National, state and local public health agencies are investigating a multi-state outbreak of e-cigarette or vaping associated lung injury (EVALI). CDC identified vitamin E acetate as a chemical of concern. But we don’t yet know enough to rule out other causes. EVALI is a diagnosis of exclusion because no specific test or marker currently exists.
Report suspected cases within 3 business days.
