| Title | Report Involving a Patient with an Undetected Pregnancy Who Received Therapeutic I-131 Treatment |
| Event Description | On 06/02/08, a female patient was tested for pregnancy prior to receiving a therapeutic Iodine-131 (I-131) dose at the Wilford Hall Medical Center located on Lackland AFB near San Antonio, TX. The serum screening result was negative. A dose of 149.2 millicuries I-131 was subsequently administered on 06/04/08 with no complications. On 08/13/08, the patient was informed she was pregnant. Follow-up consultation with the REAC (Radiation Emergency Assistance Center) and calculations determined that the dose to the fetus was approximately 31.5 Rad. However, since the incident occurred early in the zygote phase of development there is no anticipated adverse consequences.
The Air Force Radioisotope Committee was notified of this incident on 08/27/08. |
