In EoTW we saw that when you're injured by a Myrddraal you die. The steel of it's sword is lethal. It's pretty much what happened to Tam until Moiraine healed him.
We saw Thom meet the Fade with his knives and they created all sorts of blue light when the blade and sword met.
All I can think of is that the Fade touched him in some sort of ghoul way, and gave him some sort of curse, if this is possible. However, we've seen a Fade manhandle Carridin without any effect.
Thoughts?

I always figured the Fade simply gave the old man a bitch slap that sent him flying
