MATLAB: Extracting confidence interval data from fitdist()

fitdistMATLABpoissondistribution

I'm using fitdist() to fit a poisson distribution, which works great, but I'm having trouble locating the confidence interval within the created PoissonDistribution object. The confidence interval gets returned if you enter the distribution object in the command line, but as far as I can tell doesn't exist as a substructure within the distribution. I'm not sure how to extract the confidence interval if I don't know where it is stored. Thanks!
pd = fitdist(a','poisson');
pd =
Poisson distribution
lambda = 0.0166667 [0.000421963, 0.0928607]
pd.lambda
ans =
0.0167

Use the paramci function:
pd_ci = paramci(pd)
