.We describe the case of a 39-year-old man who presented to the emergency department complaining of diffuse body pain. The patient reported multiple admission at outside hospitals for “lactate” and said, “it feels like it is happening again because of how my body feels.” Laboratory findings were concerning for serum lactate of >20.0 mmol/L and ethylene glycol (EG) level of 19 mg/dL. A chart review found that the man had been admitted for elevated serum lactate 8 times to area hospitals in several years, often in the setting of EG poisoning. During these episodes he required intravenous fluids and frequent intravenous pain medications. When confronted about concern regarding the recurrent fallacious lactate levels in the setting of factitious EG ingestion, the patient often became combative and left against medical advice. The primary metabolite of EG, glycolic acid, can interfere with lactate assays, causing a false elevation. Our patient apparently recognized this and took advantage of it to be admitted and receive intravenous opioids. This is the only case known to us of malingering via EG ingestion.Emergency physicians should be aware that metabolites of EG may interfere with serum lactate assay. In addition, they should be aware of possible malingering-related poisoning and plausible association with requests for intravenous opioid pain medications. This represents a risk to the patient and others if undiagnosed." @default.
