    AbstractOn July 28, 1992, two employees of a pharmacy in Vermont fainted within four hours after arriving for work; at a local hospital emergency department, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning was diagnosed based on elevated carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) levels. The pharmacy was evacuated, and the remaining eight employees were transported to the hospital for evaluation. Further investigation by the Vermont Department of Health (VDH) revealed that, on July 24, one of the employees had fainted, but CO poisoning was not suspected, and vasovagal syncope was diagnosed. This report summarizes the investigation of these cases by VDH.
